  • 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 Unpublished.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.

  • 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.

  • Svensk Folkmusik Som Samtidskulturell Uttrycksform. En Diskussion Om Stilbegreppets Användning Och Innebörd
    Svensk folkmusik som samtidskulturell uttrycksform. En diskussion om stilbegreppets användning och innebörd. Mats Johansson Artikel i Norsk Folkemusikklags skrift 2004 Inledning Hösten 2001 avslutade jag min hovedfagsavhandling i etnomusikologi vid UiB. Jag hade då lämnat mitt bidrag till nordisk folkmusikforskning, ett fält som huvudsakligen präglats av texter och diskussioner som behandlar folkmusik ur ett historiskt perspektiv. Min uppsats har svensk folkmusik som tema och här kan man konstatera att förhållandevis få har behandlat genren som samtidskulturell praxis, som meningsskapande aktivitet som sker här och nu, med utgångspunkt i hur samtidens folkmusikutövare och publik definierar, upplever och praktiserar sin musik. Det sammanhang som har angett de övergripande premisserna för mitt arbete är en samtidskulturell verklighet där svensk folkmusik successivt har etablerats som en levande, dynamisk uttrycksform innanför ett mer omfattande system av genre- och stildistinktioner. Min empiriska fokus är hur ideal, föreställningar och musikalisk praxis artikuleras hos de dagens "spelmän" som mest aktivt både formar och formas innanför detta sammanhang 1. Avsikten med de intervjuer jag har gjort har på denna bakgrund varit att skaffa mig ett empiriskt grundlag för att föra ett resonemang där ambitionen är att delta i en akademisk diskurs som förhandlar om förutsättningarna för att förstå och diskutera svensk folkmusik som samtidskulturell uttrycksform. Parallellt med att jag tolkar och försöker komma till insikt i centrala aspekter vid mina informanters stilförståelse försöker jag föra en diskussion runt teoretiska och metodiska implikationer för det vetenskapliga studiet av musik generellt och stilbeskrivningar speciellt. Olika uttalade föreställningar och orienteringspunkter hos mina informanter har bildat en utgångspunkt för tolkning och beskrivning av en process, genom vilken olika collage av uttryckselement och referenser/attityder kanoniseras, m.a.o.
