Nordanvind
is a tour de force
symphonic rhapsody that
is built on three
Scandinavian folk songs.
Composer Carl Strommen
has composed these
Viking-influenced
melodies into a concert
setting that brings out
all of the history of the
Scandinavian people. The
piece is at times bold
and aggressive, at other
times beautiful. Carl
employs all of the
instrumental colors of
the concert band to
create a new work for
more advanced
ensembles. Modern
Scandinavians are
descendants of the
Vikings, an adventuresome
people who were known for
their love of the sea,
their naval prowess, and
as fierce fighters . The
Scandinavian Vikings were
warriors from Denmark,
Norway, and Sweden who
traded, raided and
settled in various parts
of Europe, Russia, the
North Atlantic islands,
and the northeastern
coast of North America
.Starting around 1850,
over one million Swedes
left their homeland for
the United States in
search of religious
freedom and open farm
land . Augustana College
was founded in 1860 by
graduates of Swedish
universities and is
located on the
Mississippi River in Rock
Island, Illinois . Home
of the
“Vikings,â€
Augustana College is the
oldest Swedish- American
institution of higher
learning in the United
States . This powerful
and lively piece takes
inspiration from Swedish
history and from Swedish
folk songs and hymns
.Havsdrake (Dragon of the
Sea)The Nordanvind or
“North Windâ€
blows a cold wind during
a journey of a group of
courageous Viking rowers
. The
“Dragon-shipâ€
or long ships designed
for raiding and war was a
sophisticated, fast ship
able to navigate in very
shallow water . To
musically portray these
magnificent seafaring
vessels, the director is
encouraged to use an
Ocean Drum (or a rain
stick) during the
introduction . Wind
players may consider
blowing air through their
instruments to suggest
the North wind . Adding
men’s voices to
accompany the haunting
low brass and percussive
“rowerâ€
sounds can be helpful in
creating the dark and
ominous portrayal of
Viking adventurers
.Slangpolska efter Byss -
KalleIn Sweden, a
“polska†is a
partner dance where the
dancers spin each other
(släng in Swedish
“to sling or
tossâ€) .
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle is attributed to
Byss-Kalle, who was a
notable Swedish folk
musician, specifically a
nyckelharpa player .
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle is a traditional
“polskaâ€
dance song most often
played on the Nyckelharpa
or keyed fiddle and is
commonly heard in pubs
and at festive events
throughout Sweden .
Approximately 10,000
nyckelharpa players live
in Sweden today, and the
Swedish and the American
Nyckelharpa Associations
are dedicated to this
Swedish National
instrument . The director
is encouraged to share
video and audio examples
of the nyckelharpa
playing the original
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle .Tryggare Kan Ingen
Vara (Children of the
Heavenly Father)Tryggare
Kan Ingen Vara Is a
traditional Swedish
melody, possibly of
German roots, and was
believed to be arranged
as a hymn by the Swedish
hymn writer, Karolina
Wilhelmina Sandell-Berg
(1832–1903) . As a
daughter of a Swedish
Lutheran minister, she
began writing poems as a
teenager and is said to
have written over 1,700
different texts . There
are two different
accounts as to the
inspiration for this hymn
. The first story is that
Lina (as she was called)
wrote the hymn to honor
her father and to say
thank you to him for
raising her and
protecting her . A second
belief is of her
witnessing the tragic
death of her father . She
and her father were on a
boat, when a wave threw
her father overboard . It
was said that the
profound effect of
watching her father drown
is what caused Lina to
write the text to this
hymn . Although this is a
treasured song to people
of Swedish descent
everywhere, it speaks to
all people about a father
tending and nourishing
his children, and
protecting them from evil
.SPS71FThe Augustana

Annette
et Lubin
Justine
Favart and Adolphe
Blaise'sAnnette et
Lubinwas premiered on 15
February 1762 at the
Paris Opera-Comique - the
first new production at
that theater following
its merger with the
Comedie-Italien. It was a
resounding success: by
the time the season came
to an end, on 3 April, it
had been almost
continuously on the
program with no decline
in interest from the
public, and it remained
in the repertoire for
more than thirty years.
Countless new editions,
translations, and
parodies of the play bear
witness to its impact far
beyond the borders of
Paris. Like all of
Favart's works, it deals
with the subject of
natural love,
unencumbered by
considerations of money
or social status
endangering it from the
outside through powerful
aristocratic or wealthy
rivals. The plot is based
on a literary model, the
like-named tale by
Jean-Francois Marmontel,
which is in turn based on
a contemporary
occurrence.
Annette and her
cousin Lubin are sharply
reprimanded for their
love by an estate
administrator (Le Bailli)
who himself has designs
on Annette. He takes
advantage of Annette's
illegitimate pregnancy to
extort her: only by
marrying him can she
escape condemnation by
society and the church.
But Annette and her lover
are able to gain the
protection of the local
squire (Le Seigneur), and
the story ends happily
with a conciliatory
gesture from the lord of
the manor.
The
second volume in our
series OPERA, Annette et
Lubin, consists of a
cloth-bound book and an
Edirom file stored on a
USB card in credit-card
format. The number of
simultaneous users of the
edition's digital

