Northern Lights Programme Booklet Centre for Nordic Studies Northern Lights a festival of ideas & music k e l i B a n a J y b h p a r g o t o h 24 February—6 March 2013 P http://www.nordic-studies.group.shef.ac.uk ‘Northern Lights, a festival of ideas and music’ celebrates the establishment of the Centre for Nordic Studies at the University of Sheffield. With it, we offer 200th birthday greetings to the Danish philosopher, Søren Kierkegaard. The festival has a varied programme of lectures and concerts, and has been made possible by the generous sponsorship of Alan and Hely Sokolowski, to whom we are very grateful. The Centre for Nordic Studies aspires to support the understanding, use and enjoyment of Nordic languages and culture —and we welcome your ideas on how we can achieve it! Please write to us with your ideas at [email protected] Northern Lights is promoted and presented for the Centre for Nordic Studies by Artserve, Sheffield, who would like to thank Lone Kristensen, Cliff Alcock, Deborah Tilbrook, Matthew Holman, Louise Sørensen, Roddy Flint and Fiona Drew for their invaluable help.

Saturday 2 March, Firth Hall, 7.30pm A Celebration of Song A varied programme featuring Chloe Saywell, Rosie Williamson and Matthew Palmer, accompanied by the composer, George Nicholson. The concert includes the first performance of a newly commissioned piece by Jonathan Kirwan. Monday 4 March, Humanities Research Institute, 7pm Lecture by Professor Robert Stern ‘Oh, God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”’: Kierkegaard as a divine command theorist Tuesday 5 March, Humanities Research Institute, 7pm Lecture by Dr Oliver Johnson ‘Physical Fairytale: Finland's Jukola Relay’ Wednesday 6 March, Firth Hall, 7.30pm A choral and orchestral concert Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Don Giovanni overture and extracts Carl Nielsen: Suite Opus 1 Jean Sibelius: 2nd Symphony The Festival Orchestra, soloists Conducted by David Ross Sunday 24 February, Firth Hall, 3pm and 7.30pm Rönsy Helmi Camus – double bass, harmonium, voice Maija Kauhanen – kanteles, saxophone, harmonium, voice Kaisa Ristiluoma – accordions, voice Seamless ensemble playing, unbelievable solos, deep emotions, strong friendship. This is what the music of Rönsy is made of. The music leads you from refined chamber-folk to dance rhythms that knock the shoes off your feet. Rönsy is at home when relishing shades of minimalism as well as when diving into the depths of a virtuosic and rootsy beat. Spontaneity, subtlety and their no-bars attitude join hands in their masterfully structured arrangements. All the members of Rönsy studied at the prestigious Sibelius Academy Folk Music Department. The trio has toured extensively in Finland over the years and has also performed abroad. The group’s internationally acclaimed debut album was released in Summer 2010, and it received the ‘Kantele album of the year 2010’ award of the Finnish Kantele Association. http://www.ronsy.net Lecture programme Tuesday 26 February, Humanities Research Institute, 7pm Lecture by Professor Hugh Pyper ‘The Joy of Kierkegaard: a bicentenary appraisal’ Hugh Pyper’s book, ‘The Joy of Kierkegaard: Essays on Kierkegaard as a Biblical Reader’, was published by Equinox in October 2011. Monday 4 March, Humanities Research Institute, 7pm Lecture by Professor Robert Stern ‘Oh, God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”’: Kierkegaard as a divine command theorist Robert Stern’s book, ‘Understanding Moral Obligation: Kant, Hegel, Kierkegaard’, was published by Cambridge University Press in December 2011 This talk focuses on Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling, and consider in what way it might be read as adopting a divine command view of ethics: namely, that what is right for us to do is made right by God commanding us to do it. Kierkegaard's provocative account of the binding of Isaac by Abraham provides the context for this discussion. Tuesday 5 March, Humanities Research Institute, 7pm Lecture by Dr Oliver Johnson ‘Physical Fairytale: Finland's Jukola Relay’ Oli Johnson’s lecture considers the Jukola relay, and the sport of orienteering more broadly, as a visual and physical representation of traditional Nordic cultural values. How does the Jukola Relay engage with Kivi’s description of the civilising power of nature, and can the cartographic and competitive visualisation of the wilderness provide a modern substitute for this experience? You may also be interested in Colin Roth’s article, ‘Carl Nielsen’s Cultural Self-Education: his early engagement with fine art and ideas, and the path towards Hymnus Amoris ’, published in Carl Nielsen Studies 5 by the Royal Library, Copenhagen, in October 2012, which demonstrates the link, through Georg Brandes, between Nielsen’s and Kierkegaard’s aesthetics. The dynamic interaction between Danish and French creative artists during the ‘long nineteenth century’ forms the second, neo-Platonic and neo-classical, strand in ‘Romanticism’s Double Helix’, now the basis for a developing research project in the Centre for Nordic Studies in collaboration with White Rose partners.

