This 1954 release is a snapshot of traditional Norwegian folk music. The record begins with a traditional dance song that dates back to a time when dance music was not accompanied by non-vocal instruments. The fifteen songs on this release aim to cover as much folk music history as is possible: From children's lullabies to songs commemorating religious rituals and weddings. This release, and it's accompanying liner notes, gives an excellent introduction to Norwegian folk music and folk life in general.
