The tycoon and the log driver SjBgata had - and still has - room for everyone. Like today, around 1860, you could find an average ofthe popu- lation in Sjøgata. The rich merchant, the hardworking craftsman, the go-ahead telegram boy and the toiling log driver had one thing in common - they lived in Sjøgata. At the north end of Sjøgata, Peter Bech opened a mer- chant's business and guest house in 1782. Andreas Bech Jiirgensen, who inherited it in 1866, expanded it into a mini-empire involving forests, sawmills, silver mines, a shipping company and fish processing in Lofoten. He also ran a merchant's business in Sandnesjøen, was an active politician and the mayor for several periods. Injust a few years, he had built several buildings that are still standing in Sjøgata. No. 1 was the main one, followed by no. 2, three waterfront warehouses (Nybryggen, Landgangsbryggen and Storbryggen), a large boathouse, servant's accommodation and a storehouse. These bear witness to the initiative shown by Andreas Jtirgensen. And close by, Nils Jensen, a postman and log driver, built his modest house in 1868.

The steam saws also had the Prince, Comyn, Croskey and Collis, bought "Vefsen's advantage that they could be sited at the mouths of big rivers, Clearings" from Fredrik Holst and began a major forestry thus easing the delivery of timber and the shipping of sawn and sawmill operation in the district. There was a huge timber. This is why Engelskbruket was placed on the island demand for timber to build houses in the new industrial towns of Halsøy outside Mosjøen. ffi jr-*i,l ' . ] -,--':',l -1 ;J ] flfu l England had an outstanding position of power in the mid-19th century and English businessmen looked upon themselves as representatives of a more advanced civilisation when they started trading and industrial enterprises in every corner of the world. Steam power and industrial development were supposed to spread civilisation and advance to peoples and nations at a lower stage of evolution - such as those in northern Norway and other 'primitive people' on the fringes of Europe. Many in Norway feared the steam saws and English capitalists. Instead of advance and civilisation, unemployment, destruction of nature and loss of the country's riches were envisaged. The old sawmill privileges were therefore not abolishedbefore 1860. Timber was one of the country's leading exports and the authorities believed that the free initiative would be a blessing to this industry, too. To ensure the 'enhancement of the national wealth' , the old system of privileges was dismantled, and the way was paved for greater freedom in business. Liberalism became the guide for the civil servants' plans for developing the country. Engelskbruket had its place here. Engelskbruket meant that the little community that was already developing on the shore at the mouth of the Vefsna became the first town in Helgeland. The sawmill needed many workers. Farmer's sons and cotters set up as shopkeepers and craftsmen. People from far and near settled in Mosjøen, attracted by the new opportunities. The place was becoming part of the modern world.

Master tailor Johan Henrichsen ( 1865- 1913) was born at Torget in Brønnøy and served his apprenticeship in Brønnøy- sund and Trondheim. He came to Mosjøen in 1896. The town had recovered from the depression following the collapse of Engelskbruket. In 1908, he bought 2l Sjøgata, where he had "an exceptionally fine shop and fabric store". He employed several journeymen and sewing maids in his workshop. Johan Henrichsen must have been unusually able because in 1908 he won a state scholarship to attend a course at the Academy of Cutters in Copenhagen. He also studied tailoring in Stockholm. When he died in 1913, his wife Emilie took over the business. It gradually became modernised, more goods were added * shirts, ties and galoshes, and readymade suits and coats. When their son, Hilmar, took over after the 2nd World War, the "tailor's business" had become a "mens' outfitters". Their daughter, Klara (Baadst@), opened her own ladies' wear shop in 1932. Other Mosjøen craftsmen also opened shops.

Abstract Wood-inhabiting fungi were collected on different trees in 99 loca-' lities of alder woods, dominated by Alnus incana or occasionally A. glutinosa, in N-C Sweden and C Norway. Most of the localities are situated near the east coast of Sweden where the prevailing land elevation creates conditions suitable for colonization by alder. The remaining localities are mainly found in the inland parts of Sweden and Norway, along streams, in ravines etc. The investigated localities are briefly described as to their general vegetation, and a regional survey of the alder forests is given. The number of collections of Aphyllophorales amounts to approxi­ mately 5,000, comprising 286 species. The following new combinations are proposed: Hypoohnicium polonense (Bres.)

  • Edvard Grieg As a Challenge to National Musicology Arnulf Mattes, University of Bergen
    The Eclipse Effects of Stardom: Edvard Grieg as a Challenge to National Musicology Arnulf Mattes, University of Bergen ABSTRACT Taking Norwegian musicology as a case study, this article explores scholarly forgetting at the intersection between academic music historiography and public music history. More specifically, it takes the national historiography about Edvard Grieg (1843–1907) as a starting point to explore how national stardom, based on ritualized commemoration, can paradoxically result in scholarly forgetting. In order to establish musicology as an academic discipline, the first generation of Norwegian music scholars had a delicate mission to fulfil. These scholars had to both consolidate Edvard Grieg’s significance as a national artist and legitimize his reputation as an internationally recognized genius. Still, from its beginnings in the 1950s up to the early 1990s, the scope of Norwegian musicology was very much nationally oriented. By making Grieg a star of national culture, there was much less room for more critical approaches to his legacy, going beyond the level of historical anecdote and popular myth. This article examines how this specific style of creating national stardom for Grieg in music historiography has contributed to forgetting processes both within and beyond Grieg studies, that is both in scholarship and in national memory culture. Additionally, it will demonstrate how a more critical historiography of Grieg studies might open up forgotten knowledge and thus ‘interrupt’ the continuous process of recycling and repetition of memories and anecdotes that is central to the Norwegian ‘Grieg cult’. This is a balancing act, since musicology should, on the one hand, observe its contract with the audiences and readers without, on the other, continuously reify Grieg’s stardom in a way which eclipses aspects of the man and his work that are not in compliance with the national myth.

Oppstartsmeldinga er i samsvar med § 42 i Naturmangfoldlova. Aktuell verneform er naturreservat, jamfør § 37 i Naturmangfoldlova. Offentlege føringar og frivillig vern Gjennom behandling av Stortingsmelding 25 (2002-2003) slutta Stortinget seg til Regjeringa si innstilling om ei kraftig opptrapping av skogvernet i Norge. Meldinga inneheldt viktige prinsipp og satsingsområder for skogvernet. Det vart blant anna lagt til grunn av eit utvida skogvern skal følgje dei fagleg anbefalingane i NINA rapport 54/2002: «Evaluering av skogvernet i Norge». I meldinga vart frivillig vern trekt fram som ein viktig strategi for det framtidige skogvernet i Norge. Frivillig vern inneber at grunneigar tilbyr staten vern av eigen skog. Miljøvernmyndigheitene vurderer tilbodet og set i gang naturfaglege registreringar for å kartlegge verneverdiar. Dersom området som er tilbode inneheld kvalitetar nok til at det er aktuelt å fremje eit verneforslag skal det gjennomførast forhandlingar med grunneigar om avgrensing, verneforskrift og økonomisk erstatning. Områda som er foreslått for vern er kome fram gjennom ordninga med frivillig vern i skog. Det er foreløpig ikkje inngått skriftleg avtale mellom skogeigarane og staten, men skogeigarane har gitt løyve til at arbeidet med verneplanen kan setjast i gang. Før vernevedtaket vil ein avtale om erstatning forhandlast fram mellom dei berørte grunneigarane og staten.

    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.
