Wilhelm Peterson-Berger SWEDISH CHORAL SOCIETY Vol. 2 Sånger för blandad kör a cappella (komplett) Wilhelm Peterson-Berger Erik Westbergs Vokalensemble Musikhögskolans kammarkör i Piteå Erik Westbergs Vokalensemble (foto: Sebastian Lönberg) Musikhögskolans Kammarkör i Piteå (foto: Robin Cox) Om Swedish Choral Society Körsång är en folkrörelse. Det har sjungits i vårt land i generationer, och utomlands har vi gjort oss kända som en riktig körnation med stor bredd och hög kvalitet. Körer och ensembler sjunger i kyrkor och konserthus, på arbetsplatser och torg, i gallerior och på vårdinrättningar, i slott och koja... Man har uppskattat antalet svenskar som regelbundet sjunger i kör till en halv miljon människor. I Sveriges Körförbund finns blandade körer, damkörer och manskörer. Men de kan också delas in i ungdomskörer, vokalgrupper, kyrkokörer, kammarkörer, barbershopkörer, gospelkörer, sceniska körer och företagskörer – listan med nya körtyper växer ständigt! Sveriges Körförbunds historia går tillbaka till tiden kring förra sekelskiftet, då körsångare började organisera sig i regionala och rikstäckande organisationer. Manskörerna bildade redan 1909 Svenska Sångarförbundet och 1925 bildades Sveriges Körförbund av de blandade körerna. 1997 gick de båda förbunden samman. Bland förbundets främsta syften är att hävda körsångens musikaliska, kulturella och sociala betydelse. Ett unikt skivutgivningssamarbete har år 2009 inletts mellan Sveriges Körförbund och skivbolaget Naxos. Syftet med samarbetet är att dokumentera vårt svenska körliv i all dess bredd och mångfald och göra det tillgängligt för en större publik såväl i Sverige som utomlands. Under en tioårsperiod planeras en rad inspelningar som skall visa på de skiftande genrer och körtyper som finns representerade bland medlemmarna i Sveriges Körförbund. Serien – Swedish Choral Society – kommer att bestå av femtio körskivor. En så omfattande dokumentation av vårt nutida svenska körliv har aldrig tidigare gjorts! Utgivningen av denna CD har även möjliggjorts tack vare stöd från Stiftelsen Framtidens kultur, the Barbro Osher Pro Suecia Foundation samt Sommarhagens vänner. 2 Erik Westberg (foto: Katherine Hjukström) Nacional de España and Coro Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo, Brasilien.

Choirs and vocal ensembles can be heard in churches and concert halls, in workplaces and newspaper in 1997. In 1999 he was voted Choral Conductor of the Year at KÖRSAM and he received on public squares, in shopping malls and hospitals, in castles and cottages.

Order of the Seraphim. He has been Professor of Choral Conducting at the School of Music in Piteå since 2003. Erik Westberg is since 2008 a member of Royal Swedish Academy of Music. Sveriges Körförbund (The Swedish Choral Association) is an organization of mixed choirs, female choirs and male choirs. Theses, in turn, can be further divided into youth choirs, vocal groups, church choirs, chamber choirs, barber shop choirs, gospel choirs, operatic choirs and corporate choirs. The list of new types of choir is constantly growing! The history of the society goes back to the end of the 19th century when choral singers began to organize themselves into regional and national associations. The men’s choirs formed their own society – Svenska Sångarförbundet – in 1909 and the mixed choirs formed Sveriges Körförbund in 1925. In 1997 the two societies amalgamated. Among the principle aims of the society is that of promoting the musical, cultural and social significance of choral singing. A unique recording collaboration has in 2009 been introduced between Sveriges Körförbund and Naxos. The aim of this collaboration is to document the activities of Swedish choirs in all their breadth and diversity and to make this documentation available in Sweden and the rest of the world. A succession of recordings are planned over a ten-year period that will illustrate the many different genres and types of choirs represented by the members of the association. The series – Swedish Choral Society – is planned to comprise fifty discs of choral music.This is a very much more extensive documentation of contemporary Swedish choral singing than has ever been attempted before. This CD has been made with grants from Stiftelsen Framtidens kultur, the Barbro Osher Pro Suecia Foundation and the Wilhelm Peterson-Berger Institute. 26 3 CD 1 (Erik Westbergs Vokalensemble) The Erik Westberg Vocal Ensemble 1 Tonernes flugt [Fleeting tones] ............................................................................................. 0’57 The Erik Westberg Vocal Ensemble was founded in 1993 and consists of 16 singers from the Musik: Halfdan Kjerulf (1815-1868) northern provinces of Sweden.

Th e solidi were acquired in the late nineteenth century by the co-founding president of the Swedish Numismatic Society, August Wilhelm Stiernstedt. After his death, the solidi along with 2,434 other coins were published as a coherent assembly, the Stiernstedt Ancient Coin Collection (Heilborn 1882). Th e entire collec- tion was acquired at a sale from the Bukowski auction house in Stockholm by the Swedish-Texan antebellum cattle baron and gilded age banker Swante Magnus Swenson the same year. Together with many other coins and various prehistoric objects acquired in Sweden, the Stiernstedt Ancient Coin Collec- tion was donated by Swenson in 1891 to the State of Texas under the name of the Swenson Collection.

