Ole Hendricks was an immigrant both representative and exceptional
- a true artistic talent who nevertheless lived a familiar
immigrant experience. By day, he was a farmer. But at night, his
fiddle lit up dance halls, bringing together all manner of
neighbors in rural Minnesota. Each tune in his repertoire of
waltzes, reels, polkas, quadrilles, and more were copied neatly
into his commonplace book. Such tunebooks, popular during the
nineteenth century, rarely survive and are often overlooked by folk
scholars in favor of commercially produced recordings, published
sheet music, or oral tradition. Based on extensive historical and
genealogical research, Amy Shaw presents a grounded picture of a
musician, his family, and his community in the Upper Midwest,
revealing much about music and dance in the area. This notable
contribution to regional music and folklore includes more than one
hundred of Ole's dance tunes, transcribed into modern musical
notation for the first time. Ole Hendricks and His Tunebook will be
valuable to readers and scholars interested in ethnomusicology and
the Norwegian American immigrant experience.
