Marken er mejet (English: The field is mown) is a Danish folk melody supposedly from Randers during the medieval times. It is a dance celebrating the harvest in late summer period. In 1868 Mads Hansen added some text to the melody. This particular recording has a double banjo intermezzo of “john Hardy”. The dance starts off slowly progressing in velocity by each round.

Hej Axel. Det er ganske pussigt at lige netop "marken er mejet" er den eneste danske folkemelodi som jeg har kastet mig ud i at spille. det er ganske vist længe siden at jeg sidst har spillet den, så min version er mere end rusten. Det er ellers en fin version som du har gang i - tak for den. :-)
