Performance - music
A demonstration of a reconstructed horse-hair fiddle by musician Einar Selvik (of Wardruna) during the Old Norse Poetry in Performance (ONPIP) Conference at Somerville College, Oxford on Friday 24 June 2016. A fiddle-like instrument was discovered at Hedeby, but it was probably not a type common in Scandinavia. The <span>earliest depiction is from a statue from the 1200´s in the oldest part of the cathedral in Trondheim, Norway. This instrument was common in Scandinavia, especially Finland, up until the early 1900s.</span><br /><br />More information about the band and project can be found at <a href="http://wardruna.com/about/">http://wardruna.com/about/</a>

Reconstruction
Wardruna is a musical project based on Nordic mythology and spirituality. As their website explains, they rework Norse poetry and narratives: "With the use of the oldest of Nordic instruments and poetic metres as well as lyrics written in Norwegian, Old Norse and Proto-Norse tongue". The group was founded by Einar Selvik. The website features several audio clips and music videos.
