  • 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.

  • The Dissemination of the Nyckelharpa
    The Dissemination of the Nyckelharpa The Ethnic and the non-Ethnic Ways Gunnar Ternhag & Mathias Boström, Dalarnas Forskningsråd, Falun, Sweden The Ethnic and the non-ethnic Many traditional instruments are strongly linked to ethnic concepts. These connotations are often well known to musicians and listeners both inside and outside ethnic communities, although they are valued and interpreted differently. Some instruments are regarded as typical of certain cultures; you could even call them emblematic. This is evident when it comes to national cultures. The Finnish kantele and the Norwegian hardanger fiddle are typical examples of this (cf. Torp 1998). Other instruments have ethnic connotations without being symbols for specific cultures. The djembe drum, for instance, is mostly considered as simply “African” in the Western world. These and many similar instruments are more or less accessible to everyone today. The same goes for music and playing styles. Record stores, festivals, workshops and the Internet can easily provide everyone interested with inspiring products. A musician who wants to pick up a traditional musical instrument from a different culture than his or her own has to choose. He or she may try to learn the original music and playing style associated with the instrument; the so-called “tradition.” We will call this the ethnic way of approaching the instrument. The beginner wants to learn the instrument and its music in the same way as if he or she were living in the original community of the instrument. In this way many musicians in Sweden and other similar countries have learned how to play high- land-pipes or bouzouki—and have become Scots or Greeks in their musicianship.

    NORTHERN DANCES: FOLK MUSIC FROM SCANDINAVIA AND ESTONIA Gunnar Idenstam You are now entering our world of epic folk music from around the Baltic Sea, played on a large church organ and the nyckelharpa, the keyed Swedish fiddle, in a recording made in tribute to the new organ in the Domkirke (Cathedral) in Kristiansand in Norway. The organ was constructed in 2013 by the German company Klais, which has created an impressive and colourful instrument with a large palette of different sounds, from the most delicate and poetic to the most majestic and festive – a palette that adds space, character, volume and atmosphere to the original folk tunes. The nyckelharpa, a traditional folk instrument, has its origins in the sixteenth century, and its fragile, Baroque-like sound is happily embraced by the delicate solo stops – for example, the ‘woodwind’, or the bells, of the organ – or it can be carried, like an eagle flying over a majestic landscape, with deep forests and high mountains, by a powerful northern wind. The realm of folk dance is a fascinating soundscape of irregular pulse, ostinato- like melodic figures and improvised sections. The melodic and rhythmic variations they show are equally rich, both in the musical tradition itself and in the traditions of the hundreds of different types of dances that make it up. We have chosen folk tunes that are, in a more profound sense, majestic, epic, sacred, elegant, wild, delightful or meditative. The arrangements are not written down, but are more or less improvised, according to these characters. Gunnar Idenstam/Erik Rydvall 1 Northern Dances This is music created in the moment, introducing the mighty bells of the organ.

  • Dance in Copenhagen, C. 1750-1840
    Dance in Copenhagen Dance in Copenhagen, c. 1750-1840 By Henning Urup The subject of this article is dance forms in Denmark, and especially in Copenhagen, in the period c. 1750-1840. The account is based on the preseryed source material, and this involves an important methodological problem. Dance is a transitory phenomenon in the form of motion in the present. The written sources are descriptions of something seen and experienced, or instructions on how the dance/music is to be executed. It has always been diffiCldt to write dan ces down, and for that reason many dan ces have never been recorded on paper. In the European musical tradition, the notation of mus ic plays a central role, and the concept ofthe work is ofte n tied to the notation. By analog)' with this, incomplete or inadequate dance notation poses a problem. Musical notation gives us information about pitch and durations as well as dynamics and phrasing. The notation of dance requires similar infor­ mation, but also indications of body movemen ts, orien tations of arms and legs and progressions of movement through space. Dance notation therefore becomes complicated, and the various systems of notation are usually associated with specific dance forms and styles where. because of certain shared assumptions, one does not need to write down too much. Elements that are self-evident in the tra­ dition in question are usually omitted. Many important details have thus never been written down, and this poses an important problem for later researchers. The relationship of the author to dance and music is of great importance in interpreting the source material.

Här är musiken som jag brinner för, en brokig skara låtar där traditionella svenska polskor möter nykomponerad musik inspirerad av andra länders folk- musik, och av pop, rock och kammarmusik. Jag spelar och sjunger solo eller tillsammans med goda vänner från både folkmusik och klassiskt. Som 10-åring förälskade jag mig i nyckelharpan vid första ögonkastet! Barndomens direkta glädje av instrument och melodier övergick efterhand i ett växande intresse för folkmusiken som genre. Jag mötte musik och människor från hela världen, och för mig var det liksom samma språk vi alla talade, ett språk där kopplingen mellan musik och dans är direkt och självklar.

  • Folk Music 1 Folk Music
    Folk music 1 Folk music Folk music Béla Bartók recording Slovak peasant singers in 1908 Traditions List of folk music traditions Musicians List of folk musicians Instruments Folk instruments Folk music is an English term encompassing both traditional folk music and contemporary folk music. The term originated in the 19th century. Traditional folk music has been defined in several ways: as music transmitted by mouth, as music of the lower classes, and as music with unknown composers. It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles. This music is also referred to as traditional music and, in US, as "roots music". Starting in the mid-20th century a new form of popular folk music evolved from traditional folk music. This process and period is called the (second) folk revival and reached a zenith in the 1960s. The most common name for this new form of music is also "folk music", but is often called "contemporary folk music" or "folk revival music" to make the distinction.[1] This type of folk music also includes fusion genres such as folk rock, electric folk, and others. While contemporary folk music is a genre generally distinct from traditional folk music, it often shares the same English name, performers and venues as traditional folk music; even individual songs may be a blend of the two. Traditional folk music Definitions A consistent definition of traditional folk music is elusive. The terms folk music, folk song, and folk dance are comparatively recent expressions.
