Internet Site Review of The Music's of Norway

the yahoo.com search engine. I entered “Music of Norway” into the search engine; and my

computer loaded a rather large list of internet sites relating to my field of inquiry. By reading

descriptions of the internet sites, I narrowed my selection down to three web sites that

correspond with the topic I have chosen. The titles of the web sites are: Norwegian Music

Information Centre, The Hardanger Fiddle Association of America, and Folknorth Directory of

Nordic Traditional and Contemporary Folk Music and Dance.

The Norwegian Music Information Centre, is found at http://www.mic.no/. This web

site is very informative for anyone who has interest in traditional Nordic music and / or customs.

The home page lists links to different sections of the site, including: Catalogues of printed music,

an Address guide to music in Norway, Biogr

. . .
The web site also offers an HFAA

membership opportunity for fans on the Hardanger Fiddle.

In conclusion, the three internet sites I selected all contained useful information on

Norwegean music and culture. This web sites contains cultural information on all of the northwestern European

countries. One highlight of this web site is

that it contains a public archive with music clips from Hardanger fiddlers, which would be very

useful for someone who has never heard Nordic music.

It gives examples of the several different genre’s of Nordic folk music. This is very useful for one who is studying lyric patterns of Nordic folk music, as it gives information about the rhyme

scheme of different traditional Nordic folk songs.

The Hardanger Fiddle Association of America, found at http://www.
