  • Grieg & Musical Life in England
    Grieg & Musical Life in England LIONEL CARLEY There were, I would prop ose, four cornerstones in Grieg's relationship with English musicallife. The first had been laid long before his work had become familiar to English audiences, and the last was only set in place shortly before his death. My cornerstones are a metaphor for four very diverse and, you might well say, ve ry un-English people: a Bohemian viol­ inist, a Russian violinist, a composer of German parentage, and an Australian pianist. Were we to take a snapshot of May 1906, when Grieg was last in England, we would find Wilma Neruda, Adolf Brodsky and Percy Grainger all established as significant figures in English musicallife. Frederick Delius, on the other hand, the only one of thi s foursome who had actually been born in England, had long since left the country. These, then, were the four major musical personalities, each having his or her individual and intimate connexion with England, with whom Grieg established lasting friendships. There were, of course, others who com­ prised - if I may continue and then finally lay to rest my architectural metaphor - major building blocks in the Grieg/England edifice. But this secondary group, people like Francesco Berger, George Augener, Stop­ ford Augustus Brooke, for all their undoubted human charms, were firs t and foremost representatives of British institutions which in their own turn played an important role in Grieg's life: the musical establishment, publishing, and, perhaps unexpectedly religion. Francesco Berger (1834-1933) was Secretary of the Philharmonic Soci­ ety between 1884 and 1911, and it was the Philharmonic that had first prevailed upon the mature Grieg to come to London - in May 1888 - and to perform some of his own works in the capital.

  • Peer Gynt: Suite No. 1 Instrumentation: Piccolo, 2 Flutes, 2 Oboes, 2
    Peer Gynt: Suite No. 1 Instrumentation: piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, strings. Duration: 15 minutes in four movements. THE COMPOSER – EDVARD GRIEG (1843-1907) – Grieg spent much of the 1870s collaborating with famous countrymen authors. With Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, the composer had hoped to mount a grand operatic history of King Olav Tryggvason but the two artists soon ran afoul of one another. A possible contributing factor was Grieg’s moonlighting project with Henrik Ibsen but, in truth, Bjørnson and the composer had been nursing hurt feelings for a while by the time the latter began to stray. THE MUSIC – As it turned out, Grieg’s back-up plan was more challenging than rewarding at first. He was to compose incidental music that expanded and stitched together the sections of Ibsen’s epic poem. This he did with delight, but soon found the restrictions of the theatrical setting more a burden than a help creatively. “In no case,” he claimed, “had I opportunity to write as I wanted” but the 1876 premiere was a huge success regardless. Grieg seized the chance to re-work some of the music and add new segments during the 1885 revival and did the same in 1902. The two suites he published in 1888 and 1893 likely represent his most ardent hopes for his part of the project and stand today as some of his most potently memorable work. Ibsen’s play depicted the globetrotting rise and fall of a highly symbolic Norwegian anti-hero and, in spite of all the aforementioned struggles, the author could not have chosen a better partner than Grieg to enhance the words with sound.

