ASNC GUIDES, TEXTS, AND STUDIES 2 SCANDINAVIAN HISTORY IN THE VIKING AGE A SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY Martin Syrett 3rd edition, revised by Haki Antonsson and Jonathan Grove Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic University of Cambridge 2004 PREFACE This bibliography has been put together for the guidance of students studying the paper ‘Scandinavian history in the Viking age’ in the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic, University of Cambridge. Its model and inspiration was the bibliography of the history of Anglo- Saxon England compiled by Professor Simon Keynes, and like its predecessor this bibliography also makes no claim to be anything other than an informal and ephemeral document, in this case providing a bibliographical guide to the sources of, and major themes in, Viking history. Since the bibliography is intended primarily for the use of students, it includes translations as well as editions of primary written sources, and the emphasis is heavily upon secondary literature in English. When items in languages other than English are listed, the presence of any English summary is indicated by (E.s.). The bibliography accordingly makes no effort to be exhaustive in any respect, and overall concentrates extensively on more modern research; readers are nevertheless encouraged to delve more deeply through the use of bibliographies included in the items cited here. One final word of warning centres on the terms employed in this bibliography. ‘Scandinavia’ is here defined as a cultural rather than geographical area, encompassing Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Faroe, and Iceland; moreover, even within those limits ‘Scandinavian’ refers to the culture of the Germanic- speaking elements rather than the indigenous Lappish or Sami populations. In chronological terms ‘Viking age’ is employed to refer roughly to a period from around 750 to around 1050; the period before 750 has been called ‘Iron age’, the period after 1050 ‘mediaeval’. These parameters are for pure convenience only, even though it is appreciated that they are an uneasy mixture of English and Scandinavian, or archaeological and conventional historical, conceptions that can rightly be criticised as too rigid, misleading, or simply wrong. 1 October 2001 Martin Syrett Scandinavian History in the Viking Age: a Select Bibliography was first issued in October 2001. Notification of any errors and suggestions for possible improvements are most welcome, and should be directed to Mr Jonathan Grove, Department of ASNC, Faculty of English, 9 West Road, Cambridge CB3 9DP. Note for the Cambridge reader The vast majority of references in this bibliography are (or soon will be) available for consultation in the libraries of the University of Cambridge, and to some extent preference has been given to the inclusion of such items at the expense of others which are not held in those libraries. The bulk of them are naturally only accessible in the University Library, but a fair range of material is also to be located in the libraries of various departments, such as the Anglo-Saxon Norse and Celtic section of the English Faculty Library, the Seeley Library of the Faculty of History, and the Haddon Library of the Faculty of Archaeology and Anthropology; references to holding libraries and classmarks will generally be found in square brackets following individual items, with preference given to the University Library. Students are encouraged to help build up the holdings of their college libraries and may well want to purchase some of the more general items in section (A) themselves. THE DEPARTMENT OF ANGLO-SAXON, NORSE, AND CELTIC Information on the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic, University of Cambridge, including a guide to the ASNC Tripos, is available on the Department’s website.

TEXTBOOKS AND REFERENCE WORKS Most of the major serial works on Viking-age and mediaeval Scandinavia have been produced in an uneasy mixture of the vernacular Scandinavian languages and are now tending to look somewhat outdated. This applies, for example, to the volumes of the Nordisk kultur series, which nevertheless in some cases remain the most significant guides to various aspects of Scandinavian culture, e.g. (B900-01). A profoundly useful guide to virtually anything anyone could conceivably wish to know on the subject is provided by the Kulturhistorisk leksikon for nordisk middelalder fra vikingetid til reformationstid (A70), although with an inevitable drift towards the mediaeval period; for a more recent, although rather less copious, encyclopaedia see (A73). General textbooks Due to popular interest in the subject there is a vast array of general handbooks available on ‘the Vikings’, most of which say much the same thing and concentrate extensively on Viking activity abroad rather than Scandinavia. The rise to prominence of archaeology as the most significant discipline in the field means that many of the most useful and more recent contributions are well illustrated; (A14) and (A21) can be particularly recommended as accessible and informative guides.

