NABMSA Reviews a Publication of the North American British Music Studies Association

Ina Boyle inhabits a unique space in twentieth-century music in Ireland as the first resident Irishwoman to write a symphony. If her name conjures any recollection at all to scholars of British music, it is most likely in connection to Vaughan Williams, whom she studied with privately, or in relation to some of her friends and close acquaintances such as Elizabeth Maconchy, Grace Williams, and Anne Macnaghten. While the appearance of a biography may seem somewhat surprising at first glance, for those more aware of the growing interest in Boyle’s music in recent years, it was only a matter of time for her life and music to receive a more detailed and thorough examination. -
A Walkabout Around Historical Blasieholmen and Nybroviken in Stockholm Along the Baltic Sea Water Inlet to Stockholm
A Walkabout around historical Blasieholmen and Nybroviken in Stockholm along the Baltic Sea water inlet to Stockholm. Our walkabout will start at Kungsträdgården (King’s Garden) and continue along the streets around Blasieholmen towards Nybroviken (New Bridge Bay), where we will view many objects of interests. We will receive more value from the walkabout if we develop a better un- derstanding of the local history of an area when we are viewing the many visual objects. Area around Blasieholmen and Nybroviken Photo: Arlid Vågen I’m arriving at Kungsträdgården Metro Station (1), located in the district of Norrmalm. The platform is located approximately 115ft (34m) under ground. During the exit from the metro station I see several relics rescued from the many buildings demolished, during the some- times tragic redevelopment period of central Stockholm during the period of the 1950s and 1960s. I continue walking along the Birgit Nils- son Allè towards the Stockholm Ström water- front area. Birgit Nilsson was the Swedish world known dramatic opera soprano excelling Walking map for this Walkabout in Wagner style operas. The park Kungsträdgården is divided into four distinct spaces: Square of Charles XII; Molin’s Fountain; Square of Charles XIII and “Fountain of Wolodarski”. My absolute favorite is Charles XII statue, on my right in the middle of the park, with his arm pointing eastward. The story is that he had some un- finished business with the Russians (what’s new...). During the spring time Kungsträdgården presents a stunning view of flower- ing cherry blossoms for the visitor. I soon arrive at Stockholm Ström and see the Royal Castle to my right across the water and the famous Grand Hotel (2) and Nationalmuseum (3) to my left. -

THE AEOLIAN ORCHESTRA Conducted by Rhene-Baton La Grande Päque Russe. Overture Jmsky-Korsakoo Parts 1 & 2 La GrandeBrande Pique Russe. Overture `Rimsky-KorsakooRimsky-Korsakoo iý Parts 3 & 4 ý A-0256 1T 5,'6 R IMSKY-KORSAKOV'S "Easter" Overture though less well-known in England than some of his other works is none the less one of his finest orchestral compositions. It dates from about the same period in his career as the famous "Scheherazade" and, like that work, is dis- tinguished especially by the vividness and richness of its orchestration. At the same time the fine Russian church tunes on which it is based serve as a splendid thematic foundation for a most arresting and attractive work, every detail of which has been brought out in masterly stale by M. Rhend- Baton. Composer, conductor, pianist, writer-1I. Rhene-Baton is one of the most brilliant of living French musicians. London music lovers will remember him in connection with the Russian Ballet's performances of Stravinsky's "Sacre du Printemps" and other works which he directed in 1912, while more recently, in January last, he had great success as con- ductor of one of the Royal Philharmonic Society's concerts, the programme including this same work of Rimsky-Iiorsakov of which he has now pro- duced, in conjunction with the Aeolian Orchestra, such brilliant records.

