Career
Bjørndal started playing the fiddle as a young boy, and later studied with fiddler Ola Mosafinn,[1][2] while he learned theory by W. Gomnæs, Borghild Holmsen and J. Thorkildsen. He made his concert debut in Kristiania in February 1908.[3] From 1911 he received a scholarship for collecting traditional music. He wrote down thousands of traditional Norwegian folk melodies, which have later been stored at the University of Bergen.[1]
He played in more than six hundred weddings, gave more than 1,000 concerts, and had success in folk music contests.[1] Among his compositions is music to Torvald Tu's "Kjærlege par", music to Olav Gullvåg's play Storborgbrudlaupet (together with Johan Ludwig Mowinckel).[3] He composed several dance melodies, including "På Ulrikkens topp", and the waltz "Sumarkveld til fjells".[2] Among his publications are Norske Slåttar (from 1907 and onwards), Gamle slåttar, a biography of fiddler Ola Mosafinn and a book on Ole Bull.[4] He wrote articles on Myllarguten and Edvard Grieg, and co-wrote the book – og fela ho lét with Brynjulf Alver, published in 1966, after his death.[1] He was a music critic for the newspaper Gula Tidend from 1917 to 1940, and chaired the Norwegian National Association for Traditional Music and Dance from 1923 to 1936.[3]
He was decorated as a Knight, First Class of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav in 1954. A relief of Bjørndal, made by sculptor Sofus Madsen, was unveiled in 1973.[1]
