Borger, Texas August, 1953 223569 PREFACE The aim of this thesis is to present a survey of Swedish vocal music, a subject upon which nothing in English exists and very little in Swedish. Because of this lack of material the writer, who has spent a year (195152) of research in music in Sweden, through the generosity of Mrs. Alice M. Roberts, the Texas Wesleyan Academy, and the Texas Swedish Cultural Foundation, has been forced to rely for much of his information on oral communication from numerous critics, composers, and per- formers in and around Stockholm. This accounts for the paucity of bibliographical citations. Chief among the authorities consulted was Gsta Percy, Redaktionssekreterare (secretary to the editor), of Sohlmans Jusiklexikon, who gave unstintedly, not only of his vast knowledge, but of his patience and enthusiasm.

  • Competitiveness in the Music Industry a Study of the Swedish Music Companies
    J ÖNKÖPING I NTERNATIONAL B USINESS S C H O O L JÖNKÖPING UNIVERSITY Competitiveness in the Music Industry A study of the Swedish Music Companies Paper within Business Administration Author: Anders Berg Jörgen Fransson Fredrik Sörendal Tutor: Elena Raviola & Annette Johansson Jönköping January 2007 Bachelor thesis in Business Administration Title: Competitiveness in the Music Industry: A study of the Swedish Music Companies Authors: Berg, Anders; Fransson, Jörgen; Sörendal, Fredrik Tutors: Raviola, Elena and Johansson, Anette Date: 2007-01-15 Subject terms: Technological Change, Sustainable Competitive Advantage, the Music Companies. Abstract Problem: The music industry has experienced a significant technological change, leav- ing the music companies with a new way of distributing music. The sale of physical products (i.e. the CD) has decreased, and the industry has seen a steady increase in digital music. In this period of technological change, how are the four major music companies, EMI, SonyBMG, Warner Music Group and Universal Music to create a competitive advantage? Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to study and analyze how the traditional music companies are creating a sustainable competitive advantage in a technologi- cally changing environment. Method: A qualitative approach, following the logic of a case study, has been used to answer the purpose. Interviews with new media managers at the four major music companies have been conducted. Furthermore, an interview with the mobile phone operator 3 was conducted since the company is one of the biggest customers to the music companies using the new technology. In or- der to avoid a biased study, we also interviewed Robert Picard at JIBS and Kris Serian at Warner Home Video who both have extensive experience in the media industry.

  • A Projected Volume on Nordic New Music
    A Projected Volume on Nordic New Music John D. White, Evergreen, CO Since 1986, from my home base at the University of Florida and abroad, I have been exploring the new music of the Nordic countries. Having recently held a Fulbright Fellowship to Reykja- vik and even more recently an American Scandinavian Foundation Fellowship to Gothenburg, I came to the conclusion that a book about Nordic new music was needed. Early on I realized that it was too big a task for one person, so over the past year I have enlisted the help of four co-au- thors and the book, tentatively entitled New Music of the Nordic Countries, will be in five Parts each authored by one of us. I will also serve as Editor, and the book is contracted for publication in the year 2001 by Pendragon Press of Stuyvesant, New York, Robert Kessler, Managing Editor. Bound together philosophically, geographically, and to a significant extent ethnically, the five Nordic countries hold a unique place in today’s world. There is no other group of several con- tiguous nations which have so much in common culturally, politically and economically; and there are no other countries on this Earth which seem to get along so well together as these five sovereign states of the far north. They are peopled by talented humane achievers, not least in the fine arts, yet each national aspect of this pentagon possesses its own special qualities. This is cer- tainly true of music, yet little of Nordic “tone art” is widely known outside of Northern Europe, especially music of the late twentieth century.

  • Studying Rhythmical Structures in Norwegian Folk Music and Dance Using Motion Capture Technology: a Case Study of Norwegian Telespringar
    MOT ombrukket_4_2014_Layout 1 01.12.14 15.44 Side 27 Studying Rhythmical Structures in Norwegian Folk Music and Dance Using Motion Capture Technology: A Case Study of Norwegian Telespringar Mari Romarheim Haugen Abstract Norwegian telespringar is often referred to as being in so-called asymmetri- cal triple meter—that is, the three beats in the measure are of uneven dura- tion. Previous studies report that a systematic long–medium–short beat du- ration pattern seems to be a prominent feature of telespringar. This paper investigates how motion data can be incorporated into studies of rhythmi- cal structures in Norwegian telespringar using motion capture technology. It is reported from two motion capture studies: first, a fiddler playing tele- springar on a Hardanger fiddle; second, a couple dancing telespringar. Par- ticipants’ movements were recorded using an advanced optical infrared mo- tion capture system. Motion analysis of the fiddler’s foot stamping con- firms the long–medium–short beat-duration hypothesis. In addition, the fid- dler’s upper-body movements seem to be in synchrony with the bar level of the music. Motion analysis of the up/down movement of the body’s center of gravity in telespringar dancing shows a consistent libration pattern. These results appear to suggest that prominent rhythmical features of telespringar are represented in both the fiddler’s and the dancers’ body motion. They also indicate that motion capture technology is an effective means of in- vestigating music-related movements in telespringar.

  • Villarosa Sarialdi.” (2012) Directed by Dr
    HAZELGROVE, JUSTIN THOMAS, D.M.A. Sociocultural, Political, and Musical Amalgam in Thomas Jennefelt’s “Villarosa Sarialdi.” (2012) Directed by Dr. Welborn E. Young. 107 pp. This dissertation is a stylistic and contextual analysis of Thomas Jennefelt’s “Villarosa sarialdi.” The composer asserts that his work draws influence from the Baroque, American minimalism, and the Swedish choral tradition, and that assertion will be evaluated through analysis. Analysis is preceded by an historical overview of the development of choral singing in Sweden and brief biographical information about the composer. Then, influences of the Baroque and specifically the opening chorus of Bach’s St. John Passion are explored and commonalities among those influences outlined. An assessment of the work’s homage to the Swedish choral tradition follows, utilizing criteria set forth by Lennart Reimers. Finally, a concluding discussion evaluates whether the work, given its intimate connections to Swedish choral culture, can be considered patently Swedish.
