Doktorgradsarbeidet har innebore mange spennande reiser i tid, geografi og ikkje minst musikk, det har vore hardt arbeid, frustrasjonar, små og store skrive- og syngegleder. No ligg det omsider her, dokumentert i bok- og CD-form. Mange har vore med på ferda, og skal ha takk: først hovudrettleiar professor Elef Nesheim ved Noregs musikkhøgskole (NMH), for ustoppeleg entusiasme, store kunnskapar og hjelp med struktur og pågangsmot i alle fasar. Så birettleiar professor Erling Sandmo ved historisk fakultet UiO, for skarpe lesingar og alltid like hyggelege samtalar. Takk skal òg lektor Erik Steinskog ved Københavns Universitet ha, for verdifulle tips og utfordringar som opponent på prøvedisputas. Frå songarhald har rettleiinga frå professor Barbro Marklund og universitetslektor Ståle Ytterli ved NMH vore rik, utviklande og morosam. Også musikarane som har tatt del på dei ulike konsertane skal ha varm takk – særleg pianistane Jorunn Marie Bratlie og Ivar Anton Waagard, begge førsteamanuensisar ved NMH og utruleg givande å samarbeide med.

INTRODUCTION THE Norwegian Community in New York City is now more than a century old, figuring from the time of the arrival of the sloop Restau- rationen, which often and with justification has been called the Norwegian May')'lower. For about 115 years Norwegians have been part and parcel of this community and have made their substantial contributions to the upbuilding of the City and the land. These contributions to what may be called the Making of America have on the part of the Norwegian ele- ment embraced nearly every field of human endeavor, although it is quite natural that in the Port of New York and along the Atlantic seaboard as a whole the heaviest contribution to American life and development has been in shipping in all its various phases.
