Traditional/Folk Music By By: Joana Alexandrova Iceland Traditional/Folk music Iceland Iceland is a Nordic island country between the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean. It has a population of 329,100 so it’s pretty small. The interior consists of a plateau characterised by sand and lava fields, mountains and glaciers, while many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands, it’s known as a “magical” country. Traditional Icelandic music is strongly religious. Hymns, both religious and secular, are a particularly well-developed form of music. When it comes to Iceland’s musical exports, we have to go way back in time and pay homage to the composers of the sagas. Back in the Viking era, it was considered a sport to compose and perform opuses at court festivals. Traditional roots Iceland was still relatively isolated in comparison to the rest of Europe, so while European musical instruments and musical styles developed into what we now call classical music, traditional Icelandic music was either sung a-capella or played on primitive instruments. It wasn‘t until the very end of the 18th Century when young Icelandic scholars started to explore European music that music in Iceland started to evolve. But despite the evolution, thanks to that deep- rooted sense of tradition and place, there has always been something different and unique about Icelandic music and musicians - no matter how far they stray. Traditional Topics ● Love ● Sailors ● Masculinity ● Hard Winters ● Elves, trolls, mythological creatures Instruments Traditional instruments like thelangspil and fiðla, are the few of the musical instruments traditionally played in Iceland. Iceland's isolation meant that, until the 19th century, foreign influences were virtually absent, which resulted in the maintenance of a particular rhythm, called hákveða, lost in other Nordic countries and considered one of the main characteristics of Icelandic folk music. Hákveða refers to a special emphasis placed on some of the words of a song, often the last word of each sentence in each verse. For example; Ólafur Liljurós (Icelandic Folk Song) Fiðla (violin) Thelangspil Ólafur Liljurós Is a traditional song which talks about Olaf who is out riding by the cliffs, when he suddenly meets a beautiful elf maid that lives alone in the mountains. She calls him over and asks him to come and live with her in the mountains. He says yes to the offer but quickly regrets his decision and tries to ride away. He cannot leave without giving the maid a goodbye kiss. As he bends over to kiss her, she stabs him with a knife. He manages to come home to his mother, but later dies of his wound. Rímur Rímur is a type of epic vocal poem, with fixed diatonic melodies. Rímur melodies (rímnalög, kvæðalög, stemmur) are often standard. These epic poems are written in a narrative style, using elements of Icelandic literature and folklore. The performers were lauded for their ability to tell a story in verses. There were mostly versified sagas, or episodes from the sagas, a form of adaptation that was popular in Iceland from the 15th century. The earliest known text of a rímur dates to the 14th century. The rímur texts were the most prolifically produced form of Icelandic literature. Rímur, specially the short four-line metres form "ferskeytla", is still very popular today in Iceland in most social groups. End of Iceland, now we move to... Inuit culture Culture Inuit describes the various groups of indigenous peoples who live throughout Inuit Nunangat which includes: 1. Canada (Greenland) 2. United States (Alaska) 3. Aleutian Islands 4. Russia(Siberia) The Inuit are descended from whale hunters who migrated from Alaska to Greenland and the Canadian Arctic around 1000 AD . The traditional lifestyle of the Inuit is adapted to extreme climatic conditions; their essential skills for survival are hunting and trapping.Major changes in Inuit life and culture occurred during the Little Ice Age (1600–1850), when the climate in their homelands became even colder. European whalers who arrived in the latter part of the nineteenth century had a strong impact on the Inuit. Wherever they live, the Inuit today are much involved in the modern world. They have wholeheartedly adopted much of its technology, as well as its food, clothing, and housing customs. Mythology Mythology was really important for these aborigines so a lot of their traditional music was inspired in it, they had several stories, and deities myth figures. Most of their folklorical musical history is inspired in tales and their lifestyle. Agloolik Amaguq/Amarok Pinga Sedna Linnorm/Lindwor Qallupilluit m Traditional Music Traditional Inuit music, the music of the Inuit, has been based on drums used in dance music as far back as can be known, and a vocal style called katajjaq (Inuit throat singing) Vocal Games Katajjaq is a type of traditional competitive song, considered a game, usually held between two women. It is one of the world's few examples ofovertone singing. When competing, two women stand face-to-face and sing using a complex method of following each other. They repeat brief motifs at staggered intervals, often imitating natural sounds, like those of geese, caribou or other wildlife, until one runs out of breath, trips over her own tongue, or begins laughing, and the contest is then over. Vocal Games Instruments Percussion The main percussion instrument is the wooden frame drum called the qilaut. Other percussion instruments include smaller drums and rattles The Jew's harp has also been introduced to the Inuit and are played by certain groups such as the Inuit in Eskimo Point (now Arviat) in Canada String instruments The tautirut is an Inuit bowed zither, similar to the Icelandic fiðla.The kelutviaq is a one-string fiddle or lute played by the Yup'ik of Nelson Island and southwest Alaska Inuit Clothing Icelandic Clothing THE END.

