Swedish folk music is a genre of music based largely on folkloric collection work that began in the early 19th century in Sweden. [1] The primary instrument of Swedish folk music is the fiddle . Another common instrument, unique to Swedish traditions, is the nyckelharpa .
The music of Sweden shares roots with its neighbouring countries in Scandinavia, as well as Eastern Europe, including polka, schottische, waltz, polska and mazurka. The Swedish fiddle and nyckelharpa are among the most common Swedish folk instruments. The instrumental genre is the biggest one in Sweden.
The ballad was first published in 1877 as a folk song of the Södermanland region (recorded in Lunda parish, Nyköping Municipality). [1] A variant from Näshulta parish, Eskilstuna Municipality, published in the same collection in 1882, had the title Skogsjungfruns frieri ("The Courting of the Wood-nymph", a skogsjungfru or skogsnufva being a female wood-nymph or fairy).

List of folk song collections
The Swedish composer Edvin Kallstenius made an orchestral arrangement of the song in 1933. [2] By the early 20th century, many [who?] regarded the song unsuitable as a national anthem. From the 1890s, it was included in the "patriotic songs" section of song books, but up to the 1920s it was occasionally published just as "folk music".
