Preface Picture it: Bergen, 2001 – a young, not so handsome boy arrives in his country of birth following a 13 year Diaspora. During those 13 years abroad, one of his top priorities had been to return to his native city. This desire was fueled by strong feelings of nostalgia and a feeling of local identity, which of course was a construction, this lad being too cosmopolitan even in his early years in Norway… As Sophia from Golden Girls1 uses the image “Picture it:...” and Sicily partly to invoke nostalgia for her homeland, she also uses it to (usually) prove a point. In my case, both points are identical. Nostalgia is what links my personal background to musical revivals and to this research project. I left Norway at the age of 10 and created a picture of an idealized Norway, to which I longed to return, while living in Linz, Austria and Berlin, Germany (and anybody who knows me from that time knows that I was a true Norwegian patriot - despite I never having actually possessed the Norwegian citizenship2). When I returned to Norway in August 2001 that picture of course did not correspond with reality. Even though I knew very deep down that my vision of Norway was a construct, it still came as a minor shock – and I dearly missed (and still miss) Berlin (look, a new nostalgia has been created). But there are two reasons for the discrepancy between my picture of Norway and the real Norway. One is simply that Norway has changed and that I have idealized what I remember from living here. However another aspect is more important – and which also became very clear to me living in Bergen again. Although having claimed to be Norwegian all along, my personality silently has adopted ideas and ideals from living in Austria and (East-)Berlin and being active within the worldwide Esperanto community. While I dislike it when people think I am German, my interaction with these communities have strongly affected who I am today. This is very important to remember when considering the following project. One of the strongest elements of a revival is nostalgia – longing for something, which existed in the past. Some performers today strive to copy elements from the past. However one of my informants said that singers always mirror the stylistic ideals of their time - also the sources that are used today. That is very important. However it is equally important to remember that present day performers 1. A popular sitcom from the mid 80s about four old women living together 2. Just to get the record straight – by birth I was an American and Swedish national and now I am an Austrian and American national. iv also are affected by their own personal background and stylistic ideals linked to that. These directly influence how they perform and can also be heard directly in their presentations. This is what I hope to show in the following project. But before starting the project, I would like to explain how I came to Bergen in 2001. First I would like to thank Prof. Christian Kaden. If it had not been for his lectures on ethnomusicology with a strong focus on the Berliner and Wiener Schule, I would not have heard of Steven Feld. If I had not heard of Steven Feld, I would not have signed up for his seminar in Bergen, Autumn 2001. If I had not signed up for his seminar, I would not have, by mistake, been accepted as a Hovedfagsstudent of ethnomusicology in Bergen. However this thesis would never have been what it became without the help of many, many people. Most important are all my main informants, who enabled me to conduct the research and I would like to thank: Asbjørg Ormberg, Berit Opheim, Bodil Haug, Gunnhild Sundli, Kjersti Wiik, Klaus Vigdal, Solgun Flaktveit, Steffen Eide, and Unni Løvlid! Without them, it would have been impossible to write the following chapters.

Each of these folk dance subcultural contexts can be said to have links to different historical periods in Europe and Scandinavia.
  • Swedish Folk Music

    Swedish Folk Music

    Ronström Owe 1998: Swedish folk music. Unpublished. Swedish folk music Originally written for Encyclopaedia of world music. By Owe Ronström 1. Concepts, terminology. In Sweden, the term " folkmusik " (folk music) usually refers to orally transmitted music of the rural classes in "the old peasant society", as the Swedish expression goes. " Populärmusik " ("popular music") usually refers to "modern" music created foremost for a city audience. As a result of the interchange between these two emerged what may be defined as a "city folklore", which around 1920 was coined "gammeldans " ("old time dance music"). During the last few decades the term " folklig musik " ("folkish music") has become used as an umbrella term for folk music, gammeldans and some other forms of popular music. In the 1990s "ethnic music", and "world music" have been introduced, most often for modernised forms of non-Swedish folk and popular music. 2. Construction of a national Swedish folk music. Swedish folk music is a composite of a large number of heterogeneous styles and genres, accumulated throughout the centuries. In retrospect, however, these diverse traditions, genres, forms and styles, may seem as a more or less homogenous mass, especially in comparison to today's musical diversity. But to a large extent this homogeneity is a result of powerful ideological filtering processes, by which the heterogeneity of the musical traditions of the rural classes has become seriously reduced. The homogenising of Swedish folk music started already in the late 1800th century, with the introduction of national-romantic ideas from German and French intellectuals, such as the notion of a "folk", with a specifically Swedish cultural tradition.

