    The Norwegian folk music series is a scientific collection of traditional Norwegian dance music, divided into two separate series, a hardanger fiddle series, and a regular fiddle series. The Hardanger fiddle series is already published Hardingfeleverket , and the fiddle series is in production. Together, the two series are meant to represent most, but not all, of Norwegian fiddle music as collected and written down. The Hardanger fiddle series The Hardanger fiddle books were published between 1958 and 1981 . The editors were all traditional fiddlers who were well acquainted with the music in question. The three of them, Arne Bj rndal , Truls rpen and Eivind Groven , had all collected fiddle tunes in their areas, and were now asked to put their collections into print. As work progressed, rpen and Bj rndal both died, and Groven went on alone. Most of the practical edition was carried out by him. The series consists of seven volumes, with some 2000 tunes all in all, from all the hardanger fiddle areas. The tunes are divided into families, based on musical relation. The hardanger fiddle series has not been re published, but is of great value for research on Norwegian dance music. In the USA , folk music fans regard the books in the same way as the jazz real book s. Most of the tunes are now available on the Internet .

  1. Chinese folk flute music

    Multiple issues unreferenced December 2009 cleanup November 2010 orphan February 2009 context October 2009 Chinese folk flute solos were written to tell the traditions and tales of various tribes in China , around the 12th century. They were played mostly on wooden flute s, and thus the pieces that have survived till today are written in D, which is the key these early flutes were made in. This is also why, unlike most Chinese music, these pieces are not written in a pentatonic scale , but in a more middle eastern style. We can tell this because the ornamentation of these pieces is very similar to that of the bagpipes, which were invented in India, and also surprisingly the penny whistle and other celtic instruments. These pieces were highly ornamented. Grace note s are used instead of tonguing, a technique used by the bagpipes . Unlike most western music, any two notes were used as grace notes, rather than a tone gap. These pieces were written by taking a short theme and developing it in three sections, each section adding more complex ornaments and rhythms as it progresses. Unlike the European folk structure which normally goes ABABAB etc, as in modern pop music, Chinese folk songs have a structure of AAA, or if you count the development as a change then ABC.
