  • 1 Træk Af Historien Om Hornbæk Egnen Og Grundejerforeningen
    1 Træk af historien om Hornbæk egnen og Grundejerforeningen Sandager Af Niels Høiby, formand for Grundejerforeningen Sandager Hornbæk er oprindelig en fiskerby grundlagt i 1497 og fejrede sin 500 års fødselsdag i 1997. Navnet Hornbæk optræder første gang i et kongebrev i 1173 som Hornisbech, som benævnelse for bækken og i 1497 som en samlet bebyggelse i Esrum Klosters Brevbog (Codex Esromensis) og skatteliste, hvor cisterciensermunkene fastsatte fæsteafgift for Olaf Bendtsen til en tønde fisk. Klosteret var landsdelens største godsejer og dets ejendomme blev drevet af fæstere, der ved forskellige ydelser betalte deres fæsteafgifter (landgilde). I 1774 strandede det engelske skib ’Nelly & Isabell’ i bugten ved Villingebæk , flere sømænd druknede, men skipperen blev reddet i land af Hornbæks fiskere. Det inspirerede Johannes Ewald til at skrive syngespillet ’Fiskerne’ som opførtes første gang i 1780 på Det Kongelige Teater og som foregår i Hornbæk. En af fiskerne synger ’Kong Christian stod ved højen Mast’ og det blev Danmarks kongesang i 1906. Mindeankeret i Hornbæk over redningsdåden blev afsløret i 1930. I 1808 besøgte kong Frederik VI Hornbæk og året efter navngaves et kirkeskib ’Frederik VI’ og ophængtes i kirken, de tre andre kirkeskibe stammer fra den danske kaperkrig mod England 1807-14. I 1835 grundstødte hornbækfiskeren Ole Jydes skib Bente Marie af Hornbæk under et voldsomt uvejr om vinteren ved Grenå og han blev reddet af bonden Søren Kanne, som red ud til ham i vandet på sine to heste. Redningsdåden fik digterpræsten St. St. Blicher til at skrive et digt om Søren Kannes dåd og i Hornbæk kirke hænger et lille kobberrelief af billedhuggeren Erstad, der viser redningsmanden på vej ud til vraget.

    Kulturmiljøer ( For Aalborg Kommune ) Indhold Indhold og forord ........................................................................................ Aalborg Kommune.....................................................................................24 Øvrige kulturmiljøer .............................................................................. 228 4 Et kulturmiljø er et geografisk afgrænset Forord område, som ved sin fremtræden afspej- ler væsentlige træk af den samfunds- mæssige udvikling. Det landskab, som istiden efterlod, er gennem mange tusinde år blevet bearbejdet og formet af mennesker. Der er etableret boplad- ser og gravhøje, anlagt veje, stier og jernbaner, bygget kirker, fa- brikker, huse og sommerhuse, fældet skove og plantet nye, dyrket jord, formet skel, plantet hegn, anlagt diger, bygget havne m.m. Det landskab er det, vi i dag kalder det danske kulturlandskab. Kulturlandskabet undergår konstante forandringer i takt med, at samfundet forandrer sig, og derfor føjes der hele tiden nye lag til landskabet, mens andre udviskes. Med andre ord afsætter udviklin- gen spor i landskabet. Den, der kan læse sporene, kan læse om vo- res fælles fortid. Ældre tiders kulturspor giver en historisk oplevelse af og forståelse for tidligere tiders samfundsforhold og menneske- nes vilkår. Forhold, som kan være med til at sætte vores eget liv og livsvilkår i perspektiv. I Danmark har amterne haft en lang tradition for at beskytte natu- ren og miljøet. Der gøres en stor indsats for at nedbringe forurenin- gen og bevare et varieret dyre- og planteliv i naturen. I løbet af de seneste årtier er der desuden opstået en stadig øget interesse for at bevare de gamle kulturhistoriske spor, som mange steder er truet af den generelle samfundsudvikling. Denne interesse har bl.a. udmøn- tet sig i en øget arbejdsindsats fra de kulturhistoriske fagfolks side. Stat, amter, museer m.fl.

  • Nielsen's 'Saul and David' As Tragedy
    NIELSEN’S SAUL AND DAVID AS TRAGEDY: The Dialectics of Fate and Freedom in Drama and Music By Anne-Marie Reynolds In previous studies of Nielsen’s opera Saul and David, Einar Christiansen’s libretto has been compared to the biblical story, and the similarities and differences duly noted.1 Recently, Patrick McCreless made the tantalizing suggestion that, beyond the biblical narrative, Saul and David might constructively be viewed as a tragedy.2 Indeed, writ- ers have long identifi ed King Saul as ‘the most tragic character in the Old Testament records.’3 I decided to pick up the gauntlet, and in this essay, shall demonstrate that viewing Saul and David as a tragedy illuminates not only Christiansen’s take on Saul’s demise, but also Nielsen’s methods of underscoring it musically. Tragedy I began by researching the biblical story4 and compiling the following list of six basic criteria for tragedy, loosely based on Aristotle’s defi nition and stages of tragedy, as 1 These include Jürgen Balzer, ‘The Dramatic Music,’ in Jürgen Balzer (ed.), Carl Nielsen Centenary Essays, Copenhagen 1965, 75-102; Noel Clegg, The Writing of Carl Nielsen’s Saul og David, 2 vols., Leeds: University of Leeds Master’s thesis, 1989); Karen Bernard, The Operas of Carl Nielsen: Saul og David (1992) and Mas- karade (1906), College Park: University of Maryland Ph.D. dissertation, 2001; Preface to Saul og David in Niels Bo Foltmann, Peter Hauge and Niels Krabbe (eds.), Carl Nielsen Works I/4, Copenhagen 2002, vii-xxx; and Pat McCreless, ‘Strange Bedfellows: The Hebrew Bible and Wagner, in Saul og David,’ in Carl Nielsen Studies 4 (2009), 107-144.

Meillä Nielsenin tuotannosta tunnetaan kuitenkin vain kuusi sinfoniaa, muu- tama orkesteriteos ( Helios -alkusoitto, Pan og Syrinx sekä huilu- ja klarinettikonsertot) ja ehkä oop- perat Saul og David ja Maskarade . Nielsenin laaja vokaalituotanto, kantaatit ja lukuisat näyttämö- musiikkiteokset ovat Tanskan ulkopuolella huonosti tunnettuja. Kirjaston luetteloijille tarkoitetun ohjeluettelon tarve ei ole ollut erityisen suuri, mutta koska Niel- senin tuotantoon liittyy erinäisiä kielellisiä erityiskysymyksiä ja eräiden sinfonioiden erisnimisyys on synnyttänyt epätietoisuutta, lienee tällekin luettelolle jonkinlainen tarve. Olen pitänyt teosauktoriteettina suhteellisen vanhaa Dan Fogin teosluetteloa*, jonka FS-numerointi on vakiintunut yleiseen käyttöön satunnaisten opusnumeroiden

Nineteenth-Century Emigration from S0ller0d, A Rural Township in North Zealand (Sjrelland) 1 by Niels Peter Stilling Translated from the Danish and edited by J. R. Christianson Introduction In 1985, Erik Helmer Pedersen wrote that "the history of Danish emigration to America can be seen, in very broad terms, as the story of how a small part of the population tore itself away from the national community in order to build a new existence in foreign lands. Those who write the history of the emigrants must, on the one hand, see them as a minority in relation to the Danish whole, and, on the other hand, must reconstruct that little part of the history of American immigration which concerns the Danes."2 This article attempts to do just that for emigration from the township of S0ller0d, north of Copenhagen.