  • Alkymisten En Studie Av Åge Aleksandersens Musikk
    Emnekode: MUS5013 Navn: Fanny Louise Wullum Fahsing Alkymisten En studie av Åge Aleksandersens musikk Dato: 21.mai 2019 Totalt antall sider: 91 Alkymisten En studie av Åge Aleksandersens musikk Fanny Louise Wullum Fahsing Mastergradsoppgave i musikkvitenskap, Fakultet for lærerutdanning, kunst og kulturfag NORD UNIVERSITET LEVANGER 21.05. 2019 Sammendrag Hensikten med å skrive denne oppgaven ikke vært å skrive en ny biografi om Åge, men å prøve å få et innblikk i hvordan Aleksandersen jobber når han skriver musikk, hva det er som inspirerer han til å skrive, og hvordan han jobber sammen med musikerne sine for å utvikle ideer han har til ferdige sanger. Tittelen på oppgaven; Alkymisten, har jeg valgt fordi det er en selvbiografisk sang, der Åge beskriver sin karriere med sine oppturer og nedturer. I første del av oppgaven har jeg skrevet om populærmusikk som kategori, om «trønderrock» som begrep og som identitet for musikere fra Namdalsregionen, samt om musikkproduksjon som fagfelt. Jeg har også skrevet om valg av metode og valg av kilder. I andre del av oppgaven gjennomgår jeg Åge Aleksandersens karriere gjennom en beskrivelse av barndom og oppvekst i Namsos, hans «læretid» i Prudence, og deretter kommer en historisk oppsummering hans solokarriere. I tredje del kommer jeg inn på Åges rolle som låtskriver og produsent, blant annet sett i forhold til hvordan fonogrambransjen har operert de siste årene, samt hvordan Åges musikalske praksis i studio arter seg. Jeg sier også noe om musikere han har samarbeidet med; spesielt om musikere med folkemusikalsk bakgrunn. I fjerde del sier jeg noe om hvordan Åge og Sambandet jobber sammen i dag, før jeg avrunder med å si noe om perspektivene Åge har på hvordan han kommer til å jobbe med musikk i fremtiden.

  • Christianialiv
    Christianialiv Works from Norway’s Golden Age of wind music Christianialiv The Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces The second half of the 19th century is often called the “Golden Age” of Norwegian music. The reason lies partly in the international reputations established by Johan Svendsen and Edvard Grieg, but it also lies in the fact that musical life in Norway, at a time of population growth and economic expansion, enjoyed a period of huge vitality and creativity, responding to a growing demand for music in every genre. The Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces (to use its modern name) played a key role in this burgeoning musical life not just by performing music for all sections of society, but also by discovering and fostering musical talent in performers and composers. Johan Svendsen, Adolf Hansen, Ole Olsen and Alfred Evensen, whose music we hear on this album, can therefore be called part of the band’s history. Siste del av 1800-tallet er ofte blitt kalt «gullalderen» i norsk musikk. Det skyldes ikke bare Svendsens og Griegs internasjonale posisjon, men også det faktum at musikklivet i takt med befolkningsøkning og økonomiske oppgangstider gikk inn i en glansperiode med et sterkt behov for musikk i alle sjangre. I denne utviklingen spilte Forsvarets stabsmusikkorps en sentral rolle, ikke bare som formidler av musikkopplevelser til alle lag av befolkningen, men også som talentskole for utøvere og komponister. Johan Svendsen, Adolf Hansen, Ole Olsen og Alfred Evensen er derfor en del av korpsets egen musikkhistorie.

  • The Torpedo Under the Ark : "Ibsen and Women"
    / The Torpedo under the Ark "Ibsen and Women" by- Ellen Key Authorized translation from the Swedish by MamahBoutonBorthwick The Ralph Fletcher Seymour Co. FINE ARTS BUILDING, CHICAGO Copyrighted 1912 by The Ralph Fletcher Seymour Co. THE TORPEDO UNDER THE ARK "IBSEN AND WOMEN" By Ellen Key. “To My Friend the Revolutionist.” “To shift the chessmen is no affair of mine. To upset the chess-board—there you have me absolutely.You invoke a deluge to sweep the world. With joy I lay my torpedo under the ark.” Henrik Ibsen— In my eighteenth year, my mother made me happy with three books. Up¬ on the covers I read: “The Comedy of Love.” “Brand.” “Peer Gynt.” I knew that Ibsen was a new Nor¬ wegian poet but my knowledge, like 3 THE TORPEDO UNDER THE ARK that of most Swedish readers in 1868, was limited to that fact. It was then with the real joy of a discoverer that I buried myself in the new world of poetry and ideas which “Brand” and “Peer Gynt” revealed to me. In the “Comedy of Love,” however, I found myself in the sphere of my own dearest thoughts. That is to say, five years before,“The Bailiff’s Daughter” had become one of my devotional books. It is in this splendid work of Camilla Collett*, that Ibsen, according to his own testimony, found part of the metal which he after¬ ward, in “The Comedy of Love,” formed into piercing arrows and sing¬ ing strains. The delight with which I read and re-read “The Comedy of Love,” may best be depicted if I men¬ tion that—when immediately afterwards *The first great Norwegian feminist and sister of Henrik Wegeland, the great poet of Norway, in the years 1830-40.

