Nithish music is based on folk songs called ''stērvėnje'' (literally "old song"). A famous stērvėnje is "Sevruwėyu đrz percēma" (The evening wind through birch trees), which has been set to music several times by Nithish composers. During the Nōye Niđjaste artistic renaissance there was a revival of Nithish folk elements in the arts and music. | Nithish music is based on folk songs called ''stērvėnje'' (literally "old song").

A popular Nithish folk instrument is the ''kautil'', a 5 string harp resembling the Finnish kantele but with movable bridges. Songs are mostly pentatonic with minor pitch variations on each note and these are played on the kautil by pressing the strings on the other side of the bridge. It's mentioned in the Nithish epic ''Kalewasluxu''. | A popular Nithish folk instrument is the ''kautil'', a 5 string harp resembling the Finnish kantele but with movable bridges.
