Got another tattoo 6 days ago.

I'm in my "I need cosy and serotonin"-era so I combined the book character that gives me cute agression with an indirect reference to my favourite cosy show and love for ceramics and my favourite beverage.

Meet my Snöfrid aus dem Wiesental /the great pottery throwdown/ Raku /coffee tattoo 💖

Also yes one of the reasons he's looking like that is because as we know from the show Raku fired ceramics aren't food or drink safe due to the low temperature during firing.

Snöfrid aus dem Wiesental: Die wahrlich rätselhafte Spur zum Vogelfelsen – Andreas H. Schmachtl (Sprecher: Bernd Stephan)

Dass Snöfrid ein Hilferuf ereilt, ist ja an sich nichts Neues. Doch dieses Mal bittet Rosalie, eine gute alte Freundin, den Nordland-Retter um Beistand. Sämtliche Papageientaucher sind über Nacht vom Vogelfelsen verschwunden. Einfach weg! So schnell er kann, reist Snöfrid zusammen mit seinem Kumpel Björn an die Steilküste. Doch während einer ersten Erkundung der grünen Insel mitten im Meer…

Elfrida Andrée

Elfrida Andrée, compositrice, è stata la prima donna svedese a dirigere un’orchestra sinfonica.

Tra le prime organiste ufficialmente riconosciute in Scandinavia, nel 1899 ha composto l’opera Fritiofs saga con libretto di Selma Lagerlöf, scrittrice premio Nobel per la Letteratura.

Nata a Visby il 19 febbraio 1841, la musica ha fatto parte della sua vita sin da bambina.

A sedici anni aveva già conseguito il diploma di organista presso la Reale Accademia di Musica ma alle donne non era permesso di esercitare.

C’è voluto tempo e tenacia, affinché riuscisse a far eliminare l’ostacolo legislativo, nel 1861.

Dal 1867 è stata l’organista ufficiale della Cattedrale di Göteborg.

Per perseguire il suo sogno si è scontrata con i pregiudizi maschili, il compositore danese Niels Gade, all’inizio, l’aveva osteggiata in ogni modo per poi cambiare idea quando si era reso conto di avere a che fare con un considerevole talento.

Elfrida Andrée ha diretto circa ottocento Concerti popolari e prodotto oltre cento brani.

Nel 1895 ha vinto il premio Litteris et Artibus e nel 1908 è entrata a far parte dell’Accademia delle donne.

Eletta nell’Accademia Reale di Musica, nel 1897, venne nominata a capo dei Concerti dell’Istituto dei lavoratori di Göteborg, diventando la prima donna in Svezia a dirigere un’orchestra sinfonica.

Attiva nel movimento per i diritti delle donne, ha formato diverse musiciste sostenendo la loro presenza nel mondo dell’interpretazione e della composizione musicale.

Ha scritto diversi componimenti per orchestra tra cui due sinfonie (suonate ancora oggi), diversi pezzi per violino e per pianoforte, due messe svedesi, la ballata corale Snöfrid del 1879 e diversi lieder.

Si è spenta l’11 gennaio 1929 a Göteborg.

Sibelius to Gunnar

Forget gladness

Forgo regret

Wage the unwinnable war

And die a nameless death.

That's the true end of the hero's quest

Don't ache for the island of the blessed.

-- from Snöfrid Opus 29 by Jean Sibelius, 1900

(heard on replay of BBC Prom of July 14, 2023)

Navalny didn't die a nameless death.

Still plenty of heroes do.

[ljussangen]

vid kusten samlas kvinnofolk för att få sin man i jord röster ekar i själen tung men från munnar inga ord

en rustning kall av stelnat blod lades fram vid hennes barm den visar spår av hjältemod fast tomt är järnet i arm

så hon lät kasta sin slöja lät vinden ta vid krafter ger vika i ben den skrift lärde prisar vår rikshövitsman han ska ristas i vackraste sten

låt fåglar få sjunga ditt namn genom skyn låt fåglar få bära din dröm till ädlaste krigare till ädlaste dräkt skall ditt namn aldrig falla i glöm

en färgad rustning ett minne blott ner i graven sänks en sista fanfar, trumpeter, gevär gör så att ögonen sakta de dränks

luften är kvav, tårarna är slut men i tysthet hörs fåglarnas sång vi ska föra hans namn genom stormarnas vind vi skall följa hans steg genom dödsrikets gång

så hon lät kasta sin slöja lät vinden ta vid bönder med fanan så sträckt den skrift lärde prisar vår rikshövitsman stolta Engelbrekt

de lät fåglar få sjunga hans namn genom skyn till bönder av ädlaste dräkt från ädlaste krigare av ädlaste släkt stolta Engelbrekt!

en skugga söker genom löv hans grav har blivit täckt vild djur håller stilla vakt när sol har blivit släckt

vid ängens slut en örn slog ner skarpt var vingen sträckt en hälsning genom vinden sjöng vi minns dig Engelbrekt

så hon lät kasta sin slöja lät vinden ta vid bönder med fanan så sträckt den skrift lärde prisar vår rikshövitsman stolta Engelbrekt

de lät fåglar få sjunga hans namn genom skyn till bönder av ädlaste dräkt från ädlaste krigare av ädlaste släkt stolta Engelbrekt!

Bereits vor einem Jahr zeigte ich euch den ersten Band des ganz und gar ungewöhnlichen Lebensweges dieses knuddeligen Wesens. Aus dem Hause Arena startete nun schon 2017 die zweite Reise von Snöfrid. Kleine Anmerkung an dieser Stelle: Es gibt sogar schon einen dritten Band, den wir uns sicher bald anschaffen werden ;) Aber nun zu diesem tollen Vorlesebuch.

Dalia Stasevska, the Finnish principal conductor of the Lahti Symphony Orchestra after tonight’s concert in this year’s Sibelius Festival from Lahti’s perfect Sibelius Hall. She is also the festival’s artistic director and she presided over taught and exciting but also delicately moving performances of Sibelius’ Pelléas Ja Mélisande and two of the composer’s rarely performed melodramas, The Wood-Nymph (Metsänhaltija/Skogsrået) and Snöfrid for narrator and chorus (Somnium Ensemble Choir) with rousing performances of the Swedish words recited dramatically by actors, Dick Idman and Alma Pöysti. Gripping tales of love’s cruelty and war’s realities, richly poignant for these troubled times. Dalia Stasevska and her orchestra come back for the last two orchestral concerts in this year’s festival with three of Sibelius’ supreme masterpieces, Tapiola and the symphonies nos 4 and 7.
