    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.

    EDVARD GRIEG: BETWEEN TWO WORLDS EDVARD GRIEG: BETWEEN TWO WORLDS By REBEKAH JORDAN A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Rebekah Jordan, April, 2003 MASTER OF ARTS (2003) 1vIc1vlaster University (1vIllSic <=riticisIll) HaIllilton, Ontario Title: Edvard Grieg: Between Two Worlds Author: Rebekah Jordan, B. 1vIus (EastIllan School of 1vIllSic) Sllpervisor: Dr. Hllgh Hartwell NUIllber of pages: v, 129 11 ABSTRACT Although Edvard Grieg is recognized primarily as a nationalist composer among a plethora of other nationalist composers, he is much more than that. While the inspiration for much of his music rests in the hills and fjords, the folk tales and legends, and the pastoral settings of his native Norway and his melodic lines and unique harmonies bring to the mind of the listener pictures of that land, to restrict Grieg's music to the realm of nationalism requires one to ignore its international character. In tracing the various transitions in the development of Grieg's compositional style, one can discern the influences of his early training in Bergen, his four years at the Leipzig Conservatory, and his friendship with Norwegian nationalists - all intricately blended with his own harmonic inventiveness -- to produce music which is uniquely Griegian. Though his music and his performances were received with acclaim in the major concert venues of Europe, Grieg continued to pursue international recognition to repudiate the criticism that he was only a composer of Norwegian music. In conclusion, this thesis demonstrates that the international influence of this so-called Norwegian maestro had a profound influence on many other composers and was instrumental in the development of Impressionist harmonies.

    Vadim Repin, Violin, with Andrei Korobeinikov, Piano Program Notes

    Vadim Repin, violin, with Andrei Korobeinikov, piano Program Notes Part: Fratres Born in Paide, September 11, 1935 In 1960, while still a student at the Talinn Conservatory, Arvo Pärt won national attention for his Nekrolog, dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust. It was the first work by an Estonian composer to use Schoenberg’s twelve-tone system so it created something of a scandal. The notoriety had its rewards, however, as it brought Pärt commissions from state sources and from cellist Rostropovich. Soon tired of his serial phase, Pärt began a series of alternations between creative output and withdrawal to search for a new style. One of his explorations came up with the collage technique, resulting in such compositions as his Collage on the Theme B-A-C-H (1964) and Second Symphony (1966). During the 1970s Pärt supported himself by writing some 50 film scores. His third symphony (1971) followed one of his “withdrawal” periods, in which he studied 14th – 15th century polyphony, from Machaut to Josquin. He followed another of his “creative silences” with For Alina (1976), a small piano piece of high and low extremes. Pärt said he reached a “new plateau” with this piece: “It was here that I discovered the triad series, which I made my simple, little guiding rule.” He has written in this triadic style, which he calls “tintinnabuli” (after the bell-like resemblance of notes in the triad), ever since, with only slight modifications. From 1982, when he moved to Berlin, he has composed primarily religious works for chorus or small vocal ensembles.

    EDVARD GRIEG Recognizing the Importance of the Nationalist Composer on the International Stage IPA Transliteration of Three Song Cycles D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Caroline Patricia Bergan, M.M., A.D. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2020 D.M.A. Document Committee Dr. Scott McCoy, Advisor Dr. Youkyung Bae Prof. Edward Bak Prof. Loretta Robinson Copyright by Caroline Patricia Bergan 2020 Abstract In North American colleges, universities, and conservatories it is not uncommon to find the main languages required of music students to be French, Italian, German, and English. Beyond the scope of these four most common languages, Russian, Spanish, and Czech are sung by more advanced or native singers of the languages; however, many other languages seem to be ignored in academia in both solo performance as well as in choral settings. It is a disservice to limit the scope of languages and repertoire when there exists a plethora of rarely performed compositions; moreover, it is not reasonable for these institutions to limit student's learning because of this “tradition.” Among the overlooked are the Scandinavian languages. This document will specifically address the repertoire of the most renowned Norwegian composer of the nineteenth century, Edvard Grieg (1843-1907). There exist but two published works that provide a singer with the resources to learn the pronunciation of curated Grieg selections. Neither of these resources was written by native Norwegian speakers; therefore, utilizing my linguistic skills as a native speaker and singer I intend this document to be a contribution toward the goal of providing near-native, accurate International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transliterations of three song cycles representing Grieg's early, middle, and late writing.

    Asbjørn Ø. Eriksen: Edvard Grieg's Song Cycles Reiseminder Fra Fjeld

    Asbjørn Ø. Eriksen: Edvard Grieg’s Song Cycles Reiseminder fra Fjeld og Fjord (Op. 44) and Elegiske Digte (Op. 59). Attempt at a revaluation. Edvard Grieg’s Reiseminder fra Fjeld og Fjord [Reminiscenses from Mountain and Fjord] Op. 44 set to texts by Holger Drachmann was written in 1886 – the same year as the successful third album Lyric Pieces Op. 43 and the brilliant Third Violin Sonata. Elegiske Digte [Elegiac Songs] Op. 59 – settings of six poems by John Paulsen – were realized in 1893/94, at the same time as the highly esteemed Krag Songs Op. 60. We may then assume that Grieg wrote these songs in periods of creative inspiration. However, leading Norwegian Grieg specialists Monrad Johansen, Finn Benestad and Dag Schjelderup-Ebbe have regarded Reiseminder fra Fjeld og Fjord and Elegiske Digte as two of the weakest works by Grieg within the song genre. An opinion also shared, seemingly, by Beryl Foster and Sandra Jarrett in their books on Grieg’s songs. Russian musicologists and Grieg specialists have presented quite different views on these songs: Boris Asafev, Olga Levasheva and Ruth Leytes regard Elegiske Digte as outstanding, and Asafev and Leytes also praise Reiseminder fra Fjeld og Fjord. In my paper I shall point out some qualities in Reiseminder fra Fjeld og Fjord and Elegiske Digte which have escaped the attention of most critics, and discuss a few of the songs more thoroughly. Moreover, I will suggest possible reasons for the striking discrepancy between the Norwegian and Russian evaluation of these two works. In the summer of 1886 Grieg and the Danish poet Holger Drachmann (1846-1908) made a tour in Hardanger and the Jotunheimen mountains.
