The Nature of Nordic Music explores two distinctive yet complementary understandings of the term nature: the inherent features, characters and qualities of contemporary Nordic music, and how the elemental forces of nature, the phenomena of the physical world (landscape, climate, environment), inspire and condition creativity here.
Within a broader debate about the meaning of Nordicness, 12 case studies challenge our assumptions about a Nordic tone to reveal a creative energy that is diverse and cosmopolitan in outlook. Each of the three parts of the book Identities, Images and Environments accommodates an eclectic array of musical genres (classical, popular, jazz, folk, electronic).
This book will appeal to anyone interested in Nordic music and culture, especially students and researchers.
