  • Swedish Folk Music
    Ronström Owe 1998: Swedish folk music. Unpublished. Swedish folk music Originally written for Encyclopaedia of world music. By Owe Ronström 1. Concepts, terminology. In Sweden, the term " folkmusik " (folk music) usually refers to orally transmitted music of the rural classes in "the old peasant society", as the Swedish expression goes. " Populärmusik " ("popular music") usually refers to "modern" music created foremost for a city audience. As a result of the interchange between these two emerged what may be defined as a "city folklore", which around 1920 was coined "gammeldans " ("old time dance music"). During the last few decades the term " folklig musik " ("folkish music") has become used as an umbrella term for folk music, gammeldans and some other forms of popular music. In the 1990s "ethnic music", and "world music" have been introduced, most often for modernised forms of non-Swedish folk and popular music. 2. Construction of a national Swedish folk music. Swedish folk music is a composite of a large number of heterogeneous styles and genres, accumulated throughout the centuries. In retrospect, however, these diverse traditions, genres, forms and styles, may seem as a more or less homogenous mass, especially in comparison to today's musical diversity. But to a large extent this homogeneity is a result of powerful ideological filtering processes, by which the heterogeneity of the musical traditions of the rural classes has become seriously reduced. The homogenising of Swedish folk music started already in the late 1800th century, with the introduction of national-romantic ideas from German and French intellectuals, such as the notion of a "folk", with a specifically Swedish cultural tradition.

Espoo 26.11.2012 Thesis supervisor: Prof. Vesa V¨alim¨aki 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 V¨alim¨aki 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.

  • Nordic Roots Dance Kari Tauring - 2014 "Dance Is a Feature of Every Significant Occasion and Event Crucial to Tribal Existence As Part of Ritual
    Nordic Roots Dance Kari Tauring - 2014 "Dance is a feature of every significant occasion and event crucial to tribal existence as part of ritual. The first thing to emphasize is that early dance exists as a ritual element. It does not stand alone as a separate activity or profession." Joan Cass, Dancing Through History, 1993 In 1989, I began to study runes, the ancient Germanic/Nordic alphabet system. I noticed that many rune symbols in the 24 Elder Futhark (100 ACE) letters can be made with one body alone or one body and a staff and some require two persons to create. I played with the combination of these things within the context of Martial Arts. In the Younger futhark (later Iron Age), these runes were either eliminated or changed to allow one body to create 16 as a full alphabet. In 2008 I was introduced to Hafskjold Stav (Norwegian Family Tradition), a Martial Arts based on these 16 Younger Futhark shapes, sounds and meanings. In 2006 I began to study Scandinavian dance whose concepts of stav, svikt, tyngde and kraft underpinned my work with rune in Martial Arts. In 2011/2012 I undertook a study with the aid of a Legacy and Heritage grant to find out how runes are created with the body/bodies in Norwegian folk dances along with Telemark tradition bearer, Carol Sersland. Through this collaboration I realized that some runes require a "birds eye view" of a group of dances to see how they express themselves. In my personal quest to find the most ancient dances within my Norwegian heritage, I made a visit to the RFF Center (Rådet for folkemusikk og folkedans) at the University in Trondheim (2011) meeting with head of the dance department Egil Bakka and Siri Mæland, and professional dancer and choreographer, Mads Bøhle.

  • On the Swedish Polska
    Translingual Discourse in Ethnomusicology 3 2017, 125-143. doi:10.17440/tde019 On the Swedish polska † ERNST KLEIN Originally published as “Om polskedanser". Svenska Kulturbilder, Ny följd, 1937, 269-288, Stockholm (reprint 1994). Draft translation: Esbjörn Wettermark, copy-editing: Jessica Sloan-Leitner. Translator’s note As a first translation of Ernst Klein’s pioneering work on the polska I hope that this text will lead to more international interest in the history of Scandinavian dance research and further investigations of Klein’s scholarship. In his article Klein uses a rather dated and colloquial Swedish and in my translation I have tried to strike a balance between preserving some of his stylistics and making the text easy to fol- low for a modern day reader. The original work was not intended to be used as a free standing journal article by itself but as an accompanying text for an exhibition on traditional dance. Taking this into account, I have added a few notes where the original text needed some further explanations. I have retained Swedish terminol- ogy in order for the reader to be able to find further text pertaining to areas of in- terest. E.W. *** In my ears, and those of my contemporaries, the term polska has a romantic over- tone. I doubt that I am alone in once having thought of polska as being a romantic or dialectal way of writing the more colloquial polka. Such a miscomprehension is understandable, but completely wrong, and most likely the meanings of the two words have little in common. The polka is a product of the early 19th century, whereas the origins of the polska can be traced at least another two hundred years † At the time of the author’s passing, on Walpurgis Night 1937, the manuscript of this es- say was found in the state that it has now been published.

    NORTHERN DANCES: FOLK MUSIC FROM SCANDINAVIA AND ESTONIA Gunnar Idenstam You are now entering our world of epic folk music from around the Baltic Sea, played on a large church organ and the nyckelharpa, the keyed Swedish fiddle, in a recording made in tribute to the new organ in the Domkirke (Cathedral) in Kristiansand in Norway. The organ was constructed in 2013 by the German company Klais, which has created an impressive and colourful instrument with a large palette of different sounds, from the most delicate and poetic to the most majestic and festive – a palette that adds space, character, volume and atmosphere to the original folk tunes. The nyckelharpa, a traditional folk instrument, has its origins in the sixteenth century, and its fragile, Baroque-like sound is happily embraced by the delicate solo stops – for example, the ‘woodwind’, or the bells, of the organ – or it can be carried, like an eagle flying over a majestic landscape, with deep forests and high mountains, by a powerful northern wind. The realm of folk dance is a fascinating soundscape of irregular pulse, ostinato- like melodic figures and improvised sections. The melodic and rhythmic variations they show are equally rich, both in the musical tradition itself and in the traditions of the hundreds of different types of dances that make it up. We have chosen folk tunes that are, in a more profound sense, majestic, epic, sacred, elegant, wild, delightful or meditative. The arrangements are not written down, but are more or less improvised, according to these characters. Gunnar Idenstam/Erik Rydvall 1 Northern Dances This is music created in the moment, introducing the mighty bells of the organ.
