  • Beethoven and Banjos - an Annual Musical Celebration for the UP
    Beethoven and Banjos - An Annual Musical Celebration for the UP Beethoven and Banjos 2018 festival is bringing Nordic folk music and some very unique instruments to the Finnish American Heritage Center in Hancock, Michigan. Along with the musicians from Decoda (Carnegie Hall’s resident chamber group) we are presenting Norwegian Hardanger fiddler Guro Kvifte Nesheim and Swedish Nyckelharpist Anna Gustavsson. Guro Kvifte Nesheim grew up in Oslo, Norway, and started playing the Hardanger fiddle when she was seven years old. She has learned to play the traditional music of Norway from many great Hardanger fiddle players and has received prizes for her playing in national competitions for folk music. In 2013 she began her folk music education in Sweden at the Academy of Music and Drama in Gothenburg. Guro is composing a lot of music, and has a great interest and love for the old music traditions of Norway and Sweden. In 2011 she went to the world music camp Ethno and was bit by the “Ethno-bug”. Since then she has attended many Ethno Camps as a participant and leader, and setup Ethno Norway with a team of fellow musicians. In spring 2015 she worked at the Opera House of Gothenburg with the dance piece “Shadowland”. The Hardanger fiddle is a traditional instrument from Norway. It is called the Hardanger Fiddle because the oldest known Hardanger Fiddle, made in 1651, was found in the area Hardanger. The instrument has beautiful decorations, traditional rose painting, mother-of-pearl inlays and often a lion’s head. The main characteristic of the Hardanger Fiddle is the sympathetic strings that makes the sound very special – it’s like an old version of a speaker that amplifies the sound.

  • Utopia of the North Scandinavia's Presence at the Educational
    Scandinavica Vol 58 No 2 2019 Utopia of the North Scandinavia’s Presence at the Educational Exhibition in London, July 1854 Merethe Roos University of South-Eastern Norway Abstract This article sheds light upon the Norwegian and Swedish contributions at the Educational Exhibition in London in 1854 and how the exhibits from these countries were covered in the British contemporary press. The article suggests that the strongly positive reaction in the British press should be viewed in the light of a rising interest in Scandinavia as a tourist destination which emerged in the British Society from the mid- nineteenth century. This interest in Scandinavia as a tourist destination replaced a fascination for the North as a wild, remote and untouched location. Keywords educational exhibition, schools, Scandinavia, press, tourism 134 Scandinavica Vol 58 No 2 2019 In this article, I will analyse the press reports in British newspapers covering the Norwegian and Swedish contributions at the educational exhibition in London in 1854. I will argue that these reports can be seen in the light of a rising interest in the Scandinavian countries as a tourist destination, characteristic for Great Britain at that time. This interest pertained particularly to Norway and Sweden; Denmark was more densely populated and less characterised by a wild and untouched nature. Thus Denmark did not meet the main preconditions for this recently awakened interest in the North. During the summer months of 1854, the British Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce arranged an international educational exhibition at St. Martin’s Hall in London.

    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.

The thesis aims to give the reader an understanding how bands, agencies and other professionals in the field of music work to build brand identities for Nordic folk music bands in Japan, and give ideas that could be generalized to help answer the question “How do I get to play in Japan?”. The thesis is an exploratory study using qualitative research method. The data was collected through ten interviews with bands that are, or have been, in a roster of an agency, Japanese agencies, and professionals related to the field. Theoretical framework is based on literature on brand identity, Kapferer’s theory of prism of brand identity in particular. The research reveals meanings of brand identity elements on the specific field of Nordic folk music in Japan. Bands’ ideas why they were selected to an agency’s roster, and the agencies’ principles on selecting artists, and reasons why they get interested in Nordic bands, propose answers to the the question ”how to get to play in Japan”.

  • The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc
    THE NORDIC FIDDLERS BLOC The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc is Olav Luksengård Mjelva, Anders Hall and Kevin Henderson who come from Norway, Sweden and the Shetland Islands respectively. They are three of the finest young fiddlers currently working in the folk music scene and are in great demand playing in various musical constellations throughout the world. The project is the brainchild of Anders Hall who felt that combining the three unique distinctive fiddle styles together would create a special sound. Anders hunch proved to be correct after first exchanging musical thoughts with each other in Voss in May 2009. From the first note that was played they realized this was a collaboration that had to continue such was the feeling of excitement and respect for each other’s playing and traditions. Norway, Sweden and Shetland has three of the richest fiddling traditions in the world as well as many well documented historical links going back hundreds of years. It is refreshing to see these links being rectified in the musical collaboration that is The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc. They have blended three individual styles from these three Nordic regions but still allow their three distinct flavours to come through in a sound that is unique, meaningful, intense and invigorating. Anders Hall – Sweden Anders Hall comes from Arbrå, Hälsingland in Sweden. He plays fiddle, viola and also the Hardanger fiddle, an instrument he studied at the Ole Bull Academy in Voss from 2006-2008. As a result he now has a unique knowledge of both, Norwegian traditional music as well as his native Swedish.

He began British folk song collecting from1906, being the first to collect by recording on phonograph. Not until his concert career was established did he seek publication of his compositions; the first published by Schott in 1911. A first concert entirely of his music was given in 1912.
