17th May in Norway

May 17th. Norway's Nation Day. The day our constitution was sign in 1814. It is celebrated all over the country by both children and grown-ups participating in traditional processions with brass music and flaggs.

This song, the children's National song, was written by the poet Henrik Wergeland. He was a boy who lived in the place where the constitution was developed and signed in 1814, and was the one that made the people of Norway start this great tradition. 💗

In Norway there are many children playing in Janissary Corps and in most places there is live music played by such bands playing on 17th of May.
