about

Two short 'dandling' songs : songs designed to be sung while dancing your baby on your knee. The words are taken from The Oxford Nursery Rhyme Book collected by Iona and Peter Opie (1955) from a selection of songs specifically for dandling. I have adjusted the words slightly and matched them to to of my favourite Swedish songs/polskas, 'Det Brenner En Eld' (a love song meaning 'A Fire Is Burning') and 'Handskarna Du Gav Mig' to make them meet the needs of traditional dandling songs. Thanks to Kate Fletcher for the inspiration.
