	Nordic music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nordic music includes a diverse array of popular, folk and classical styles found in a number of Northern European, especially Scandinavian, countries.
		The Nordic countries are generally taken to include Iceland, Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark.
		Greenland's Inuit population has their own musical traditions, which have been melded with elements of Nordic music, such as the kalattuut style of Danish polka.

	John D White: A Projected Volume on Nordic New Music
		Director and founder of the Center for the Study of Danish Music at the University of Louisville, she is also the Director of Graduate Studies in the School of Music at U.L. where she has taught since 1979.
		Nordic composers of the past such as Edvard Grieg and Jan Sibelius are household words in musical circles, and the names of Carl Nielsen, Jon Leifs, and Wilhelm Stenhammar are becoming increasingly famous as their works become better known.
		Also, the annual "Nordic Music Days" is hosted each year by one of the five countries and new music is invariably a prominent feature of this festival.

	Music Library
		In March 1995 the Gordon Ekvall Tracie Music Library was established as a research archive of traditional Nordic music and dance, available to the public at Nordic Heritage Museum in Seattle.
		Like much of the commercially recorded music in the archives, many of the Library's books, monographs, periodicals, sheet music, and dance notes are now out of print and have become all the more valuable to researchers.
		One of the Library's particular missions is the continuing documentation of the Nordic folk music and dance scene in the Pacific Northwest.

	Traditional Nordic dance music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Traditional Nordic dance music is a type of traditional music or folk music that once was common in the mainland part of the Nordic countries - Scandinavia plus Finland.
		Finnish traditional dance music is often called pelimanni music in English, while there does not seem to exist a similar, widespread term for the corresponding music from the other countries.
		Nordic folk dance music consists of various dance rhythms, that do not originate in the Nordic countries but once were the fashion dances among the European nobility.

		Nordic Lounge, billed as an "introduction to contemporary nordic music" is a combination of deep house sweetness, nu jazz cool and swanky, sophisticated lounge sounds.

	Nordic Folk: National Geographic World Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		While the goal of preserving regional music was a worthy one, it stifled – or at least did not encourage – innovation.
		One of contemporary Nordic music's first international exposures was Henry Kaiser's and David Lindley's early 1990s collection of Norwegian music, The Sweet Sunny North.
		While this multinational creative revolution is certainly a golden age of folk music for the Nordic region, it has had limited impact on the mainstream among the respective countries.

	Norsk Musikkinformasjon: Magma 2002 - Nordic Music Days in Perspective
		MAGMA 2002 is a new variation of The Nordic Music Days, which, on the cultural arena, is the oldest existent form for Nordic co-operation.
		In the period from 1940 – 45, the Nordic countries found themselves on all sides of the front: Norway and Denmark were occupied by Germany, Iceland by England, Finland allied herself with Germany against Russia while Sweden remained neutral.
		This was a forum in which several Nordic composers, many having been educated in Leipzig and Berlin, had the opportunity to perform their music.

	Introduction to Nordic Music
		The music of Sapmi, more widely known as "Lappland." This is grounded in the traditional Same music form, the joik.
		These are the roots and branches of Nordic music, some with unchanged form, some reminiscent of 1960's style folk of the Peter Paul and Mary era.
		Although I bought my first two bus station music tapes in a bus station in Helsinki (hence the origin of the name I have given this kind of music), it is no longer generally available in bus stations, which tend to sell more modern pop these days.

	Amazon.com: Nordic Roots: Northside Sampler: Music: Various Artists (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		This disc touches on music that covers both ends of the spectrum: from quaint, straight ahead renditions from groups such as Chateau Neuf, Den Fule, and the instrumentally exciting Vsen, to the experimental stylings of fiddler Hege Rimestad, riff rockers Hoven Droven and the aforementioned Hedningarna.
		About half the music is really good and catching, but just as many of the melodies are boring or too similar to each other.
		All this music at a very special price." Neo-traditional would probably be a better description of most of the selections, as they combine the quaintness of traditional tunes and folk instruments with elements of rock, technopop, jazz, world fusion music and new age.

	Nordic Roots 2005 / Interviews -
		While a growing number of young musicians are pushing Scandinavian folk music in every direction, from psychedelia to chamber music, the music has still not found its rightful audience.
		I've been pushing Nordic music on people for years, and even among world-music fans, I've found a puzzling amount of resistance.
		We don't want to modernize folk music or do crazy things with it, we are filtering a lot of music through the band and we use what we have to achieve what we want.

		When the topic of Scandinavian music comes up, the first artists mentioned are usually American- and European-influenced Swedish pop bands like Abba, Ace of Bass, and the Cardigans.
		In fact, there is so much traditional music coming out of Scandinavia that Rob Simonds, one of the founders of Rykodisc, quit his position there two years ago to form Northside Records, a label whose mission is to bring Swedish, Finnish, and Norwegian folk music to America.
		But for the most part, the music that labels like Northside is bringing into the US market will sound surprisingly familiar to anyone with an ear for Celtic and American folk musics.

		The amount of energy that Väsen generates with its music is particularly astounding when one considers that they are an acoustic group.
		The recording is very clear, so that the dissonances found in Nordic music have a biting edge.
		The balance among the different instruments is good and the crowd noise does not overwhelm the music (as one of the noisy crowd, I am very relieved by that).

		A mystical white horse also appears on the cover with the group's vocalist Jenny Wilhelms who herself could be confused with a flaxen-haired maiden that often appears in medieval Nordic songs.
		But none of this comes as a surprise since Gjallarhorn plays medieval traditional music hailing throughout Scandinavia and the musicians decorate all their repertoire with a global view.
