Polska (English spelling)

Japanese: ポールスカ(英語表記)polska
Polska (English spelling)
A folk dance from Sweden. It has a unique 3/4 rhythm and appears in records from the 16th century. The name suggests a connection with Poland, but the accompanying dance (also called polska) has a very northern character, and since it is found in Finland and Norway, the prevailing theory is that it is of Scandinavian origin. A similar dance (and piece of music) is known in Scotland, the reel.

Japanese:
スウェーデンに伝わる民俗的な舞曲の一つ。独特の3/4拍子のリズムをもつ曲で,すでに16世紀の記録にも登場している。名前はポーランドとの関連を示唆するが,これに伴う踊り(これもポールスカと呼ぶ)は,北方的性格がきわめて強く,その分布がフィンランド,ノルウェーにも及ぶところからみて,スカンジナビア起源のものとみる説が有力である。なお,スコットランドには,これとよく似た踊り(そして舞曲)であるリールreelが知られている。
