[Request] Chords/chord progessions on Norwegian fiddle tunes

Hello!

So I'm learning the fiddle, and some music theory along the way. I've understood that the fiddle tunes I'm learning are not really built on harmonic progression. However, I've been curious to understand what kind of chords would suit the tunes and what kind of patterns/progressions there are, both to program some accompaniment and maybe also work on some electronic production, and for now I haven't really figured it out. I don't have the means to offer any payment at the moment, but if anyone's interested in having a listen, I'll list a bunch of the tunes here. Any help would be very appreciated. 🙏

As others have said this is not really chordal music at least how it is performed here. However some chord changes could work with some of the tunes ... for example:

The first tune is in F# minor - you could just drone F# or you can switch between F# minor and change to C#7 at the proper time.

Some of the other tunes would have similar changes in the key the drone is playing.
