    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 Unpublished.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.

    The Fiddle Traditions the Violin Comes to Norway It Is Believed That The

    The fiddle traditions The violin comes to Norway It is believed that the violin came to that violins from this period were Norway in the middle of the 1600s brought home by, amongst others, from Italy and Germany. This was Norwegian soldiers who fought in probably as a result of upper class wars in Europe. music activities in the towns. But, much suggests that fiddle playing was known in the countryside before this. Already around 1600 ‘farmer fiddles’ are described in old sources, and named fiddlers are also often encountered. We know of the Hardanger fiddle from the middle of the 1600s, which implies that a fiddle-making industry was already established in the countryside before the violin was popular in the Norwegian towns. Rural craftsmen in Norway must have acquired knowledge about this new instrument from 1500s Italy and been inspired by it. One can imagine From 1650 onwards, the violin quickly became a popular instrument throughout the whole of the country. We have clear evidence of this in many areas – from Finnmark, the rural areas of the West Coast and from inland mountain and valley districts. The fiddle, as it was also called, was the pop instrument of its day. There exist early descriptions as to how the farming folk amused themselves and danced to fiddle music. In the course of the 1700s, its popularity only increased, and the fiddle was above all used at weddings and festive occasions. Fiddlers were also prominent at the big markets, and here it was possible to find both fiddles and fiddle strings for sale.

    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.

    Solo List and Reccomended List for 02-03-04 Ver 3

    Please read this before using this recommended guide! The following pages are being uploaded to the OSSAA webpage STRICTLY AS A GUIDE TO SOLO AND ENSEMBLE LITERATURE. In 1999 there was a desire to have a required list of solo and ensemble literature, similar to the PML that large groups are required to perform. Many hours were spent creating the following document to provide “graded lists” of literature for every instrument and voice part. The theory was a student who made a superior rating on a solo would be required to move up the list the next year, to a more challenging solo. After 2 years of debating the issue, the music advisory committee voted NOT to continue with the solo/ensemble required list because there was simply too much music written to confine a person to perform from such a limited list. In 2001 the music advisor committee voted NOT to proceed with the required list, but rather use it as “Recommended Literature” for each instrument or voice part. Any reference to “required lists” or “no exceptions” in this document need to be ignored, as it has not been updated since 2001. If you have any questions as to the rules and regulations governing solo and ensemble events, please refer back to the OSSAA Rules and Regulation Manual for the current year, or contact the music administrator at the OSSAA. 105 SOLO ENSEMBLE REGULATIONS 1. Pianos - It is recommended that you use digital pianos when accoustic pianos are not available or if it is most cost effective to use a digital piano.

    Fra Halling Til Reinlender

    Institutt for musikkvitenskap, UiO Litteratur MUS1301 V2010 1 Fra halling til reinlender Historisk skisse av runddansens / gammaldansens inntog i norske danse- og instrumentaltradisjoner. Av Olav Sæta Ved midten av 1800-tallet hadde fela og hardingfela vært dominerende som folkelige instrumenter til dans og seremonier i hver sine omr˚aderi Norge i rundt et ˚arhundre. Fele hadde riktignok vært i bruk siden 1600- tallet, der et 30-talls dokumenterte tilfeller antyder felebruk godt spredt over landet, bortsett fra i visse samiske omr˚ader.Og fra første del av 1700- tallet framtrer et bilde av felas generelt stigende posisjon og popularitet. Rundt hardingfelas opphav og alder fins enkelte uklare momenter, men en framvekst i Hardanger virker sikker. Tida for omfattende utbredelse av slike feler til betydelige omr˚aderi Sør-Norge { Vestlandet fra nordre Rogaland til Sogn, Telemark, Numedal, Hallingdal og Valdres { var fra 1750-60-tall og framover noen ti˚ar(se art. om feletradisjoner). I ettertid er disse omr˚adene{ som ble noe utvidet etter hvert { p˚afolkemusikkspr˚ak kalt hardingfeleomr˚ader.Øvrige distrikter i landet er kalt feleomr˚ader, eller omr˚aderfor vanlig fele. Fra denne perioden og til godt inn p˚a1800-tallet virker bruken av de to feletypene i hovedsak ˚aha vært svært parallell. Eldre skikker og praksis for musikkbruk i samværsformer og seremonier virker ˚aha vært temmelig ensartet landet over i det gamle bondesamfunnet, som omfattet rundt 90% av befolkningen. Bruken av felemusikk gjaldt først og fremst til tidas aktuelle sl˚atterepertoar knyttet til dansens brede plass i samværsformene og til marsjer i bryllups- seremoniene. Slik inngikk denne musikken i, og var dels formet av, sosiale funksjoner { ved sida av ˚agi musikalsk opplevelse.
