  • 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.

  • Den Norske Kunsten Staar Fix Og Ferdig Paa Fjeldet”
    Institutt for musikkvitenskap, UiO Litteratur MUS1301 V2010 1 "Den norske Kunsten staar fix og ferdig paa Fjeldet" av Olav Sæta Overskriftens p˚astand er tillagt Ole Bull, trolig omkring 1850, og kan vir- ke typisk for et av høydepunktene i den nasjonalromantiske perioden i v˚arkulturhistorie. Forutsetningen for dette var strømningene i europeisk ˚andslivfra siste del av 1700-tallet og framover, der tanker om, og følelse for, nasjonal identitet ble styrket, noe som fikk spesielt sterkt gjennomslag i kulturlivet. For musikkens del innebar dette oppfatninger om at en nasjons egen musikkarv burde utgjøre fundamentet for landets musikkliv. Den urbane ˚ands-og kultureliten, som forvaltet slike tanker, oppfattet ˚aleve i svært moderne tider preget av rotløshet og fremmedgjøring, der nasjonens rendyrkede musikalske arv bare kunne finnes igjen blant den enkle og na- turlige befolkningen p˚alandsbygda. Dette var mer enn rent ideologiske funderinger. Den musikalske arven ble oppfattet som en ˚andskraftnedlagt i hvert enkelt menneske { slik Johan Gottfried von Herder hadde hevdet i Tyskland, og slik Aasmund O. Vinje beskrev det her hjemme: Dei høyrde Tonar, som dei kjende var sine eigne. Det folkelige inspirerer Bulls utsagn om den norske Kunsten var særlig myntet p˚aden folkelige musikken og dansen, der hans eget engasjement vokste kraftig fra 1840- ˚ara.Han ans˚aat sl˚attemusikk p˚ahardingfele, og de gamle dansene halling og springar i variert utforming, var enest˚aende kunstverk i seg sjøl, slik han hadde opplevd dem utført av de beste utøverne i bygde-Norge. Hos andre kunstnere, og hos publikum, omfattet den nasjonale gløden i like stor grad teater-, dikter-, malerkunst og arkitektur, og ikke minst den næ- re samklangen som eksisterte mellom disse uttrykksformene p˚adenne tida.

    Regional og typologisk variasjon i norsk slåttemusikk -en kvantitativ tilnærming med et historisk perspektiv Per Åsmund Omholt Avhandling for graden dr.art. Universitetet i Bergen 2009 ii iii Regional og typologisk variasjon i norsk slåttemusikk -en kvantitativ tilnærming med et historisk perspektiv Per Åsmund Omholt Avhandling for graden dr.art. Griegakademiet, Institutt for musikk Historisk-filosofisk fakultet Universitetet i Bergen 2009 iv v Abstract The purpose of the dissertation is to shed light on regional and typological variations in Norwegian old-time fiddling in a historical perspective. I have analyzed 500 transcriptions of traditional tunes from different localities, limited to the gangar / halling and springar / pols varieties. With a computer program specifically developed for this task, I have adapted the tunes written in finger / scordatura notation for a statistical approach by digitalizing the notes. I focus on the role that differences in formal construction, tonality and rhythm might play in connection to the discussion about origin and historical processes. Concerning form, my investigation attempts to give an overview of the typological and geographical distribution of different types of motifs and different methods of formal progression. The determination of the motifs in the music is partly a matter of interpretation based on an inside perspective and personal, tacit knowledge. In order to study tonal matters, I relate the patterns of fingering to theories of scales, crucial tones, frames, modes and movement. My basic approach to the rhythmic aspects is to study the distribution of the note durations (1/4, 1/8, 1/16 etc.). The types of tunes in general or bar- or beat patterns in a rhythmical context are being related to the variation within these categories.

He showed a strong interest in music at very early age, and after encouragement by violinist and composer, Ole Bull (1810 - 1880), he was sent to the Conservatory in Leipzig at the age of fifteen to receive his music education. At the conservatory he received a fundamental and solid training, and through the city's active musical life, he received impressions, and heard music, which would leave their stamp on him for the rest of his life, for better or for worse. Even though he severely criticized the conservatory, especially towards the end of his life, inreality he was recognised as a great talent, and one sees in his sketchbooks and practices from the Leipzigperiod that he had the freedom to experiment as well. He had no basis for criticizing the conservatory or his teachers for poor teaching or a lack of understanding.

The Roots of the Hardanger Fiddle The Norwegian Hardanger fiddle, with its rich decorations and sympathetic strings, dates back to at least the mid-17th century. The oldest surviving fiddle is the so-called Jaastad fiddle from 1651, made by the local sheriff in Ullensvang, Hardanger, Ole Jonsen Jaastad (1621–1694). This is a rather small instrument with a very curved body, supplied with two sympathetic strings. We believe that this and other similar fiddles which are found especially in Western Norway and in the Telemark area could be descendants from the Medieval fiddles in Scandinavia. To put sympathetic strings on bowed instruments was probably an impulse from the British Isles reaching the Hardanger region early in the 17th century.