  • 'Northern Gods in Marble'
    ‘NORTHERN GODS IN MARBLE’ The Romantic Rediscovery Marble of Norse Mythology [ KNUT LJØGODT ABSTRACT The Norse myths were rediscovered in the late 18th century, and became important to contemporary culture during the first half of the 19th century. The Romantics discussed the usage of themes from Norse mythology; soon, these themes became widespread in art and literature. Their popularity is closely connected with the national ideals and political situations of the period, but they were often given individual artistic interpretations. The ] Romantic interest in Norse myths and heroes held sway over artists and writers throughout the 19th century. KEYWORDS Norse myths, Norse heroes, pagan religion, Knud Baade, Romanticism vs Classicism. Introduction Karen Blixen’s short story ‘Sorrow-Acre’, published in Winter’s Tales (1942) takes place at a Danish country estate in the late 18th century. During a conversation between the baron and his nephew, they discuss Classical versus Norse mythol- ogy. The young man has discovered the Norse myths through a recently pub- lished work: ‘He mentioned the name of the author, Johannes Ewald, and recited a couple of the elevated verses.’ The book he refers to is Ewald’s play The Death of Balder (1775). He goes on to praise the Norse gods: ‘And I have wondered, while I read,’ he went on after a pause, still moved by the lines he himself had declaimed, ‘that we have not till now understood how much our Nordic my- thology in moral greatness surpasses that of Greece and Rome. If it had not been for the physical beauty of the ancient gods, which have come down to us in marble, no modern mind could hold them worthy of worship.

  • Press Release Ida Ekblad FINAL
    Christen Sveaas Art Foundation: This is the Night Mail selected by Ida Ekblad 27 August 2021 – 2 January 2022 Gallery 7, Free Entry #ChristenSveaasArt An artist night train travels from Norway to Whitechapel Gallery this autumn. 5 August 2021 – The dreams, nightmares and twilight landscapes of 35 international artists are brought together in This is the Night Mail, an artist- curated display by Ida Ekblad (b. 1980, Norway). Drawing from the personal collections of Christen Sveaas and that of the Christen Sveaas Art Foundation, the exhibition creates a densely-packed mise-en-scène featuring painting, photography, sculpture and drawings. This is the Night Mail is the first line of W.H. Auden’s 1936 poem describing a train journey across a sleeping Britain as it carries the nation’s mail. It accompanied a documentary film commissioned by the General Post Office with a propulsive soundtrack by a young Benjamin Britten. The slumbering mystery of Auden’s verse inspired Ekblad’s selection of works in the Collection, which the artist arranges across three imagined train compartments. Ekblad is renowned for her polychromatic, gestural paintings that often expand into immersive environments. Coming from the land of both the longest and the shortest night, she shares a preoccupation with many artists featured in the exhibition, using the nocturne as subject. The exhibition explores how moonlit interiors, land and seascapes form the backdrop for scenes of dream or nightmare, drama and transgression. Ekblad’s selection includes late 19th and 20th century Norwegian artists whose shimmering and mysterious canvases will be new to British audiences.

  • ABSTRACTS Another Horizon Session 1 Asher E. Miller, Assistant
    ABSTRACTS Another Horizon Session 1 Asher E. Miller, Assistant Curator, Department of European Paintings The Metropolitan Museum of Art Northerners in Italy: Interaction, Transmission, Collaboration The point of departure for this talk is the Metropolitan Museum’s holdings of early nineteenth-century paintings and oil sketches by northern European artists working in Rome and Naples. Featuring works by figures ranging from Eckersberg and Koch to Catel and Granet, as well as their younger contemporaries, the Met’s collection was formed in recent years through a combination of curatorial initiative and the passion of local private collectors: it is, therefore, still in its youth. This presentation addresses questions of interaction, transmission, and collaboration between northern artists stemming from the research and display of these pictures. Specific areas of focus include artists of various national origins looking closely at the same iconic motifs, artists learning from one another’s methods and works, and artistic partnerships, notably between Heinrich Reinhold and Johann Joachim Faber, who sketched together at Olevano Romano in the early 1820s. Jens Peter Munk, MA (History of Art) Copenhagen Life among foreign artists in Rome as seen from a Danish perspective In my monograph on Danish Golden Age painter Jørgen Roed (2013) I dedicated a chapter to the life of Danish artists in Rome at that time. I focused in detail on their living and working conditions and their interaction with the local artistic environment as well as with other foreign artists staying in the city for an extended period of time. In this paper I wish to touch on some aspects of this vast theme.

Performance Practice as Musical Poetry Arnulf Christian Mattes Associate professor, Grieg Research Centre, University of Bergen Arnulf Christian Mattes is associate professor, and since 2015 leader, of the Grieg Research Centre at the University of Bergen. He studied violoncello at the Staatliche Musikhochschule Trossingen (the Trossingen University of Music). Mattes received his PhD at the University of Oslo with a dissertation on Schoenberg's chamber music. Since then, he has received research grants from the Norwegian Research Council (NFR) for projects on the performance practice of Rudolf Kolisch and the Norwegian modernist composer Fartein Valen. Mattes has published on topics related to Grieg and Norwegian music in journals such as Archiv für Musikwissenschaft and History of Humanities. Most recently he contributed a chapter to The Routledge Handbook to Music under German Occupation 1938-1945 with a chapter on the 1943 Grieg centenary in occupied Norway. From 2013–2018, Mattes served as editor-in-chief of Studia Musicologica Norvegica (the Norwegian Journal of Musicology). [email protected] Abstract Between 1903 and 1906, Edvard Grieg recorded several of his most popular pieces on piano rolls and gramophone discs for commercial use. Like many of his peers, Grieg, as a composer and virtuoso, grasped the opportunity of the new century’s technology for disseminating his music outside concert halls for broader audiences.
