The set played by Ivers, Natalie McMaster, and someone else whose name escapes me, is the 13 minute one called Fiddling Ladies. I wondered if anyone could help me out with the titles. I know the main tune is Nine Points of Roguery, and one of the others is Willie Frazer or Frasier, also found on a Natalie McMaster record (My Roots are Showing, I believe). Anyone know what the other(s) is (are)?
It is played by Annbjorg Lien on the Hardanger Fiddle, and called Hildalen.
The type of the tune is called Gangar. It is a dance in 2/4 or 6/8 for couples. There are many version of Hildalen, and Annbjorg plays just a small part of it. Here's the full tune:

Actually...
I meant the other songs in the set
. I left my CD box at home, and so wasn't in a position to tell the musicians. But the tunes, I want the tunes!