One of the greatest of living pianists he has the further distinction of making SAPELLNIKOFFexceptionally fine records-a result to be attributed doubtless to the superlatively beautiful quality of his touch and tone and the wonderful finish and delicacy of his execution. -
Stockholm's Archipelago and Strindberg's
Scandinavica Vol 52 No 2 2013 Stockholm’s Archipelago and Strindberg’s: Historical Reality and Modern Myth-Making Massimo Ciaravolo University of Florence Abstract The Stockholm Archipelago is ubiquitous in the prose, poetry, drama and non-fiction of August Strindberg. This article examines the interaction in Strindberg’s oeuvre between the city of Stockholm as civilized space and the wild space surrounding it, tracing the development of a literary myth of Eden in his work. Strindberg’s representations of the shifting relations between city and nature, it is argued, played (and still play) an important role in the cultural construction of mythologies of the loss of the wild space. The environments described in Strindberg’s texts are subject to changes, shifts and repetitions with variations, such that the archipelago in itself can be read as a mirror of the polyphony of points of view, the variability and the ambiguities we find in his oeuvre at large. Keywords August Strindberg, Stockholm Archipelago, city in literature, nature in literature, mythologies 52 Scandinavica Vol 52 No 2 2013 August Strindberg’s home town of Stockholm, together with its wilder counterpart, the archipelago or skärgård (literally meaning group, or circle, of islands and skerries), plays a large part in Strindberg’s literary universe as well as in his life. The archipelago is ubiquitous in his oeuvre; it occurs in prose as well as in poetry and in drama, and it characterizes both fiction, autobiography and non-fiction (essays, letters and diaries). It can sometimes provide the setting to whole works, but in a series of other works it can be included as one of the settings, or even be mentioned peripherally. -

Bart Pushaw for Display in Paris at the World’S Fair That Same Year
Sámi, Indigeneity, and In 1900, the Swedish artist Karl Nordström painted a connection with the natural world, citing the declaration colossal landscape of a place he had never been.1 Unlike of Swedish poet Verner von Heidenstam that “it is the many of his other landscape paintings, this new work was primitive that we city dwellers seek in the rural areas during the Boundaries of Nordic not supposed to be a “landscape of the soul.” Instead, the summer, the primitive and its peace.”3 Large tracts of Nordström was working under the commission of the wilderness and a historically low population density in the National Romanticism Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara Aktiebolag (LKAB), a mining Nordic countries had long fostered an intimate connection company founded in 1890 to extract iron ore from between humankind and the natural world. Only in the northernmost Sweden. His task was to paint a panoramic late nineteenth century did Nordic urbanites consider this view over the pristine, steppe-like landscape of Kiirunavaara relationship under threat from rapid industrialization. Bart Pushaw for display in Paris at the World’s Fair that same year. At the display, Nordström’s painting was encircled by a wooden Nordic peoples and artists sought to reclaim this connection frame bearing the names of the sites of the company’s new with nature by tracing the roots of their character, chiselled mining ventures: Gällivare, Luossavaara, and Kiirunavaara by their resilience in a harsh climate, specifically to their (fig. 1).

(år) Vårterm. (år) Sommartermin (år) 2021 The portrait of sculptor emerged in the sixteenth century, where the sitter’s occupation was indicated by his holding a statue. This thesis has focus on portraits of sculptors at the turn of 1900, which have indications of profession. 60 artworks created between 1872 and 1927 are analyzed. The goal of the thesis is to identify new facets that modernism introduced to the portraits of sculptors. The thesis covers the evolution of artistic convention in the depiction of sculptor.

S PECIAL interest attaches to these records for three reasons. In the first place the work itself is one of the grandest examples of its class ever written, secondly it is now issued for the first time by any come pany in this country and thirdly the solo part has been played by one of the greatest of living pianists, who had the further distinction of perform- ing the work for the first time in England under the direction of the composer himself. Sapellnikoff's commanding powers have long since been known to the 'Vocalion' public, as to the world at large but even he has never done anything finer than the truly magnificent interpretation which he has provided of one of the most exacting and at the same time supremely effective of all existing compositions of its type. The discerning hear will not fail to notice, also, the splendid quality of the accompanying orchestral playing by the Aeolian Orchestra under the direction of Mr. Stanley Chapple, and the strikingly successful way in which the whole work has been r'produced.CLARA SERENA (Contralto) In Italian. -