    The Fiddle Traditions the Violin Comes to Norway It Is Believed That The

    The fiddle traditions The violin comes to Norway It is believed that the violin came to that violins from this period were Norway in the middle of the 1600s brought home by, amongst others, from Italy and Germany. This was Norwegian soldiers who fought in probably as a result of upper class wars in Europe. music activities in the towns. But, much suggests that fiddle playing was known in the countryside before this. Already around 1600 ‘farmer fiddles’ are described in old sources, and named fiddlers are also often encountered. We know of the Hardanger fiddle from the middle of the 1600s, which implies that a fiddle-making industry was already established in the countryside before the violin was popular in the Norwegian towns. Rural craftsmen in Norway must have acquired knowledge about this new instrument from 1500s Italy and been inspired by it. One can imagine From 1650 onwards, the violin quickly became a popular instrument throughout the whole of the country. We have clear evidence of this in many areas – from Finnmark, the rural areas of the West Coast and from inland mountain and valley districts. The fiddle, as it was also called, was the pop instrument of its day. There exist early descriptions as to how the farming folk amused themselves and danced to fiddle music. In the course of the 1700s, its popularity only increased, and the fiddle was above all used at weddings and festive occasions. Fiddlers were also prominent at the big markets, and here it was possible to find both fiddles and fiddle strings for sale.

The research question in this study is, “Are there elements that are identifiable from traditional Icelandic music in Nordal´s work?” By using set theory analysis, and by viewing the work from an extramusical vantage point, the research demonstrated a strong tendency towards an Icelandic voice. In addition, an argument for a symbiotic relationship between the domestic and foreign elements is demonstrable. i ii My appreciation to Dr. Steven J.

Jag spelar och sjunger solo eller tillsammans med goda vänner från både folkmusik och klassiskt. Som 10-åring förälskade jag mig i nyckelharpan vid första ögonkastet! Barndomens direkta glädje av instrument och melodier övergick efterhand i ett växande intresse för folkmusiken som genre.

  • In Norwegian Stev, When Sung Jacqueline Pattison Ekgren J.P

    In Norwegian Stev, When Sung Jacqueline Pattison Ekgren J.P

    The Two-pulse “Dipod” in Norwegian Stev, When Sung Jacqueline Pattison Ekgren J.P. Ekgren Musikkinstitutt, Norway Introduction Norway has a wealth of traditional folk songs and a reciting-singing style called kveding that appears to go back a number of centuries, perhaps even a millennium. The reciting-singing style as found in the southern part of Norway in Telemark and Setesdal has posed a problem of rhythm so irregular as to be considered an inexplicable, unsystematic “free rhythm”. However, my research based on sung performance documented by film shows that typical of the singing style is a systematic two-pulse rhythm (with room for)(that encourages) considerable inherent flexibility. This rhythm is especially salient in the one-stanza form called stev, of which there is a “newer” type, nystev and an “older” type, gamlestev (“stev” is both singular and plural form). Unraveling the riddle of this rhythm can further our understanding of the Phenomenon of Singing and the Power of Song, Although I am a singer and musicologist, I find that the rhythmic musical idiosyncrasies of stev can be solved only by delving into intensive study of the poetry of stev: that is, the poetry as performed, sung. With the word “temper”, you have the letters of four core elements that are integrated in the approach and method of this paper: TE-M-PER for TExt, Music/Melody, PERformance, and “R” also for “rhythm”. I maintain that the text becomes “tempered” by the music and performance to such a degree that the music and performance must be considered an integral part of stev poetry.
