Just too many other things this week, but I would like to share a lovely piece from a new recording by the Danish String Quartet. The CD is titled Keel Road and it is a collection of tunes from Northern Europe by Turlough O'Carolan, traditional authors, and some contributions by the first violinist Rune Tonsgaard Sørensen and Fredrik Schøyen Sjölin, the cellist.
Here is a traditional English tune "As I Walked Out":
That is about as delicately refined as traditional folk music gets.
