  • Tomas Löndahl
    Makten att begära och tvånget att försaka Tourettesyndromets betydelse för Ludvig Normans liv och verk Av Tomas Löndahl Inledning Ludvig Norman (1831–85) var en av portalfigurerna i sin tids svenska musikliv. Ändå är bilden av honom som person i många fall motsägelsefull och diffus. Det är lätt att rada upp hans storartade och (i ett längre perspektiv inte sällan) avgörande insatser som hovkapellmästare, konsertorganisatör, musiker, tonsättare, pedagog, akademile- damot (även preses KMA 1874–75), debattör, skribent och kritiker. Men det som frap- perade mig i de samtida skildringarna av honom var de till synes oförenliga ytterligheterna. Han framstår som radikal men konservativ, som dådkraftig men pas- siv, som stark men vek, som stridbar men feg, som livlig men loj, som suverän diri- gent men skygg för främmande människor. Även bortsett från att varje människa äger olika egenskaper och att de flesta under livets gång utvecklar sina skilda sidor i olika grad, fanns det i detta ”glapp” något för mig lockande att utforska1. Så – vem var han egentligen som människa? Vad finns kvar när man skalar bort den svassande retoriken i hyllnings- och minnestexter? Och hur framstår han i sina egna texter? Jag har i min forskning jagat källor samt analyserat och syntetiserat de samtida vittnesbörden – både hans egna och andras – och därigenom kommit fram till en delvis helt ny bild av Norman. Fram träder nu bilden av en genom sjukdom svårt plågad man. Frågan är om de nyvunna kunskaperna har något förklaringsvärde när det gäller hans eget skapande. Dvs., kan hans musik i något avseende ha påver- kats av sjukdomen? Låt oss undersöka det! 1.

  • Lineage Curated by Julia Bullock Soundbox
    LINEAGE CURATED BY JULIA BULLOCK SOUNDBOX 1 julia bullock on lineage “I’ve found that musicians often share a lot about the various influences in their lives— whether they be historical, political, philosophical, personal, or based on other mediums of art. They let diverse influences not only impact their work, but find ways to let them register explicitly. It’s like musicians are hyper conscious of their lineage—they honor it and value it. So, as I continue to follow along the path and legacy of artists that came before me, lineage has become increasingly important—it’s a part of knowing from where I originated and letting that inform where I envision myself going. The musicians on this SoundBox program could not make music all together in one place, or even at one time, but the very nature of this program—which links material that spans across almost 900 years—captures an audio and visual snapshot of how lineage can inform, influence, impact, and express itself in a musical context.” 2 Esa-Pekka Salonen SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY MUSIC DIRECTOR San Francisco Symphony Music Director Esa-Pekka Salonen has, through his many high-profile conducting roles and work as a leading composer, shaped a unique vision for the present and future of the contemporary symphony orchestra. Salonen is currently the Principal Conductor & Artistic Advisor for London’s Philharmonia Orchestra and is Artist in Association at the Finnish National Opera and Ballet. He is a member of the faculty of the Colburn School in Los Angeles, where he developed and directs the pre-professional Negaunee Conducting Program.

    110,2 THE JVEDIS. ART SONG THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State College in Partial ifillment of the requirements For the Degree of MAST ER OF MUSIC by 223569 Alfred R. Skoog, B. Mus. Borger, Texas August, 1953 223569 PREFACE The aim of this thesis is to present a survey of Swedish vocal music, a subject upon which nothing in English exists and very little in Swedish. Because of this lack of material the writer, who has spent a year (195152) of research in music in Sweden, through the generosity of Mrs. Alice M. Roberts, the Texas Wesleyan Academy, and the Texas Swedish Cultural Foundation, has been forced to rely for much of his information on oral communication from numerous critics, composers, and per- formers in and around Stockholm. This accounts for the paucity of bibliographical citations. Chief among the authorities consulted was Gsta Percy, Redaktionssekreterare (secretary to the editor), of Sohlmans Jusiklexikon, who gave unstintedly, not only of his vast knowledge, but of his patience and enthusiasm.

