Music Of Norway
Much has been learned about early music in Norway from physical artifacts found during archaeological digs. These include instruments such as the lur. Viking and medieval sagas also describe musical activity, as do the accounts of priests and pilgrims from all over Europe coming to visit St Olaf's grave in Trondheim. In the later part of the 19th century, Norway experienced economic growth leading to greater industrialization and urbanization.

In the last half of the 20th century, Norway, like many other countries in the world, underwent a roots revi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
