The top of the instrument is carved from one single piece of wood before being attached to the instrument body. The Hardingfele that Lynn donated to the SCC is exquisitely carved and decorated, and has a beautiful sound. One of Lynn’s wishes was that his donated instrument be played. It is currently in the hands of PLU Music Professor, Svend Rønning.

  • 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 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.

  • Le Traitement Médiatique Des Sports D'hiver : Approche Comparée France/Pays Scandinaves
    ÉCOLE DU JOURNALISME Mastère 2 Journalisme Sportif *** LE TRAITEMENT MÉDIATIQUE DES SPORTS D’HIVER : APPROCHE COMPARÉE FRANCE/PAYS SCANDINAVES Mémoire présenté et soutenu par M. Florian Burgaud *** Année universitaire 2019/2020 REMERCIEMENTS Je remercie chaleureusement Christophe Colette qui m’a aiguillé pendant mes recherches. Je remercie aussi toutes les personnes qui m’ont aidé, de près ou de loin, pour la rédaction de ce mémoire. Un immense merci aux journalistes et aux autres personnes qui ont accepté de répondre à mes questions, à mes interrogations sur le traitement médiatique des sports d’hiver en France et dans les pays scandinaves. Un grand merci, donc, à tous : Nils Christian Mangelrød, Marcus Lindqvist, Viljam Brodahl, Jean-Pierre Bidet, Marc Ventouillac, Franck Lacroix, Sverker Sörlin et Nicolas Mayer. Merci aussi à Arne Idland pour son aide sur le Blink Festival. Merci à tous pour la confiance que vous m’avez accordée. Merci, enfin, à l’École Du Journalisme de Nice de m’avoir permis d’écrire ce mémoire sur un sujet s’insérant parfaitement dans mon projet professionnel. 1 RÉSUMÉ Lors de chaque édition des Jeux olympiques d’hiver, les audiences mesurées par Médiamétrie sont incroyablement élevées – jusqu’à 16 millions de personnes en 1992 pour le programme court féminin de patinage artistique. En partant du constat que les Français aiment les sports d’hiver mais qu’ils sont quasiment invisibles dans le paysage médiatique, à part le biathlon depuis quelques années, nous avons réalisé une approche comparée avec le traitement que les médias scandinaves font des sports d’hiver. Là-bas, les fondeurs et les hockeyeurs, notamment, sont de véritables stars traquées par les journalistes et les sports blancs font la une des journaux toute l’année.

This tradition dates back to at least the mid-17th century, and has continued without interruption to the present day. Some of the physical features that distinguish the hardingfele from a violin are the shorter neck; deeply indented ƒ-holes; a thick, almost flat bridge; ornate decorations; and the presence of six to 10 strings.

  • Preserving Intangibility: W
    ICME papers 2003 Preserving intangibility: Who, What, Where? By Daniel Winfree Papuga [email protected] Paper presented at the conference Cultural Traditions in Danger of Disappearing in Contemporary Society - A Challenge for Museums Sibiu, Romania. September 26-30, 2003 Introduction A recent development in the study of culture has been a focus on Intangible cultural heritage. UNESCO has been among the major actors in this process. Such a focus could be seen as a natural development within UNESCO, since the organization had commissioned the report 'Our Creative diversity' in the early 90's which provided an expanded concept of culture (World Commission for Culture and Development 1995). UNESCO defines intangible heritage as "embracing all forms of traditional and popular or folk culture, i.e. collective works originating in a given community and based on tradition. They include oral traditions, customs, languages, music, dance, rituals, festivities..." 1 These traditions may be expressed either through forms of cultural expression, or as cultural spaces which bring together various cultural activities. (UNESCO. 2001) A focus on intangible cultural heritage must: "give precedence to ways of presenting traditional and popular cultures that emphasize the living or past aspects of those cultures (showing their surroundings, ways of life and the works, skills and techniques they have produced)" 2. In other words, such a focus is context oriented. UNESCO promotes a multicultural focus on preservation, both in regard for ethnicity, and for differences
