Here are two traditional tunes from Faroe Islands and Norway. The first is an old ballad called Regin Smidur. It's a part of the trilogy Sjúrðarkvæðini also known as the Nibelungen Lied as it is based on the same material as Wagner uses for his opera cycle. The three ballads has a total of 642 vers!
The second tune is a waltz written by Norwegian fiddler Germund Haugen around 100 years ago.
