(Short description)
Notions of the "Nordic" have always been an issue in Norway's national identity building, both before and after it became a sovereign state in 1905. Accordingly, Norwegian music has expressed a sense af ambivalence towards being conceived as "Nordic" from the outside: A strong sense of "Norwegianness" was challenged by the advent of new, nationalistic currents in the 1930s, which used notions of the Nordic as a political weapon. This book shows how music expresses affirmation and ambivalence towards the "Nordic" across musical genres. Further, it explores the contingencies of national music and the dramatic changes in 20th-century European political history.

Notions of the 'Nordic' have always been an issue in Norway's national identity building, both before and after it became a sovereign state in 1905.
Accordingly, Norwegian music has expressed a sense of ambivalence towards being conceived as 'Nordic' from the outside: A strong sense of 'Norwegianness' (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.
This book shows how music expresses affirmation and ambivalence towards the 'Nordic' 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.
(Review)
Die versammelten Aufsätze entfalten ein breites und facettenreiches Panorama, betreten mitunter genuines Forschungsneuland und eröffnen durch ihren Fallstudiencharakter zahlreiche Ansätze für künftige Untersuchungen, auch weit über die deutsch-norwegischen Musikbeziehungen hinaus. Zudem lenken sie den Blick auf die noch zu wenig aus vergleichender Perspektive betrachteten internationalen Musikbeziehungen im 20. Jahrhundert und insbesondere das Musikleben unter deutscher Besatzung, die erst allmählich größere Beachtung finden. Viele Beiträge zeichnen sich zudem durch intensive Arbeit mit teils unbekannten Archivquellen aus und sind durch faksimilierte Dokumente und Bildmaterial angereichert.
