  • Christianialiv
    Christianialiv Works from Norway’s Golden Age of wind music Christianialiv The Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces The second half of the 19th century is often called the “Golden Age” of Norwegian music. The reason lies partly in the international reputations established by Johan Svendsen and Edvard Grieg, but it also lies in the fact that musical life in Norway, at a time of population growth and economic expansion, enjoyed a period of huge vitality and creativity, responding to a growing demand for music in every genre. The Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces (to use its modern name) played a key role in this burgeoning musical life not just by performing music for all sections of society, but also by discovering and fostering musical talent in performers and composers. Johan Svendsen, Adolf Hansen, Ole Olsen and Alfred Evensen, whose music we hear on this album, can therefore be called part of the band’s history. Siste del av 1800-tallet er ofte blitt kalt «gullalderen» i norsk musikk. Det skyldes ikke bare Svendsens og Griegs internasjonale posisjon, men også det faktum at musikklivet i takt med befolkningsøkning og økonomiske oppgangstider gikk inn i en glansperiode med et sterkt behov for musikk i alle sjangre. I denne utviklingen spilte Forsvarets stabsmusikkorps en sentral rolle, ikke bare som formidler av musikkopplevelser til alle lag av befolkningen, men også som talentskole for utøvere og komponister. Johan Svendsen, Adolf Hansen, Ole Olsen og Alfred Evensen er derfor en del av korpsets egen musikkhistorie.

  • Kap. 8 Flere Store Aktører Kommer: Johan A. Røsholm, Haakon Zapffe
    Kari Michelsen: Musikkhandel i Norge Kapittel 8 Kap. 8 Flere store aktører kommer: Johan A. Røsholm Musiker og musikkhandler Johan A. Røsholm var født 1818 i Christiania, og døde der 27. desember 1893. Det foreligger sparsomt med opplysninger om ham før han åpnet sin musikkforretning i 1856, men noe vet vi. Sommeren 1836, 18 år gammel, deltok Røsholm på en av Lars Roveruds “folkeopplysningsreiser” i traktene rundt Mjøsa. I 1840- og 50-årene gav han eller medvirket som cellist ved flere konserter i hovedstaden, og han var også en tid ansatt i Christiania Theaters orkester. Senere, i 1864, deltok han på en av den kjente pianist Thomas Tellefsens konserter. Han var gift med Kaja Haagensen. 3. november 1856 åpnet Røsholm sin notehandel med noteleiebibliotek i Raadhusgd. 10, og noe senere kom også strykeinstrumenter til. Hans første leiebibliotekskatalog kom ut i desember samme år. Ifølge annonsene vokste noteleiebiblioteket med ca.1000 nr året. Noteutvalget i Røsholms forretning var i større grad enn hos forgjengerne dominert av undervisningsmusikk og “klassiske Sager” av Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn. Også “Salonsager” fantes – av komponister som Oesten og Spindler – i denne gruppen plasserte Røsholm også Chopin. Martin Andreas Udbyes ouverture til operaen Fredkulla for firhendig piano ble utgitt av Kahnt i Leipzig 1859 og samme høst, 28/10, avertert av Røsholm. I februar 1860 nevnes flere norske komponister ved siden av den jevnlige – månedlige – forsyning fra utlandet. Også hos Røsholm er det et gjennomgående trekk at musikalieutvalget var så nytt som det lot seg gjøre. Et eksempel: Dansken A. Møller utgav i 1875 en “naturmetode”, Zigeunersystemet, et slags notasjonssystem uten noter, som etter beskrivelsen var “et fornøjelsessystem med den tydeligste, prøvede og erfarne Anvisning, hvorefter Enhver i 36 Timer kan lære sig selv at spille Dandsemelodier, Salonstykker og Akkompagnement.” Del 2 kom tidlig i 1878 og ble straks etter, i februar, avertert av Røsholm.

