New Music of the Nordic Countries

Edited by John D. White

Pendragon Press, Hillsdale, N.Y., 2003

605 pages, hardcover

This comprehensive reference work is in five sections-one for each of the Nordic countries and each written by an expert in the music of his or her particular country. Emphasis is on Nordic music composed in the latter half of the 20th century, but each section begins with an overview of the particular country's past music history.
