  9. National anthem • Lofsöngur, also known as "Ó Guðvors lands" ("O, God of Our Land"), is the national anthem of Iceland. The lyrics are by MatthíasJochumsson and the music by SveinbjörnSveinbjörnsson. The anthem contains three stanzas, but only the first one is commonly sung. • The melody might be considered difficult to sing, as it requires a vocal range of a minor fourteenth. That the anthem is essentially a hymn has been the subject of controversy in recent times

  11. Folk music • Icelandic music has a very long tradition, with some songs still sung today dating from 14th century. Folk songs are often about love, sailors, masculinity, hard winters, as well as elves, trolls and other mythological creatures, and tend to be quite secular and often humorous

  12. This is an example of Icelandic folk music by Tyrkjaránid. • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-_lQ1UQoyU

  13. Pop music • sigurrósis a famous pop artist. • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4L_DQKCDgeM

  14. Icelandic instruments • The fiðlais a traditional Icelandic musical instrument, consisting of a box zither with two bowed strings. The strings pass over a bridge near the playing end of the instrument, and are tuned at the other end by two tuning pegs.

  15. The Langspilis a traditional Icelandic drone zither. Since old folk music has been gaining more popularity in recent years, more and more people are able to play this instrument. And since it only has 1 melody string with 1 to 5 drone strings it is easy to learn to play it compared with more complicated instruments. • The langspil can be played by plucking the strings by hand, with a bow or by hammering

  16. I don’t really like Icelandic music if I was honest as it sounds sad and some of the songs are very long.
