[Footnote 9: For interesting accounts of the composition
of new ballads, cf. Lyngbye's article in the _Skandinavske
Litteraturselskabs Skrifter_, 12th and 13th Annual, p. 234
ff.; also P. E. M¸ller, Introduction to Lyngbye's _FÊr. Kv._,
pp. 14, 15. The _TrawlaravÌsur_ and other ballads, besides
the dances and tunes of the Faroe Islands of today, have been
investigated by Thuren who published several studies on this
most interesting subject, e.g. _Dans og Kvaddigtning
paa FÊr¯erne, med et Musikbilag_, 1901. _Folkesangen paa
FÊr¯erne_, 1908, etc., (cf. especially _Nyere Danseviser_, pp.
273-282), etc.]

[Footnote 11: According to H. Thuren, _Dansen paa FÊr¯erne_
(Copenhagen, 1908), p. 9, a certain fixed number of songs are
now sung on Suder¯; a great many have been quite forgotten
since Hammershaimb wrote.]
[Footnote 12: It is also occasionally danced in Andefjord,
but only very rarely nowadays (cf. H. Thuren, _Dansen paa
FÊr¯erne_, p. 8).]

word most commonly used to denote a ballad. The Faroese use
_KvÊi_, and less frequently _RÌma_.]
