Fiddling for Norway is an engrossing portrait of a fiddle-based
folk revival in Norway, one that in many ways parallels
contemporary folk institutions and festivals throughout the world,
including American fiddling. It is a detailed case study in the
politics of culture, the causes and purposes of folk revivals, and
the cultivation of music to define identity.
The book begins with an investigation of the people and events
important to Norwegian folk fiddling, tracing the history of
Norwegian folk music and the growth and diversification of the folk
music revival. The narrative takes us to fiddle clubs, concerts and
competitions on the local, regional, and national levels, and shows
how conflicting emphases--local vs. national identity, tradition
vs. aesthetic qualities--continue to transform Norwegian folk
music. Goertzen utilizes a large anthology of meticulously
transcribed tunes to illustrate personal and regional repertoires,
aspects of performance practice, melodic gesture and form, and tune
relationships. Ethnomusicologists and readers who fiddle will enjoy
both the music and the stories it tells.
