Download or read book Songs from Sweden written by Ola Johansson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-16 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Songs from Sweden shows how Swedish songwriters and producers are the creative forces behind much of today’s international pop music. As Ola Johansson reveals, the roots of this “music miracle” can be found in Sweden’s culture, economy, and thriving music industry, concentrated in Stockholm. While Swedish writer-producers developed early global recognition for making commercially successful pop music, new Swedish writer-producers have continuously emerged during the last two decades. Global artists travel to Stockholm to negotiate, record, and co-write songs. At the same time, Swedish writer-producers are part of a global collaborative network that spans the world. In addition to concrete commercial accomplishments, the Swedish success is also a result of the acquisition of reputational capital gained through positive associations that the global music industry holds about Swedish music. Ultimately, pop songs from Sweden exhibit a form of cultural hybridity, drawing from both local and global cultural expressions.
Download or read book Scandinavian Song written by Anna Hersey and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-08-11 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scandinavian art songs are a unique expression of the cultures of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. Although these three countries are distinct from one another, their languages and cultures share many similarities. Common themes found in art and literature include a love of nature, especially of the sea, feelings of longing and melancholy, the contrast between light and dark, the extremes of the northern climate, and lively folk traditions. These shared sensibilities are reflected and expressed in a tangible way through music. Scandinavian art song has faced several challenges over the years in North America (even in the American Midwest, where descendants of Scandinavian immigrants are concentrated). But matters have changed recently with the recent expansion of diction curricula to cover languages other than English, French, German, and Italian. The primary obstacle remains practical resources for the study of art songs and lyric diction of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. This guide remedies this problem. Scandinavian Song is a practical guide to the art songs of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. Unlike other sources that give at best a cursory overview of lyric diction in the Scandinavian languages, this guide provides practical information, enabling teachers and students to render transcriptions of Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish texts into the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)—an absolute necessity for any study of repertoire. An extensive survey of available music, sample IPA transcriptions and translations, as well as a website link with native speakers reciting selected song texts, make this book an invaluable resource for students and professors in North American college, university, and conservatory voice programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning first novel that was to become an international bestseller. Veronika, a writer in her early thirties, rents a house in the Swedish countryside to finish her novel. She is also cocooning herself from her past. She befriends Astrid, a reclusive older woman who has lived in the village all her life. Olsson leads us through the flowering of their unusual and tender friendship, as they slowly and carefully reveal their life histories and sometimes heart-rending pasts. The Swedish landscape is always a powerful presence and measures the progress of the women's relationship; as the icy winter and bare trees give way to spring and then summer, the women's friendship deepens.

Download or read book Songs of New Sweden Classic Reprint written by Arthur Peterson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of New-Sweden The first permanent settlement upon the hanks of the Delaware was made, as is well known, by the Swedes; and the whole country from the falls of the river (where now stands Trenton) to the capes was originally called New-Sweden. From the landing of Peter Minuit, in 1635, down to the time of William Penn (a period of nearly half a century) the language and customs of Sweden held almost exclusive sway along the Delaware. Now, save the old churches at Philadelphia and Wilmington, and the Swedish names which still dot the chart of the river, scarcely anything remains to tell the modern inquirer of a time which has almost escaped the pen of the legendary. Although the last four of these poems treat of events which occurred after the close of the Swedish dominion, and during the rule of the English, it has not seemed inappropriate to include them under one head with the others.