  • Scene for Folkemusikk & Folkedans
    BARNEFORESTILLINGER KONSERTER 2015 SESONGPROGRAM HØST o N 10 SCHOUS KULTURBRYGGERI FORESTILLINGER & DANS SCENE FOR FOLKEMUSIKK & FOLKEDANS Følg oss på Facebook www.riksscenen.no Velkommen til ny sesong! Riksscenen fyller 5 år i høst. Det markerer vi med vår hittil største enkeltsatsing – en splitter ny juleforestilling som vi har døpt ”Pøbel i pels”. En annerledes, urban julefortelling der skilsmissegutten Thomas (Eirik Risholm Velle) må ta seg gjennom byen fordi han vil feire julen med pappa. Med seg på veien får han følge av en ganske rampete bakgårdskatt (Silje Onstad Hålien), og som seg hør og bør skjer det mye underveis. Vi har fått med oss et knippe flotte kunstnere i dette prosjektet. Dansekompaniet Villniss er medprodusent, Jesper Halle har skrevet manus, Andreas Ljones er musikkansvarlig og Odd Nordstoga skal snekre sammen et par gode melodier. Lars Vik fra Grenland friteater har regi, og teateret er også samarbeidspart. Vi skal ikke tøffe oss like mye som katta og si at vi akter å slå besøkstallene til Putti Putti Plot i første omgang, men vår intensjon er at Pøbel i pels skal vises årlig. Så forhåpentligvis liker dere forestillingen så godt at dere gjør den til en juletradisjon for hele familien. Men vi har ytterligere 62 konserter/forestillinger å by på. Ikke mindre enn fem danseforestillinger der særlig Hallgrim Hansegård står i sentrum som månedens artist i oktober med bl.a. Leahkit og GotoGuta. Vi får endelig besøk av Elle Sofe Henriksen med hennes forestilling Jorggáhallan, og Ola Stinnerbom kommer med Man must dance. Sammen med Coda festivalen og kunstnerisk leder Patrick Shaw Iversen står vi også bak nyproduksjonen Migrations North East der indonesiske dansere og gamelanmusikere møter norske jazzutøvere med Nils Petter Molvær i spissen.

  • A Century of Ibsen
    ; A CENTURY OF IBSEN BY HENRY CHARLES SUTER OXR liundred years ago, there was born in a Norwegian town an "infant crying in the night" who grew to be a writer, but not one "with no language but a cry." For it has been well cited that Henrik Ibsen became the apostle of those who insist on self- realization and self-expression. In those days Ibsen sensed a devo- tion to formulas that fostered the use of fantastic phrases that possessed little positive potency. Crowd psychology took the place of individual thinking, and concerted action was more active than careful deliberation. Echoes multiplied by artifice were glorified as public opinion mathematical arrangements of votes contrived in consequence, a mechanical conception of society; and ultimately humanitarianism displaced humanism. Ibsen pilloried all this and made his appeal to those who were willing to pay the price of straight thinking. Ibsen owed little to life's circumstances of lowliness, since his father became insolvent ere he reached the age of eight. So his \outh was spent in studying poetry to relieve the monotony of ap- prenticeship to an apothecary. In his twenties he was aiding the management of the theater of Bergen, his home town, but the chief outcome was that comradery critics caused him to witness drama in larger cities. Before he had seen one play produced, he had written several himself, although these are not found among those preserved for us. The wretched attic in the JVild Duck was con- jured up in his memory from childhood; when nearly forty he was often unable to buy stamps to dispatch his manuscripts ; and even at successful maturity, a "poet's pension" arrived changing neerl into frugal comfort.
