Thread Name: harmoniums in folk music
Subject: RE: harmoniums in folk music
As a box player, I find the British variety rather slow to 'speak', although in the right context, it has a certain appeal. I'd instance the rendition of 'To A Wild Rose' in the film 'A Month in The Country' (Branagh's best -understated- screen performance?) as apt to the purpose of this instrument. It's noteworthy that the song has a hymn-like construction.
