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 Unpublished.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. -

NORTHERN DANCES: FOLK MUSIC FROM SCANDINAVIA AND ESTONIA Gunnar Idenstam You are now entering our world of epic folk music from around the Baltic Sea, played on a large church organ and the nyckelharpa, the keyed Swedish fiddle, in a recording made in tribute to the new organ in the Domkirke (Cathedral) in Kristiansand in Norway. The organ was constructed in 2013 by the German company Klais, which has created an impressive and colourful instrument with a large palette of different sounds, from the most delicate and poetic to the most majestic and festive – a palette that adds space, character, volume and atmosphere to the original folk tunes. The nyckelharpa, a traditional folk instrument, has its origins in the sixteenth century, and its fragile, Baroque-like sound is happily embraced by the delicate solo stops – for example, the ‘woodwind’, or the bells, of the organ – or it can be carried, like an eagle flying over a majestic landscape, with deep forests and high mountains, by a powerful northern wind. The realm of folk dance is a fascinating soundscape of irregular pulse, ostinato- like melodic figures and improvised sections. The melodic and rhythmic variations they show are equally rich, both in the musical tradition itself and in the traditions of the hundreds of different types of dances that make it up. We have chosen folk tunes that are, in a more profound sense, majestic, epic, sacred, elegant, wild, delightful or meditative. The arrangements are not written down, but are more or less improvised, according to these characters. Gunnar Idenstam/Erik Rydvall 1 Northern Dances This is music created in the moment, introducing the mighty bells of the organ. -

Här är musiken som jag brinner för, en brokig skara låtar där traditionella svenska polskor möter nykomponerad musik inspirerad av andra länders folk- musik, och av pop, rock och kammarmusik. 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. Jag mötte musik och människor från hela världen, och för mig var det liksom samma språk vi alla talade, ett språk där kopplingen mellan musik och dans är direkt och självklar. -
Falun Folk Music Festival
“From Dalarna to the Orient”: Falun Folk Music Festival Daniel Fredriksson Dalarna University [email protected] Abstract This article discusses the Swedish festival Falun Folk Music Festival (FFF) and makes use of interviews with key organisers, readings of festival brochures, and other material. I begin with a look at the intentions, motivations and negotiations of the organisers leading up to the first festival in 1986, and from there I discuss the way FFF contributed to a change in Swedish folk music discourse towards logics of professionalisation and cosmopolitanism. FFF negotiated between professionals and amateurs, traditionalists and experimentalists. This paved the way for the vast palette of musical traditions, soon to be called “world music”, to reach a Swedish audience. I argue that the cosmopolitanism of FFF, rather than being the main ideological goal of the organisers, worked as a means to an end, namely the professionalisation and artistic recognition of Swedish folk traditions. It also seems to have made the festival relevant in the cultural policy climate of the time. KEYWORDS: Falun, folk music, festival, world music, cosmopolitanism Introduction Falun Folk Music Festival (FFF) was an annual folk music and world music festival held in the small Swedish town of Falun between 1986 and 2005. The purpose of this article is to investigate how this festival played a part in shaping Swedish folk music discourse towards logics of cosmopolitanism and professionalism. I will discuss how the idea of cosmopolitanism, now so frequent among folk music enthusiasts in Sweden, was not the main focus of the festival organisers but rather a means to an end in their efforts to raise the status of traditional Swedish music. -

Svensk Folkmusik Som Samtidskulturell Uttrycksform. En Diskussion Om Stilbegreppets Användning Och Innebörd
Svensk folkmusik som samtidskulturell uttrycksform. En diskussion om stilbegreppets användning och innebörd. Mats Johansson Artikel i Norsk Folkemusikklags skrift 2004 Inledning Hösten 2001 avslutade jag min hovedfagsavhandling i etnomusikologi vid UiB. Jag hade då lämnat mitt bidrag till nordisk folkmusikforskning, ett fält som huvudsakligen präglats av texter och diskussioner som behandlar folkmusik ur ett historiskt perspektiv. Min uppsats har svensk folkmusik som tema och här kan man konstatera att förhållandevis få har behandlat genren som samtidskulturell praxis, som meningsskapande aktivitet som sker här och nu, med utgångspunkt i hur samtidens folkmusikutövare och publik definierar, upplever och praktiserar sin musik. Det sammanhang som har angett de övergripande premisserna för mitt arbete är en samtidskulturell verklighet där svensk folkmusik successivt har etablerats som en levande, dynamisk uttrycksform innanför ett mer omfattande system av genre- och stildistinktioner. Min empiriska fokus är hur ideal, föreställningar och musikalisk praxis artikuleras hos de dagens "spelmän" som mest aktivt både formar och formas innanför detta sammanhang 1. Avsikten med de intervjuer jag har gjort har på denna bakgrund varit att skaffa mig ett empiriskt grundlag för att föra ett resonemang där ambitionen är att delta i en akademisk diskurs som förhandlar om förutsättningarna för att förstå och diskutera svensk folkmusik som samtidskulturell uttrycksform. Parallellt med att jag tolkar och försöker komma till insikt i centrala aspekter vid mina informanters stilförståelse försöker jag föra en diskussion runt teoretiska och metodiska implikationer för det vetenskapliga studiet av musik generellt och stilbeskrivningar speciellt. Olika uttalade föreställningar och orienteringspunkter hos mina informanter har bildat en utgångspunkt för tolkning och beskrivning av en process, genom vilken olika collage av uttryckselement och referenser/attityder kanoniseras, m.a.o. -

8. Sweden Before Fernando
Tagg: Fernando the Flute (IV) 267 8. Sweden before Fernando Under the heading ‘Chile, Sweden and the USA’ (pp. 241-257) I argued that most Swedish listeners were able, at the time of Fernando’s release, to connect the song’s ‘Andean’ sounds and the ‘fighting for freedom’ of its lyrics to the plight of the Chilean people after the fascist coup of 1973. That perspective is certainly important but it addresses only one aspect of the song’s wider Frn08-Sweden1.fm. 2017-11-07, 12:06 2017-11-07, Frn08-Sweden1.fm. meaning. Just as relevant to its semiotics is the musical and political climate of mid-1970s Sweden, more specifically the stand-off, mentioned in the pref- ace, between a certain type of left-wing radicalism and populist notions of entertainment. That contradiction was typified by opposing attitudes to- wards Abba, their songs and performances. To grasp such ideological as- pects of the band and its output, including Fernando, it’s necessary to unravel the strands of Abba’s musical background and the values ascribed to that heritage by Swedish audiences of the day. It’s a process that demands some knowledge of specifically Swedish popular music phenomena; and it’s why this chapter explains topics like gammaldans, folkmusik, visa, schlager, dans- band, svensktopp and progg. Anglocentrics may be tempted to dismiss this na- tional focus as peripheral but I maintain that it is central to the semiotics of Fernando, not least because Abba’s international appeal was, as I will argue later (p. 000), to a significant extent contingent on their being Swedish.
