PROGRAM Grieg International Choir Festival Syng for Oss Bergen, 16 - 19 June 2016 PROGRAM Grieg International Choir Festival Syng For Oss Bergen, 16 - 19 June 2016 1 2 IT IS A GREAT PLEASURE TO WELCOME YOU ALL TO THE BEAUTIFUL CITY OF BERGEN, AND TO THE GRIEG INTERNATIONAL CHOIR FESTIVAL. The fact that Edvard Grieg’s name is connected to the festival makes it very special for the city. We are pleased to see that the interest for the art of Edvard Grieg still is alive - both among researchers and performing musicians.He was and still is, one of our greatest composers in the history of Norway and Bergen. Bergen is a cultural city, with a vital environment for amateurs as well as professionals, with high quality in all genres and with strong international networks. The city is also proud to off er a diversity of choirs that off ers diff erent genres. Recently, I read a research Foto: Hans Jørgen Brun article that documented that when people sing together in a choir their heart rhythm’s synchronies. Isn’t that fascinating? It has been a known fact for a long time that singing helps you with depressions and anxiety. So maybe the world needs to sing a little bit more. I can see from the schedule that this competition is going to be busy days for you, but I am sure you are all very well prepared. With these words, let me wish you all good luck with the competition and I hope you will get memorable days in Bergen, rich in experiences and rich of memories. I also hope that you will have time to see und use our beautiful city during your stay. Marte Mjøs Persen, Mayor of Bergen WELCOME TO SINGERS, CHOIRS AND CONDUCTORS TO COMPETITIONS AND CONCERTS IN BERGEN. This year is special. The Norwegian competition located in Bergen,”Syng For Oss” with roots back to 1987 are joining forces with the 5. Grieg International Choir Festival and the 3. NINA Solo Competition – for young voices. We are very happy to welcome 25 choirs for choir competitions and 20 young singers for the solo competition. This year we will share venues. This will give you all an even greater opportunity to create friendship and cultural understanding during your stay in Bergen. For all choirs it is important with development and at all times improve quality. When we reach new goals it gives us a great sense of achievement.

  • Orkney, Shetland and the Networks of the Northern Reformation*
    ORKNEY, SHETLAND AND THE NETWORKS OF THE NORTHERN REFORMATION* Charlotte Methuen (University of Glasgow) Abstract This article explores the possible implications of the relationship between Orkney and Shetland and Norway for understanding the spread of the Reformation, focusing on the period between the late 1520s, when Reforming ideas began to be preached in Bergen, and 1560, when the Reformation was introduced into Scotland, including Orkney and Shetland. Draws on a scholarship which has shown the importance for the Reformation of language, trade, migration and urban/rural distinctions it investigates tantalising hints of contact between Orkney and Shetland, Norway (particularly Bergen) and Germany in questions of religion. This article does not seek to revise current understandings of the relationships of Orkney and Shetland to Scotland but seeks to explore what insights into (proto-)Reformation processes in Orkney and Shetland when possible influences from debates the Norwegian context – specifically Bergen – are considered alongside the influence of Scottish debates about religion. It concludes that whilst there is some evidence of contacts between individuals and that these contacts must have had aspects which related to religious practice, both the rural nature of Orkney and Shetland communities, and their relative isolation, meant that Reformation ideas were slow to take hold. Keywords Orkney, Shetland, Bergen, Norway, Reformation Introduction In 1987 Gordon Donaldson, drawing on an article he had first published in 1959, commented