  • Discourses of Decay and Purity in a Globalised Jazz World
    1 Chapter Seven Cold Commodities: Discourses of Decay and Purity in a Globalised Jazz World Haftor Medbøe Since gaining prominence in public consciousness as a distinct genre in early 20th Century USA, jazz has become a music of global reach (Atkins, 2003). Coinciding with emerging mass dissemination technologies of the period, jazz spread throughout Europe and beyond via gramophone recordings, radio broadcasts and the Hollywood film industry. America’s involvement in the two World Wars, and the subsequent $13 billion Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe as a unified, and US friendly, trading zone further reinforced the proliferation of the new genre (McGregor, 2016; Paterson et al., 2013). The imposition of US trade and cultural products posed formidable challenges to the European identities, rooted as they were in 18th-Century national romanticism. Commercialised cultural representations of the ‘American dream’ captured the imaginations of Europe’s youth and represented a welcome antidote to post-war austerity. This chapter seeks to problematise the historiography and contemporary representations of jazz in the Nordic region, with particular focus on the production and reception of jazz from Norway. Accepted histories of jazz in Europe point to a period of adulatory imitation of American masters, leading to one of cultural awakening in which jazz was reimagined through a localised lens, and given a ‘national voice’. Evidence of this process of acculturation and reimagining is arguably nowhere more evident than in the canon of what has come to be received as the Nordic tone. In the early 1970s, a group of Norwegian musicians, including saxophonist Jan Garbarek (b.1947), guitarist Terje Rypdal (b.1947), bassist Arild Andersen (b.1945), drummer Jon Christensen (b.1943) and others, abstracted more literal jazz inflected reinterpretations of Scandinavian folk songs by Nordic forebears including pianist Jan Johansson (1931-1968), saxophonist Lars Gullin (1928-1976) bassist Georg Riedel (b.1934) (McEachrane 2014, pp.

  • What Did They Sound Like?
    Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Íslensk miðaldafræði What did they sound like? Reconstructing the music of the Viking Age Ritgerð til MA-prófs í íslenskum miðaldafræðum Chihiro Tsukamoto Kt.: 250493-3209 Leiðbeinandi: Þórir Jónsson Hraundal Janúar 2017 Abstract There has been much scholarship over the years regarding Scandinavian culture during the Viking Age (c. 793–1066 CE). However, often missing from these discussions is the study of music. This paper attempts to fill that gap by offering a reconstruction of Viking Age Scandinavian music. Archaeological evidence, literary records, and medieval music theories were used as the basis of this study. Archaeology indicates that Scandinavians played wind, string, and percussion instruments, while later Old Norse literary accounts detail the many circumstances wherein music was performed, and suggest the likely existence of different musical genres. I have consulted Arabic, Greek, and Latin accounts for contemporary sources, as the Scandinavian people did not have a written culture during this time. Marking a departure from typical historical analyses, I have also conducted a cross- cultural comparison of medieval Arabic, Greek, and Western European music theories in order to recognize what Scandinavian music could not have resembled. By combining archaeological, literary, and musical evidence, it is possible to propose a highly educated hypothesis on how Viking Age Scandinavian music may have sounded. Ágrip Mikið hefur verið rætt og ritað í gegnum árin um Skandinavíska menningu á Víkingaöld (um 793–1066 e.Kr.). Hins vegar er tónlist viðfangsefni sem oft virðist vanta í þessar umræður. Þessi ritgerð mun reyna að fylla það skarð með því að leggja fram tilgátu um endurgerð Skandinavískrar tónlistar frá Víkingaöld.

    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.

This jazz dialect was developed in the decade following the Nazi occupation of Norway, when Norwegians utilized jazz as a subtle tool of resistance to Nazi cultural policies. This dialect was further enriched through the Scandinavian residencies of African American free jazz pioneers Don Cherry, Ornette Coleman, and George Russell, who tutored Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek. Garbarek is credited with codifying the “Nordic sound” in the 1960s and ‘70s through his improvisations on numerous albums released on the ECM label. Throughout this document I will define, describe, and contextualize this sound concept. Today, the Nordic sound is embraced by Norwegian musicians and cultural institutions alike, and has come to form a significant component of modern Norwegian artistic identity. This document explores these dynamics and how they all contribute to a Norwegian jazz scene that continues to grow and flourish, expressing this jazz identity in a world marked by increasing globalization.