Over the last 100 years in Sweden, John Bauer’s fairy tale illustrations have maintained a strong grip on that nation’s popular imaginary through over thirty reprint editions, museum exhibits, stamp collections, and, of course, stylistic imitations. While their century-old narrative contexts remain relatively unknown and uninteresting to contemporary audiences, his beautifully blonde children, enchantingly ugly trolls, and stark, Swedish landscapes continue to be bought, sold, and validated as embodying a typically Swedish relationship to nature.

This is not to say that I am suddenly a believer in the inherent agency of things, rather that the book before you is special to me because it represents a crucial phase of my life. Many people have contrib- uted to making these years exciting and challenging. After all – as I continu- ously emphasize over the next 350 pages – archaeological knowledge pro- duction is a collective affair. My first heartfelt thanks go to my supervisor Anders Andrén whose profound knowledge of cultural history and excellent creative ability to connect the dots has guided me through this process. Thank you, Anders, for letting me explore and for showing me the path when I got lost. My next thanks go to my second supervisor Arto Penttinen who encouraged me to pursue a Ph.D. and who has graciously shared his knowledge and experiences from the winding roads of classical archaeology. Thank you, Arto, for believing in me and for critically reviewing my work.

  • The Power of Character
    THE POWER OF CHARACTER THE POWER OF CHARACTER: MIDDLE-CLASS MASCULINITIES, 1800–1900 David Tjeder Akademisk avhandling som för avläggande av filosofie doktorsexamen vid Stockholms universitet, offentligen försvaras i G-salen, Biologihuset, Frescati, fredagen den 9 maj 2003, klockan 10.00. ABSTRACT Tjeder, David, The power of character: Middle-class masculinities, 1800–1900. 320 pp. Department of History, Stock- holm University. Stockholm. ISBN 91–7265–633–6. This is a study of continuity and change in middle-class conceptions of ideal manhood. My theoretical cues are the notions of the male as an unproblematised and genderless norm, masculinity as homosocial, and George L. Mosse’s use of countertypes. Notions of passions, youth, and character were important throughout the century. If young men could learn to master the dangerous passions especially in the precarious period of youth, they would develop character. If men instead gave in to the passions, they would fall and become countertypes. Meanwhile, young men lived according to another notion, that young men should have their fling. The meaning of manhood also changed over time. In the decades around 1800, manhood meant to lead a life which would be beneficial to society as a whole. Another ideal, that of the man of the world, was founded on urbane manners as a tactic to further one’s career. By mid-century, the ideal of the self-made man came to the fore. The homosocial world of business was now seen as a good way to mould manly characters. In the last decades of the century, moralists criticized the sexual double standard and male sexuality.

  • Download His Report from the Project (PDF)
    Lars Vipsjö Rapport DIGITAL SITE-SPECIFIC NARRATION ALCHEMY OR TOOL? Lars Vipsjö Lars Vipsjö Abstract This report is based on the site-specific art that developed during the latter part of the 20th century, by practitioners who wanted a more engaging dialogue between works and viewers. The strategies led many artists to move from galleries and art galleries to landscape and urban environments. A concept for the works that the movement from the galleries led to is Land Art. The Creative Europe-funded project Off Season Art Gardening (OSAG) is based on this movement. The project carries out activities in the form of workshops and lectures and creates artistic installations in the public space, adjacent to three rural towns, in the Netherlands, Sweden and Lithuania. My contribution to the project has partly been to place OSAG in an art and visual science context, and partly to relate the work carried out within the project Kulturarv och Spelteknologi i Skaraborg (KASTiS) - Cultural Heritage and Game Technology in Skaraborg, to the same context. Within KASTiS is the demonstrator Kiras and Luppe's Bestiarium – KLUB. KLUB is a transmedial children's book project that is used to build a contextualising narrative platform for otherwise disparate cultural heritage sites and objects within a large sub-region via fictional characters. The intangible cultural heritage from the area is also part of the project. The report concludes with a recommendation to actors in digital site-specific storytelling, which is partly based on the artist Robert Smithson's thoughts on a dialectic between his works of art displayed inside galleries (Nonsites) and the works created in the landscape (Sites).

  • By Victor Nilsson
    SWEDEN BY VICTOR NILSSON HISTORY OF SWEDEN CHAPTER I Sweden in Prehistoric and Early Historic Times—Archæological Finds and Classical Testimony The Swedes, although the oldest and most unmixed race in Europe, realized very late the necessity of writing chronicles or reviews of historic events. Thus the names of heroes and kings of the remotest past are helplessly forgotten, and lost also the history of its earliest religion and institutions. But Mother Earth has carefully preserved most of what has been deposited in her bosom, and has repaid diligent research with trustworthy and irrefutable accounts of the age and various degrees of civilization of the race which inhabited Sweden in prehistoric times. Thus it has been proved that Sweden, like most other countries, has had a Stone Age, a Bronze Age, and an Iron Age. But there is absolutely no evidence to prove the now antiquated theories of various immigrations into Sweden by different races on different stages of civilization. On the contrary, the graves from the remotest times, through all successive periods, prove by the form of the skulls of those buried in them that Sweden has, through all ages, been inhabited by the same dolichocephalic, or long-headed, race which constitutes the overwhelming majority of her people to-day. Sweden, physically considered, is not of as high antiquity as some countries of Europe. Yet it has been inhabited during the last four thousand years, at least. In the quaternary period the Scandinavian peninsula was a centre of a glacial movement which spread its disastrous influences over Western Russia, Northern Germany and Holland.

Through their re-writing of supernatural stories from oral tradition, these authors articulate queer imaginaries that envision alternative configurations of identity and desire, in which eroticism expands beyond a binary framework, and in which equality is established between humans and nature.
