  • 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 Unpublished.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.

  • Beethoven and Banjos - an Annual Musical Celebration for the UP
    Beethoven and Banjos - An Annual Musical Celebration for the UP Beethoven and Banjos 2018 festival is bringing Nordic folk music and some very unique instruments to the Finnish American Heritage Center in Hancock, Michigan. Along with the musicians from Decoda (Carnegie Hall’s resident chamber group) we are presenting Norwegian Hardanger fiddler Guro Kvifte Nesheim and Swedish Nyckelharpist Anna Gustavsson. Guro Kvifte Nesheim grew up in Oslo, Norway, and started playing the Hardanger fiddle when she was seven years old. She has learned to play the traditional music of Norway from many great Hardanger fiddle players and has received prizes for her playing in national competitions for folk music. In 2013 she began her folk music education in Sweden at the Academy of Music and Drama in Gothenburg. Guro is composing a lot of music, and has a great interest and love for the old music traditions of Norway and Sweden. In 2011 she went to the world music camp Ethno and was bit by the “Ethno-bug”. Since then she has attended many Ethno Camps as a participant and leader, and setup Ethno Norway with a team of fellow musicians. In spring 2015 she worked at the Opera House of Gothenburg with the dance piece “Shadowland”. The Hardanger fiddle is a traditional instrument from Norway. It is called the Hardanger Fiddle because the oldest known Hardanger Fiddle, made in 1651, was found in the area Hardanger. The instrument has beautiful decorations, traditional rose painting, mother-of-pearl inlays and often a lion’s head. The main characteristic of the Hardanger Fiddle is the sympathetic strings that makes the sound very special – it’s like an old version of a speaker that amplifies the sound.

  • Round Dances Scot Byars Started Dancing in 1965 in the San Francisco Bay Area
    Syllabus of Dance Descriptions STOCKTON FOLK DANCE CAMP – 2016 – FINAL 7/31/2016 In Memoriam Floyd Davis 1927 – 2016 Floyd Davis was born and raised in Modesto. He started dancing in the Modesto/Turlock area in 1947, became one of the teachers for the Modesto Folk Dancers in 1955, and was eventually awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award for dance by the Stanislaus Arts Council. Floyd loved to bake and was famous for his Chocolate Kahlua cake, which he made every year to auction off at the Stockton Folk Dance Camp Wednesday auction. Floyd was tireless in promoting folk dancing and usually danced three times a week – with the Del Valle Folk Dancers in Livermore, the Modesto Folk Dancers and the Village Dancers. In his last years, Alzheimer’s disease robbed him of his extensive knowledge and memory of hundreds, if not thousands, of folk dances. A celebration for his 89th birthday was held at the Carnegie Arts Center in Turlock on January 29 and was attended by many of his well-wishers from all over northern California. Although Floyd could not attend, a DVD was made of the event and he was able to view it and he enjoyed seeing familiar faces from his dancing days. He died less than a month later. Floyd missed attending Stockton Folk Dance Camp only once between 1970 and 2013. Sidney Messer 1926 – 2015 Sidney Messer died in November, 2015, at the age of 89. Many California folk dancers will remember his name because theny sent checks for their Federation membership to him for nine years.

  • 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.

  • Nordic Roots Dance Kari Tauring - 2014 "Dance Is a Feature of Every Significant Occasion and Event Crucial to Tribal Existence As Part of Ritual
    Nordic Roots Dance Kari Tauring - 2014 "Dance is a feature of every significant occasion and event crucial to tribal existence as part of ritual. The first thing to emphasize is that early dance exists as a ritual element. It does not stand alone as a separate activity or profession." Joan Cass, Dancing Through History, 1993 In 1989, I began to study runes, the ancient Germanic/Nordic alphabet system. I noticed that many rune symbols in the 24 Elder Futhark (100 ACE) letters can be made with one body alone or one body and a staff and some require two persons to create. I played with the combination of these things within the context of Martial Arts. In the Younger futhark (later Iron Age), these runes were either eliminated or changed to allow one body to create 16 as a full alphabet. In 2008 I was introduced to Hafskjold Stav (Norwegian Family Tradition), a Martial Arts based on these 16 Younger Futhark shapes, sounds and meanings. In 2006 I began to study Scandinavian dance whose concepts of stav, svikt, tyngde and kraft underpinned my work with rune in Martial Arts. In 2011/2012 I undertook a study with the aid of a Legacy and Heritage grant to find out how runes are created with the body/bodies in Norwegian folk dances along with Telemark tradition bearer, Carol Sersland. Through this collaboration I realized that some runes require a "birds eye view" of a group of dances to see how they express themselves. In my personal quest to find the most ancient dances within my Norwegian heritage, I made a visit to the RFF Center (Rådet for folkemusikk og folkedans) at the University in Trondheim (2011) meeting with head of the dance department Egil Bakka and Siri Mæland, and professional dancer and choreographer, Mads Bøhle.

  • On the Swedish Polska
    Translingual Discourse in Ethnomusicology 3 2017, 125-143. doi:10.17440/tde019 On the Swedish polska † ERNST KLEIN Originally published as “Om polskedanser". Svenska Kulturbilder, Ny följd, 1937, 269-288, Stockholm (reprint 1994). Draft translation: Esbjörn Wettermark, copy-editing: Jessica Sloan-Leitner. Translator’s note As a first translation of Ernst Klein’s pioneering work on the polska I hope that this text will lead to more international interest in the history of Scandinavian dance research and further investigations of Klein’s scholarship. In his article Klein uses a rather dated and colloquial Swedish and in my translation I have tried to strike a balance between preserving some of his stylistics and making the text easy to fol- low for a modern day reader. The original work was not intended to be used as a free standing journal article by itself but as an accompanying text for an exhibition on traditional dance. Taking this into account, I have added a few notes where the original text needed some further explanations. I have retained Swedish terminol- ogy in order for the reader to be able to find further text pertaining to areas of in- terest. E.W. *** In my ears, and those of my contemporaries, the term polska has a romantic over- tone. I doubt that I am alone in once having thought of polska as being a romantic or dialectal way of writing the more colloquial polka. Such a miscomprehension is understandable, but completely wrong, and most likely the meanings of the two words have little in common. The polka is a product of the early 19th century, whereas the origins of the polska can be traced at least another two hundred years † At the time of the author’s passing, on Walpurgis Night 1937, the manuscript of this es- say was found in the state that it has now been published.