  • Examining Precontact Inuit Gender Complexity and Its
    EXAMINING PRECONTACT INUIT GENDER COMPLEXITY AND ITS DISCURSIVE POTENTIAL FOR LGBTQ2S+ AND DECOLONIZATION MOVEMENTS by Meghan Walley B.A. McGill University, 2014 A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Archaeology Memorial University of Newfoundland May 2018 St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador 0 ABSTRACT Anthropological literature and oral testimony assert that Inuit gender did not traditionally fit within a binary framework. Men’s and women’s social roles were not wholly determined by their bodies, there were mediatory roles between masculine and feminine identities, and role-swapping was—and continues to be—widespread. However, archaeologists have largely neglected Inuit gender diversity as an area of research. This thesis has two primary objectives: 1) to explore the potential impacts of presenting queer narratives of the Inuit past through a series of interviews that were conducted with Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer/Questioning and Two-Spirit (LGBTQ2S+) Inuit and 2) to consider ways in which archaeological materials articulate with and convey a multiplicity of gender expressions specific to pre-contact Inuit identity. This work encourages archaeologists to look beyond categories that have been constructed and naturalized within white settler spheres, and to replace them with ontologically appropriate histories that incorporate a range of Inuit voices. I ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, qujannamiik/nakummek to all of the Inuit who participated in interviews, spoke to me about my work, and provided me with vital feedback. My research would be nothing without your input. I also wish to thank Safe Alliance for helping me identify interview participants, particularly Denise Cole, one of its founding members, who has provided me with invaluable insights, and who does remarkable work that will continue to motivate and inform my own.

    CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE CANADIAN MUSIC SINCE 1940: A QUESTION OF NATIONALISM A Thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music by Ronald Frederick Erin August, 1983 J:lhe Thesis of Ronald Frederick Erin is approved: California StD. te Universi tJr, Northridge ii PREFACE This thesis represents a survey of Canadian music since 1940 within the conceptual framework of 'nationalism'. By this selec- tive approach, it does not represent a conclusive view of Canadian music nor does this paper wish to ascribe national priorities more importance than is due. However, Canada has a unique relationship to the question of nationalism. All the arts, including music, have shared in the convolutions of national identity. The rela- tionship between music and nationalism takes on great significance in a country that has claimed cultural independence only in the last 40 years. Therefore, witnessed by Canadian critical res- ponse, the question of national identity in music has become an important factor. \ In utilizing a national focus, I have attempted to give a progressive, accumulative direction to the six chapters covered in this discussion. At the same time, I have attempted to make each chapter self-contained, in order to increase the paper's effective- ness as a reference tool. If the reader wishes to refer back to information on the CBC's CRI-SM record label or the Canadian League of Composers, this informati6n will be found in Chapter IV. Simi- larly, work employing Indian texts will be found in Chapter V. Therefore, a certain amount of redundancy is unavoidable when interconnecting various components.

Cahn, Ph.D. Abstract This study investigates the influences, both domestic and foreign, on the composition of Jón Nordal´s Piano Concerto of 1956. 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. Cahn at the University of Cincinnati College- Conservatory of Music for his kindness and patience in reading my thesis, and for his helpful comments and criticism.
