The music played is mainly folk songs and folk songs. Common ones include the two-beat Haring, the three-beat Springal, the slow classical Gangal and the wedding march. Norway's professional musical culture in the Middle Ages was basically within the scope of the church. In the 12th century, church seminaries were established in Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger and other places to teach Gregorian chant to priests. The development of modern music culture in Norway is related to the historical background of the Norwegian people's struggle for national independence and the rising national consciousness in the 19th century. In the second half of the 19th century, an eye-catching national music school emerged in Norway, which achieved world-renowned artistic achievements and became an integral part of European music culture.