  • BEKANNTMACHUNG Die Preisträger Des Polar Music Prize
    BEKANNTMACHUNG Die Preisträger des Polar Music Prize 2014 sind: CHUCK BERRY UND PETER SELLARS Die Begründung für Chuck Berry Der Polarpreis 2014 wird Chuck Berry von St. Louis, USA, verliehen. An jenem Tag im Mai 1955, als Chuck Berry seine Debutsingel "Maybellene" einspielte, wurden die Parameter der Rockmusik definiert. Chuck Berry war der Pionier des Rock'n'Roll, der der E-Gitarre als Hauptinstrument der Rockmusik den Weg bereitete. Alle Riffs und Soli, die Rockgitarristen in den letzten 60 Jahren gespielt haben, enthalten DNA- Spuren, die sich auf Chuck Berry zurückführen lassen. The Rolling Stones, The Beatles und eine Million andere Bands haben ihr Handwerk erlernt, indem sie Stücke von Chuck Berry eingeübten. Daneben ist Chuck Berry ein meisterhafter Songwriter. In drei Minuten kann er Bilder aus dem Alltag eines Jugendlichen und dessen Träume skizzieren, nicht selten mit einem Auto im Zentrum. Chuck Berry, geboren 1926, war der erste, der auf den Highway hinausgefahren ist um zu verkünden: Wir alle sind "born to run". Preisbegründung für Peter Sellars: Der Polarpreis 2014 geht an Peter Sellars aus Pittsburgh, USA. Der Regisseur Peter Sellars ist das beste lebende Beispiel dafür, um was es beim Polarpreis geht: Musik sichtbar zu machen und sie in einem neuen Kontext zu präsentieren. Mit seinen kontroversen Inszenierungen von Opern und Theaterstücken hat Peter Sellars alles, von Krieg und Hunger bis hin zu Religion und Globalisierung, auf die Bühne gebracht. Sellars hat Mozart in den Luxus des Trump Tower und in den Drogenhandel von Spanish Harlem versetzt, eine Oper über Nixons Besuch in China inszeniert und Kafkas Sauberkeitswahn vertont.

  • PRESSRELEASE the Laureates of the Polar Music Prize 2013 Are
    PRESSRELEASE The Laureates of the Polar Music Prize 2013 are: YOUSSOU N’DOUR & KAIJA SAARIAHO Youssou N’Dour Citation: The Polar Music Prize 2013 is awarded to Youssou N’Dour from Senegal. A West African griot is not just a singer, but a storyteller, poet, singer of praise, entertainer and verbal historian. Youssou N’Dour is maintaining the griot tradition and has shown that it can also be changed into a narrative about the entire world. With his exceptionally exuberant band Super Étoile de Dakar (Dakar star) and his musically ground breaking and political solo albums, Youssou N’Dour has worked to reduce animosities between his own religion, Islam, and other religions. His voice encompasses an entire continent's history and future, blood and love, dreams and power. Kaija Saariaho Citation: The Polar Music Prize 2013 is awarded to Kaija Saariaho from Finland. After studying at IRCAM in Paris, an institution for research and study of electro-acoustic music, Kaija Saariaho has developed into a unique composer, a metal worker's daughter who re- examines what music can be. When she was growing up, the music that inspired her came not from the radio but from the pillow; that was where she found the music she dreamt of. Kaija Saariaho combines acoustic instruments with electronics and computers. She has written chamber music, orchestral works and operas. Kaija Saariaho is a modern maestro who opens up our ears and causes their anvils and stirrups to fall in love. On Tuesday 27th of August the Laureates will receive the prize from His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden at a gala ceremony at the Stockholm Concert Hall to be followed by a celebratory banquet at Grand Hôtel.
