This set is part of the following collections:
Music

Den Toppede Høne fra Vendsyssel is in a famous Danish tunebook called "358 Danske Folkedansemelodier". This setting is from a 1980 recording by the Danish folk group Folk Stow. At some point it got transplanted into the Scottish bagpipe repertoire under the name The Country Girl and the Hungarian Fiddler.

Hønsefødder og Gulerødder seems to be the tune for a children's song. The title translates as "chicken feet and carrots".

I got Klaphopsa from a 1992 CD by Danish button accordionist Carl Erik Lundgaard.
