Hope Plays His Swan Song in Savannah in an Epic Exit

In Denmark we have many Bank Holidays in the spring. Not many people are actively Christians but they would be reluctant to see these holidays cancelled. One of these special days is this so-called “Great Day of Prayer” this Friday 30 days after Easter. The day before on Thursday evening we have a tradition is that you get warm fresh bread rolls.

Varme hveder fra bloggen maden i mit liv Anne-Kathrine

In former times the prayer day was also day when people were fasting. The baker shops were closed so these freshly baked rolls were bought in advance the day before. In Copenhagen it was a custom to go out for walks on the green banks. This custom started in the 1700s because of the beautiful bell ringing from our cathedral of Copenhagen and the green landscape of spring.

A poet Poul Martin Moeller (1794-1838) from the Romantic period wrote a spring song that I loved as a child. It’s connected with this holiday as he is describing his longing for love as he watches the young women walking in the green spring evening. I have always been a kind of lonely type so I identified with the young poet when I was young. I bought the song performed by the Danish Radio Girl Choir for you to hear.

In Denmark we have a treasure of songs like that on the four seasons, nature and Christianity and the whole population knew these songs and they were song on many occasions at schools and at meetings and at family gatherings. The melodies were used with new texts made specific for a celebration in the families. My maternal grandfather was very skilled in that and could make poetry to every situation in the family like at christening, birthdays and weddings and wedding anniversaries. Since the seventies children have not learnt these fine songs at schools any more so when somebody has written a song not all can sing it.

I would like to show you a slide show from Copenhagen with my pictures taken some years ago.

The song is called “Green is the hedge of spring”. I have translated it so you can have an idea. Unfortunately I haven’t practiced to make rhymes. I just wanted you to understand the text.

The hedge of spring is green

The cloak is thrown away

Maidens flock to the banks in the sun

The air is so clear

Their desire is seen on their silk dresses

The lapwing is hatching its eggs

The willows are growing beards

The violet peeps out at the bank 

The goose with her small ones teaches them to walk

The magpie wawes its tail in the wind

The fellow with his bride enters the garden

On her green shoes she seems to dance

Oh so light

Her feet are so neat

The boy is selling green wreathes

The stork is busy

High on the farmer’s gable

The red feet sharpen his beak

The butcher with his wife

Walks leisurely with his silver plated “meerschaum” pipe

Lovely little maidens

Red, white, blue

Send their glances like darts

and like war flags

In the affectionate cape 

Silk ribbons are waving from the lily neck

Evening is arriving

while the beauties walk away

Let them not catch a cold

What a lovely stream 

The bosom is tender

My heart can be felt on the waist-coat 

In the silent night

As a huge ducat

The moon sprinkles gold on all branches

Alas the lovely ones disappeared from everywhere 

It’s hard to walk home alone

The most used melody is by our composer Niels W. Gade whom we celebrate this years on his 200 years’ anniversary. Carl Nielsen our most famous composer also put this poem into melody.

I found some  Koebke paintings from the Romantic period at the mid 1800s painted a few years after the poem was written. The paintings are all from Copenhagen.

The Great Day of Prayer In Denmark we have many Bank Holidays in the spring. Not many people are actively Christians but they would be reluctant to see these holidays cancelled.

What is NEO-MEDIEVAL MUSIC? What does NEO-MEDIEVAL MUSIC mean? NEO-MEDIEVAL MUSIC meaning - NEO-MEDIEVAL MUSIC definition - NEO-MEDIEVAL MUSIC explanation. Source: Wikipedia.org article, adapted under http://ift.tt/yjiNZw license. Neo-Medieval music (sometimes referred to as dungeon synth) is a modern popular music characterized by elements of Medieval music and early music in general. Music styles within neo-Medieval music vary from authentic performance interpretations of Medieval music (understood as Classical music) to crossover genres that blend Medieval instruments, such as bagpipe, shawm and hurdy-gurdy with electronic music and rock. In many cases, it is more or less overlapping with styles such as folk rock, electric folk and neofolk. Bands specializing in neo-Medieval music are particularly plentiful in Germany, although the genre also enjoys some popularity in North America, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, France, United Kingdom, Italy and the Scandinavian countries. It is difficult to point to an exact beginning of neo-Medieval music. One could argue that all Medieval-sounding tunes written after the actual Middle Ages are in some way neo-Medieval music; this definition would include music from as early as the Renaissance and onwards. Other examples of early neo-Medievalism in music would also include a number of Romantic composers such as Niels W. Gade, Edvard Grieg, and Felix Mendelssohn (who often used Medieval- and folk-style tunes in their music), as well as parts of the Carmina Burana by Carl Orff, and many movie soundtracks from the 20th century. However, as a popular music form, the birth of neo-Medieval music is closely connected with the folk rock and roots music movement of the 1960s and 1970s. In many countries in Europe musicians sought to find their cultural roots, reviving music that had largely died out as a result of centuries of industrialization, and decades of exposure to United States music styles like jazz and rock. The founding of the German band Ougenweide in 1970 is particularly important in this respect. Ougenweide revived many distinctly German and European genres, such as the Minnesang, and other examples of courtly love poetry and music. It is interesting to compare Ougenweide's approach to music with that of their contemporary kraut rock bands, especially Kraftwerk. Both sought to recreate German culture which they felt had been compromised by Nazism and World War II. But whereas Kraftwerk took music creation to an entirely new level, Ougenweide would revive ancient music and play types of instruments that, at least in Northern Europe, had been out of use for centuries. In Great Britain, too, prog rock bands like Jethro Tull would often write songs with a Medieval touch to them. It was not until the late 1980s, however, that neo-medieval music would arise as an entire genre of its own, replete with a subculture following. The Australian outfit Dead Can Dance who released most of their most famous works in the latter half of the 1980s was another early influence on the scene. Dead Can Dance had a far more pompous and symphonic sound than previous acts, and, although never considering themselves to be a Goth band, were mostly popular among Goths. This formed the precedence of neo-Medieval music being particular popular in the Goth scene. 1989 saw the formation of the German band Corvus Corax, two members of which were on the run from the disintegrating East German regime. Throughout the 1990s Corvus Corax would go on to have a profound effect on the state of neo-Medieval music. Corvus Corax, along with other bands, started the now immensely popular strategy of combining medieval music with electronic music. More recently, the band Extra Life has combined aspects of early music with the modern genre of math rock. Neo-medieval or Neo-Renassiance qualities have also been featured in contemporary music composers like Mamoru Fujieda and Michael Waller, with their use of modal cells and subtle counterpoint.