  • Jan Dewilde Paper 2009
    Frank Van der Stucken (1858-1929): a friend of Grieg and translator of his songs Lecture for International Edvard Grieg Conference, Berlin, 13-16 May 2009 This paper fits in with a research project that is presently being implemented in the library of the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp about the composer-conductor Frank Van der Stucken. The library preserves a large collection of scores and documents of Van der Stucken, which form the basis of this research. The contacts between Edvard Grieg and the Flemish composer-pianist Arthur De Greef (1862-1940), who met in 1888, are well documented, but the piano virtuoso De Greef wasn’t Grieg’s first Flemish contact. One decade before, Grieg had already got to know an American composer with Flemish roots, namely Frank Van der Stucken. Frank Van der Stucken was born in 1858 in Fredericksburg, Texas, as the son of a Flemish father and a German mother.1 When the Secession War (1861-1865) had finished, the family no longer felt safe in Texas and in 1865 they returned to father Van der Stucken’s native town of Antwerp (Belgium). There Van der Stucken junior studied at the Flemish School of Music – the later Royal Flemish Conservatoire. He was a student of the director Peter Benoit (1834-1901), the standard bearer of nationalist music in Flanders. After his studies with Benoit, Van der Stucken went to Leipzig in 1878, like so many of his contemporaries, with a view to continuing his formation with Carl Reinecke. That’s where he first met Grieg, who became his friend.

En fellesbiografi Forfatter: Nina Steihaug https://bora.uib.no/ IV Sammendrag/Summary The title of the thesis is: A Marriage of Musicians. Agathe Backer Grøndahl and Olaus Andreas Grøndahl. A Collective Biography. The theme is the marriage of Agathe Backer Grøndahl (1847– 1907) and Olaus Andreas Grøndahl (1847–1923) (also known as O. A. Grøndahl and Olam Grøndahl) of Kristiania1 in Norway. The couple were married in 1875 and both were prominent musicians during the second half of the 19th century. Agathe was a famous pianist with an international career, a prolific composer of piano and songs and a piano teacher for a new generation of Norwegian professional pianists. Olam started his musical career as a singer, a tenor soloist, and composer, but later acted as a choir master and conductor of several male and mixed choirs and served as a music teacher at numerous schools. He also participated in the development of the music teaching in Norway, acting for the Government, at the time of the formation of the new national state. The couple lived in Kristiania, had three children and led a comparatively quiet home life, but travelled extensively at times, mostly on separate musical tours. The problem addressed is how a married woman by the end of the 19th century could be a professional musician, a public figure and earn her own money for the support of the family, take her space in the public sphere as an extremely popular concert pianist and at the same time being a conventional upper society housewife.

  • Ole Olsen (Geb
    Ole Olsen (geb. Hammerfest, 4. Juli 1850 - gest. Oslo, 4. November 1927) Petite Suite Vorwort Ole Olsen kann als der am gründlichsten vergessene norwegische Komponist der Grieg- Generation bezeichnet werden. Allein die Tatsache, dass er in relevanten Quellen hartnäckig als "Militärmusiker" (1) apostrophiert wird, zeigt, wie wenig das Gesamtschaffen Olsens heute in der Diskussion ist. Elektronische Quellen weichen teils stark voneinander ab – man vergleiche unter diesem Aspekt einmal die norwegischen, die schwedische, die englische und die finnische Seite der Netzenzyklopädie wikipedia – und Beschreibungen seines Lebens schließen gewöhnlich um die Jahrhundertwende (2). Es ist müßig, bei so gut wie unbekannten Werken darüber zu streiten, was denn wohl das oder die Hauptwerk(e) eines Komponisten seien. Was heute in Norwegen von Olsen noch bekannt ist, ist das Lied Sonnenuntergang aus der Oper Svein Uræd nach dem norwegischen Pädagogen Nordahl Rolfsen (1848-1928), von diesem selbst als Märchenkomödie bezeichnet, sowie die 11 Klavierstücke, die die Grundlage für die hier vorliegende Suite bilden (3). Olsens Werkliste macht deutlich, dass er keineswegs als Militärmusiker in Erinnerung bleiben wollte. Es darf auch bezweifelt werden, ob ihm die Stelle eines "Musikinspektors im öffentlichen Schulwesen", mit der er 1899-1920 sein Leben fristete, eine Lebensaufgabe war – was immer das überhaupt sein mochte. Olsens Feld war die Bühne. Er schrieb fünf Opern, teils auf eigene Texte, von denen jedoch nur zwei jemals vollständig aufgeführt wurden. Schiffbruch