OPERA: Spectrum
of European Music Theatre
in Separate Editions is
dedicated to critical
editions of outstanding
works of European music
theatre from the 17th to
the 20th centuries.
Compositions of
French, Italian, German,
English, Scandinavian and
Slavic origin are being
edited. These include
specific genres which
have seldom been given
attention in editorial
undertakings until now
and which present their
own editorial problems,
such as ballet, theatre
music, melodrama or
operetta.
A new
feature is the form of
the presentation in
so-called hybrid
editions. While the
scores appear in
traditional cloth-bound
volumes, the musical and
textual sources, the
editions of the dramatic
texts, as well as the
critical commentaries are
prepared and presented on
an electronic platform
(Edirom). Thanks to
this ability to access
the underlying sources,
the editorial decisions
are completely
transparent to the
user.
This
special editorial access
being implemented by
OPERA's editions uses the
software Edirom, which
was developed in a
project of the Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft
(German Research
Foundation) based at the
University of Paderborn.
All components of the
electronic part are
encoded according to the
modern standard of XML.
The text components
follow the standard of
the Text Encoding
Initiative (TEI).

In this
bittersweet fable of
grief and renewal.
Benjamin and Crimp tell
the story of a woman who
has lost her child: if,
before nightfall, she
meets one truly happy
person and cuts a button
from their sleeve, her
child will live again. In
her search she meets a
pair of lovers, a
composer and their
assistant, an artisan,
collector, and, in a
beautiful garden, the
mysterious Zabelle.
Benjamin proves
with this taut, sharp
miniature that he is the
finest opera composer of
todayâ¦a work of
depth of feeling,
humanistic artistry, and
expressive rigorâ¦a
drama that is
miraculously condensed.

The
three-act operetta LA
RONDINE (The Swallow) by
Giacomo Puccini
(1858-1924) was first
completed in 1916 and
premiered at the Grand
Théâtre de Monte Carlo
on March 27, 1917. It
tells the story of Magda,
a Parisian courtesan, who
is torn between more
transactional love she
has chosen and the
romantic love of a wife
with the young man
Ruggero, whom she meets
at a small house party of
her protector Rambaldo,
then again at a Paris
nightspot. After leaving
to live with Ruggero for
some time, she flees back
to Rambaldo when Ruggero
proposes marriage,
declaring that she cannot
keep her past a secret
and she will not allow
her previous life to
bring grief to both
Ruggero and his parents.
Never satisfied, Puccini
revised the operetta in
both 1920 and 1921,
altering the ending each
time, and he passed
before he settled on the
definitive version. The
beautiful tenor aria
PARIGI! È LA CITTÀ DEI
DESIDERI (Paris! It is
the city of desire) was
not included in the
original libretto and
added by Puccini to give
Ruggero, the romantic
lead, something to do in
the first act. While it
does not move the plot
forward, the aria does
quickly endear listeners
to the Ruggero character.
The aria was later cut
from the opera and is not
usually heard in staged
versions, although the
music was used again with
different text in
Puccini's 1917 song
MORIRE?, S. 89. This
edition of the aria by
Michael Kaye is from the
second version (1920) of
the opera.

The ballet
La Bayadère (The
Temple Dancer or The
Temple Maiden) was
created in 1877 for famed
French choreographer
Marius Petipa to music by
Ludwig Minkus
(1826-1917). In four act
and seven tableaux, the
ballet tells the story of
the bayadère Nikiya
and the warrior Solor,
lovers who are beset by
jealous rivals, arranged
marriages beyond their
control, murder, an
opium-fueled
hallucination of the
afterlife, and a vengeful
god that destroys the
temple and everybody in
it as revenge for
Nikiya's murder. It was
first performed on
February 4, 1877, by the
Imperial Ballet in St.
Petersburg, Russia. It
was hailed as a success
and masterpiece
immediately after the
premiere, particularly
The Kingdom of the Shades
scene in Act II, an
excerpt which remains a
major standalone work for
the ballet repertoire.
Modern performances of La
Bayadère are almost
always derived from a
1941 version sated for
the Kirov/Mariinsky
Ballet by Vladimir
Ponomarev and Vakhtang
Chabukiani, which
incorporates additional
music by Minkus, Drigo,
and Pugni. Act II takes
place after Nikiya is
killed by a concealed
venomous snake. A
depressed Solor smokes
opium, resulting in a
vision of Nikiya's spirit
dwelling in the Kingdom
of the Shades, a nirvana
in the Himalayas. The two
lovers reconcile among
the shades of other
bayadères in a Pas de
deux, then Solor is
awakened just in time for
his arranged marriage to
another woman. This
orchestration of Act II
has been completed by
William McDermott.

