Springar

Slip jig · 9/8 · A minor

Springar is a traditional Norwegian folk dance tune genre performed in a lively 9/8 meter, typically centered in A minor. Because specific historical origins, dates, and composers for individual tunes in this vast tradition are generally not documented, the repertoire relies on orally transmitted regional variants and distinctive fiddle styles. The music is characterized by an asymmetrical, driving rhythm that accompanies traditional coupled turning dances across various districts of rural Norway.
