Shetland fiddle tune: Christmas Day Ida Morning. Shetland music is strongly Scandinavian (Norwegian) influenced. I agree with the poster who said that Scandinavian fiddle music sounds like Christmas. It brings up images of snow and trees, and people in Scandinavian sweaters! Pretty stereotypical images, but it's hard not to conjur those up when listening to that music. Here is a recording recommendation.

Ringing Strings: Fiddle Music Of Norway - Shetland, w/ Hauk Buen, Knut Buen, Tom Anderson, Vidar Lande.
