Secret Garden is an Irish-Norwegian duo playing
New Instrumental Music,
also understood by some as Neo-classical music.
It features the Irish violinist Fionnuala Sherry and
the Norwegian composer/pianist Rolf Løvland.
Secret Garden has sold over 3 million albums
and won the Eurovision Song Contest for Norway in 1995,
with the composition Nocturne.
It was the first and only time to date that a predominantly
instrumental piece has won the Eurovision Song Contest,
although a few Norwegian language lyrics,
written by screenwriter Petter Skavlan,
were included to ensure that the entry adhered to the contest's rules.
Norwegian singer Gunnhild Tvinnereim sang the song
in the Eurovision Song Contest,
but is actually not a member of the group.
In addition Rolf Løvland also co-wrote the song
"La det swinge" (Let it swing) that secured Norway
its first Eurovision Song Contest victory in 1985.