  • Musical Treasure Chest #21
    Musical Treasure Chest #21 There is no denying that fall is nigh: the days are noticeably shorter and the evening breezes are unmistakably cooler. The deep green foliage is beginning to look tired and be replaced by hints of amber; the fields of corn are withering, and vegetable stands transition to pumpkins. Perhaps because of the autumnal proximity I programmed an entirely Scandinavian program for our live stream this week. I have always had a deep connection with Nordic music--discovering the Sibelius symphonies as a freshman in college was a revelation and later getting familiar with the music of Carl Nielsen was equally satisfying. I love the brooding, majestic, dark and churning qualities of their music, which sounds to me like their landscapes and long nights. Even today, the classical music of Scandinavia remains rather underrepresented in concert programming, relegated to a few familiar names and pieces. As much as I enjoy Grieg, I have grown weary of his wonderful piano concerto, I have heard it a bit too often. And, Sibelius, with his amazing oeuvre of works, seems to be confined to performances of Finlandia and the Karelia Suite, which have become nearly pops pieces, while ignoring much of the other repertory (OK, I do admit there are lots of performances of his violin concerto and first and second symphonies). But what about other Scandinavian composers? There are lots of them....I thought today I would focus on Johan Svendsen, a violinist, conductor and composer I stumbled onto during my long overnight shifts at WMHT back in the 1980s.

  • Trombone Music of Scandinavia: a Study of Trombone Solo and Chamber Works from Sweden, Norway, and Denmark
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: TROMBONE MUSIC OF SCANDINAVIA: A STUDY OF TROMBONE SOLO AND CHAMBER WORKS FROM SWEDEN, NORWAY, AND DENMARK Zenas Kim-Banther, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2016 Dissertation directed by: Professor Chris Gekker, Wind and Percussion Division This dissertation project aims to establish Scandinavian trombone solo and chamber works as a major contribution to the trombone repertoire. From the late 19th century to modern day, Scandinavian composers have produced a steady output of trombone works of substantial musical quality. Deep-rooted in the traditions of strong military wind bands, Scandinavia has also produced an unusual number of trombone virtuosos, ranging from those holding positions in leading orchestras, and internationally renowned pedagogues, to trombonists enjoying careers as soloists. In this study I propose that it is the symbiotic relationship between strong performers and traditionally nationalist composers that created the fertile environment for the large number of popular trombone solo and chamber repertoire not seen in any other region besides the Paris Conservatory and its infamous test pieces. I also interpret the selected repertoire through the prism of nationalism and influence of folk music, and convey that the allure of the mystic Nordic folk influences enhances the appeal of the Scandinavian trombone repertoire to world-wide audiences and performers. The dissertation project was realized over three solo recitals, each showcasing the music of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark respectively. For each program, I looked to choose a standard work from the trombone solo repertoire, a work written for or by a native virtuoso, and a lesser-known work that warrants the attention of other performers for its musical qualities.

    The Bridal Party in managed to convey his own Western Norwegian Hardanger/Brudeferden i nature and traditions. ”No other film I have made has given me as much pleasure as this one,” he Hardanger stated. Thursday 15 April, 6pm In its original form, the film has been destroyed. This is a reconstruction of Rasmus Breistein’s film Norway 1926 from 1926. The composer Halldor Krogh Director: RAsmus Briestein reconstructed the silent film music, and arranged it Presented with a new music score by Halldor Krogh for a major orchestra. It is here performed by the 74 min Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra. Jan Anders Diesen Introduced by Jan-Anders Diesen & Halldor Krogh The Music The music for the The Bridal Party in Hardanger is based on the music cue sheet that conductor Micha Benedikoff made for the movie’s opening night on December 26th 1926 in Oslo. The music list specified which pieces of music were to be performed for different scenes.
