Notions of the 鈥楴ordic鈥� have always been an issue in Norway鈥檚 national identity building, both before and after it became a sovereign state in 1905.聽Accordingly, Norwegian music has expressed a sense of ambivalence towards being conceived as 鈥楴ordic鈥� from the outside: A strong sense of 鈥楴orwegianness鈥� (forged during the heroic age of cultural nation-building in the 19th century) was challenged by the advent of new, nationalistic currents in the 1930s, which used notions of the Nordic as a political weapon.聽This book shows how music expresses affirmation and ambivalence towards the 鈥楴ordic鈥� as an ingredient of Norwegian national identity across musical genres. Further, it explores the contingencies of national music and the dramatic changes in 20th-century European political history. At the same time, it sheds new light on the difference between musical nationalism and national music.
