Håvard Gibøen

Håvard Gibøen (2 March 1809 – 27 July 1873) was a Norwegian fiddler and composer, born on the municipality of Møsstrond, in Telemark.

These tunes formed the basis for two compositions by Edvard Grieg, included in his opus 72, Slåtter.

His mother, Åsne, was related to the Berge family at Rauland, to whom many other folk musicians were connected.

Unlike Myllarguten, he never left his home area, and hardly travelled farther than Kongsberg.

His musical style were preserved, not only by his sons, but also by the fiddler Knut Dahle and his grandsons in Tinn.
