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.

Modelling Body Vibration and Sound Radiation of a Modified Kantele

Espoo 26.11.2012 Thesis supervisor: Prof. Vesa Välimäki Thesis instructor: D.Sc. (Tech.) Henri Penttinen Aalto University School of Electrical A? Engineering aalto university abstract of the school of electrical engineering master's thesis Author: Henna Tahvanainen Title: Modelling body vibration and sound radiation of a modified kantele Date: 26.11.2012 Language: English Number of pages:8+65 Department of Signal Processing and Acoustics Professorship: Acoustics and Audio Signal Processing Code: S-89 Supervisor: Prof. Vesa Välimäki Instructor: D.Sc. (Tech.) Henri Penttinen In this thesis, the vibrational modes and radiation of the body of a 15-string instrument called the kantele are modelled using the finite element method. Two traditional body structures, the top-plate kantele and the box kantele, are compared to a modified kantele with an air gap separating the top and the back plate. The modified structure allows the kantele top plate to vibrate freely. In addition, together the top and back plate create an enclosed air mass that has its own vibrational modes. The modified kantele has previously been shown to be louder than the traditional top plate kantele. In this thesis, it is shown that the modified kantele includes vibrational modes of both the freely vibrating top plate and the enclosed air. Thus, it has a higher mode density than the traditional kanteles. Because of the coupling of the enclosed air modes to the body, the modified kantele radiates more omni-directionally than the traditional kanteles.

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.

THE JVEDIS. ART SONG Presented to the Graduate Council of the North
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. Without his kindly interest this work would have been impossible, iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page . 1.F. .:.A . !. !. ! .! . .! ! PREFACE.! . ! .0 01 ! OF LIST ITLISTRATITONS. - - - . a- . a .