The
career of Jan Ladislav
Dussek (1760-1812) was
notable for its
peripateticism. Starting
out in his native Bohemia
Dussek spent periods of
time in Germany and the
Netherlands, settling in
London for about ten
years in the 1790s,
progressing to Hamburg
and ending his days in
Paris. Although his
activities centred on the
piano, like so many
musicians of his day
Dussek branched out from
performing and composing
to encompass teaching,
publishing and instrument
retail, with varying
success. A plethora of
reviews and biographical
accounts attest to
Dussek’s renown
throughout Europe as a
pianist and composer,
particularly when it came
to sensitive and
cantabile playing; and he
interacted with some of
the most eminent
musicians, artists and
political figures of his
time. Dussek’s
reputation declined
sharply in the nineteenth
century, however, and
with the exception of
isolated revivals of his
work, for instance in
London in the
mid-nineteenth century,
he has remained on the
verge of obscurity in the
minds of many musicians
and music-lovers until
the present day: even his
well-known innovation of
placing the piano
sideways-on to the
audience to display his
striking profile is often
mistakenly attributed to
Franz Liszt. Although
Dussek has provided the
subject of a number of
student dissertations
over the years, in the
published literature he
has largely been
restricted to cameo
appearances or brief
entries in historical
surveys. The
bicentennial anniversary
of Dussek’s death
provides a fitting
occasion for bringing
together scholars from
all parts of the world to
produce the first
multi-author,
multi-lingual study of
the composer. Several
chapters deal with
aspects of
Dussek’s biography
and iconography that
receive only sparse
treatment elsewhere;
others survey the
different branches of his
output, including the
piano sonatas, the piano
concertos, the chamber
music with and without
harp and the three String
Quartets, Op. 60, which
are currently enjoying a
revival via recordings
and a new edition.
This book has two
fundamental aims. One is
to stimulate renewed
interest in, and debate
about, a less than
celebrated – one
might say unjustly
neglected –
figure. The other aim is
to approach
Dussek’s
multi-facetted,
geographically diverse
career as an interface
between ourselves and the
music business at the
beginning of the
nineteenth century, whose
complexity and
vicissitudes emanated
from the sociological
dynamics and political
events with which Dussek
was, to an almost unique
degree, inextricably
associated. The highs and
lows of Dussek’s
career, the surviving
contemporary accounts of
Dussek the performer and
composer, and the letters
he exchanged with
colleagues in several
nations vividly portray
the struggles of a
worldly, ambitious,
versatile and extremely
perspicacious musician
striving to carve out a
place of eminence and
material security for
himself. This meant
negotiating the complex
progression, underway at
this point in history,
from the patronage system
to the emergence of the
artist as a socially and
financially autonomous
entity.

The
story centres on the
English princess Caroline
Mathilde (1751-1775),
sister of George III, who
at the age of 15 was sent
to Denmark to marry the
17-year-old eccentric and
schizophrenic Danish
King, Christian VII. The
ballet portrays her
unhappy marriage, the
King's growing madness
and her fatal love-affair
with Struensee, the
King's influential
physician, which leads to
their arrest, his
execution and her exile,
at the age of 20,
separated from her two
young children. This
suite begins with the
act's opening number: a
boisterous, stamping
dance to which the people
rudely mock Queen
Caroline Mathilde and her
lover Struensee. After
this comes a dark Adagio,
The Conspiracy, in which
the theme passes like
persuasion from mouth to
mouth, its variations
suggesting the different
attitudes of the
conspirators, firmly
controlled by the
brass-driven gestures of
the Queen Dowager. The
conspiracy then works
itself out at a court
masked ball, from which
the suite includes two
dances: a gavotte, and a
slow, lubricious
passacaglia that is a pas
de deux for Caroline
Mathilde and Struensee.
The Arrest comes with a
gathering rush of music
that envelops the King,
the Queen and Struensee,
leading to a vociferous
climax in which they are
held apart. In The
Execution, slow white
music for wordless female
voices, harp and low
strings is interrupted by
pathetic, alienated
outbursts from the King.
The suite ends, as does
the ballet, with a quiet
adagio lament for
clarinets and alto flute
as the Queen goes into
exile. Score. Duration c.
33mins.

Handel set
the myth about the love
of the shepherd Acis for
the sea nymph Galatea
from Ovid’s
“Metamorphosesâ€
a total of three
times: in the cantata
“Aci, Galatea e
Polifemo†HWV 72
(1708), the masque
“Acis and
Galatea†HWV 49a
(1718) and finally the
pasticcio-like serenata
“Acis and
Galatea†HWV 49b
(1732) of which the
original version is now
made available in its
complete form for the
first time.
A
particular charm is
provided by the use of
two languages in the
serenata. The work was
originally conceived in
English, as was required
for the first
performance. However,
Handel’s Italian
singers were criticised
for their poor command of
English, – so in
the end, many numbers
were sung in Italian.
The extensive
appendix to the vocal
score includes the
additional arias and
newly composed movements
for the versions used in
the 1734 and 1736
performances.
