  • Suggested Program for Concerts in Japan on the 2Nd and 4Th of November 2015
    Suggested program for concerts in Japan on the 2nd and 4th of November 2015 Comments on the songs. Edvard Grieg: ( 1843 – 1907 ) Sangerhilsen (Song of Welcome) Written on the occasion of a choir festival in Trondheim 1883. 28 choirs took part and this song was performed by the choirs of Trondheim as a welcome to the visiting choirs. We often use this song as a starting song on our concerts. Welcome all singers! Let the song be loud and clear around our flag. Let us all sing together in an eternal chord of music. Before we leave each other we will be united in our minds. Johan Selmer: ( 1844 – 1910 ) Sangen har lysning (The singing is enlightening ) Written to a Norwegian choir in 1872 to celebrate their 25th Anniversary by the Norwegian poet Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson. The singing casts an explanatory light over your work; it has warmth and breaks down the coldness in your mind. It has eternity and combines past and future in an immense ocean of lights. The singing also unites and reconciles fighting opponents in united efforts to create beauty, deed and purity. Rikard Nordraak: ( 1842 – 1866 ) Olav Trygvason The composer also composed the Norwegian National Anthem together with the poet Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, who wrote the lyrics. Bjørnson has also written the lyrics for this song. The song describes the death of king Olav Trygvason (995-1000). A fleet of Viking ships is crossing the North Sea to Denmark to wait for the arrival of King Olav and his ship called Ormen Lange. Upon arrival to Denmark they see no sign of him or his ship.

  • Edvard Grieg: Between Two Worlds Edvard Grieg: Between Two Worlds
    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.

  • Norway – Music and Musical Life
    Norway2BOOK.book Page 273 Thursday, August 21, 2008 11:35 PM Chapter 18 Norway – Music and Musical Life Chapter 18 Norway – Music and Musical Life By Arvid Vollsnes Through all the centuries of documented Norwegian music it has been obvi- ous that there were strong connections to European cultural life. But from the 14th to the 19th century Norway was considered by other Europeans to be remote and belonging to the backwaters of Europe. Some daring travel- ers came in the Romantic era, and one of them wrote: The fantastic pillars and arches of fairy folk-lore may still be descried in the deep secluded glens of Thelemarken, undefaced with stucco, not propped by unsightly modern buttress. The harp of popular minstrelsy – though it hangs mouldering and mildewed with infrequency of use, its strings unbraced for want of cunning hands that can tune and strike them as the Scalds of Eld – may still now and then be heard sending forth its simple music. Sometimes this assumes the shape of a soothing lullaby to the sleep- ing babe, or an artless ballad of love-lorn swains, or an arch satire on rustic doings and foibles. Sometimes it swells into a symphony descriptive of the descent of Odin; or, in somewhat less Pindaric, and more Dibdin strain, it recounts the deeds of the rollicking, death-despising Vikings; while, anon, its numbers rise and fall with mysterious cadence as it strives to give a local habitation and a name to the dimly seen forms and antic pranks of the hol- low-backed Huldra crew.” (From The Oxonian in Thelemarken, or Notes of Travel in South-Western Norway in the Summers of 1856 and 1857, written by Frederick Metcalfe, Lincoln College, Oxford.) This was a typical Romantic way of describing a foreign culture.

    c 2011 by Cathrine Blom. All rights reserved. KJERULF AND WELHAVEN: THE ADVENT OF ROMANTIC LIEDER AND POETRY IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY NORWAY BY CATHRINE BLOM DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor William Kinderman, Chair and Director of Research Professor Christina Bashford Professor Gayle Sherwood Magee Professor Rochelle Wright Abstract This thesis traces the development of the romantic Lied and poetry in Norway in the first half of the nineteenth century, a development driven by by two closely intertwined figures, the composer Halfdan Kjerulf (1815-1868) and the poet Johan Sebastian Cammermeyer Welhaven (1807-1873). Welhaven was Norway’s first Romantic poet in the Heidelberg tra- dition, a trend which took its inspiration from folklore, folk music, and medieval myths. His probing nationalistic depiction of nature, interwoven with supernatural folkloristic elements, and his elegiac-erotic and lyrical poetry inspired Kjerulf to create the Norwegian romance, Den norske romanse, modeling it initially on the German Lied. During the years from 1840 to 1868, Kjerulf set 43 Welhaven poems to music – 24 for solo voice and piano – and with his more than 130 songs established the Norwegian art-song that Edvard Grieg would build on during the decades following Kjerulf’s death. After presenting the cultural and political background in Norway, the intertwined lives of the poet and composer and their European cultural heritage, this thesis turns to a detailed analysis of the complete Welhaven romances for one voice, and demonstrates how Kjerulf and Welhaven, initially oriented towards Denmark and Europe, the Danish language and the German Lied, developed a growing appreciation for national traits and language.

  • Lionel Carley Paper 2007
    1 Edvard Grieg and his critical and popular reception in England –––––––––––––––––––– LIONEL CARLEY When Edvard Grieg first came to England as a 19-year-old in the company of his parents and brother in the summer of 1862 he was, of course, completely unknown. When he returned twenty-six years later, in 1888, he was welcomed in London as a conquering hero. What then had happened in the intervening years to effect this transfiguration? At a time when Grieg’s works had begun to be played in public in the Nordic countries and then in Germany, the English public at large did not know him. Apart, that is, from his earliest piano compositions, which on account of their playable compass were being taken up in musical homes in the 1870s and even being introduced into their lessons – in London at least – by the more progressive piano teachers of the day. Throughout the 1870s, Scandinavia in music had largely been represented in English concert halls by Niels Gade, who enjoyed for a time a fair popularity. Then in 1871 reports from Leipzig of Johan Svendsen’s works began, if sporadically, to appear in London’s musical presses. The Monthly Musical Record, a magazine published by George Augener, who was the London representative of Max Abraham’s C. F. Peters company in Leipzig, told us of how ‘a new symphony by a young Norwegian, Johann [sic] Svendsen’ had been performed at a Gewandhaus Concert.1 This favourable, if brief, report was soon succeeded by an unfavourable critique of ‘a new violoncello concerto by Swendsen [sic]’, also given at the Gewandhaus.2 Halfdan Kjerulf, too, was occasionally represented in London’s concert halls.

These delays gradually led to a reduction in the yearly number of issues: in 1890, nine issues were published; in 1891, five; and, in 1892, a single, final issue. While the individual issues varied in length from 16 to 28 pages, 16 became the norm from 1888 to 1892. Beginning in 1883 a four-page music supplement accompanied each issue.2 In 1893 only the first music supplement appeared. The financing of the journal was based mainly on subscriptions, but individual issues with their music supplements were also sold separately. Initially, Warmuth also offered the full year's issues in a bound volume which contained a colored '' elegant original cover'' and gold print. During the same period the music supplements as well were collected and made available as a single publication.
