thank you very much @neumannsalva ! the point of the contest is sharing our culture! thank you for your entry :) . How old is that german folk song? im curious :)
Yes, you are right, but a little skill is nice too :-D And I recently started to learn guitar, so I really like your contribution (My problem is I played very long violin, which I now can't do anymore to because of a car accident where I hurt my jaw. Means I have enough knowledge to exactly hear how bad I play guitar - ahhhhhhh :-D But I am so in love with the instrument, so please record more, because I followed you)
The actual song is not very old, but the content of the song reaches back into the late middle ages to a myth of an old bridge in Frankfurt. The pictorial and sculptural representation of the dance macabre in Germany seem to be very prominent from the 14th century onward. But the tune was composed by Felicitas Kuckuck around 1930 and it became a famous children’s song despite its content. Up to date it is often sung and played/danced in schools and nursery schools.
thank you very much for your kind words! I hope you can get back to your violin playing , i love that instrument , but i can't make ONE sound out of it .. I've tried , it's really difficult hahaha.
The song has a very interesting story , very ironic that it has such a ''deep'' content but it is played as a Children's Song. I love it
Cheers!
