My project focuses on the musical aspect of Norwegian culture including its derivatives, its influences, and the modern manifestations of music in Norway. Norway is not known as a major culture exporter, and has played a decidedly passive roll in the international music industry, however we have seen some successful music acts come from the country. The styles of Norwegian music have greatly changed over the centuries, though much of Noway's musical heritage has been persevered through oral tradition and has even adapted to more modern styles. As learning goals for the project I hope to learn more about Norwegian culture as a whole as represented through their music and what international music they listen to. I want to be able to converse with someone in English about what Norwegian popular music is like. Additionally I want to be able to speak to a Norwegian about music in general, thus through this project I hope my vocabulary increases particularly in regards to words concerned and associated with music.
