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.

Ylva Snofrid (Ogland) - Study for Snöfrid, Marionette doll

[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!

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.

I just saw your bio, why can’t you watch Vikings anymore? Also I love the new URL

Haha, thank you :) I love my new URL

As for your first question…This got long so I’m putting it below the cut. Sorry if I come across as annoyed / angry. That’s what thinking about season 5A does to me. 

Spoilers for Vikings in case this pops up in the feed of anyone that hasn’t caught up with season 5.

TW mention of rape, mention of abuse.

The quality of this show has deteriorated so much since the first season.

When Lagertha is almost raped by Knut in the first season, Ragnar later takes the blame saying that he is the one who killed Knut even though it was Lagertha who did it in self defense. The point is, that Ragnar is freed of the murder charge when it is revealed that Knut tried to rape Lagertha. It is established that he had the right to kill the man that assaulted his wife, who is a free woman. Clearly, Hirst throws this out the window later because when Lagertha’s second husband publicly abuses her no one bats an eye until she kills him. And then there’s the whole thing with Astrid that I’ll get back to later.

In season 5A, Björn and Halfdan’s storyline just feels completely out of place. It’s just…there. All it does is show us just how little Björn cares about Kattegatt and his family because he couldn’t even be bothered with stopping by to say “hi” to Torvi and the kids. This is even further solidified when he starts to eyefuck Snöfrid before he’s even had the decency to tell Torvi he doesn’t love her anymore. And his marriage to Snöfrid serves no purpose either. She speaks twice in the entire season, one of those times she’s just screaming “Father!”.

Margrethe is going crazy…No offense to the actress, based on what I know about Ida she seems like a lovely person but I don’t think she’s a very good actress. Another example of Hirst making sure that his female characters will be disliked. If you’re not a man or Lagertha he doesn’t give a shit. Margrethe will probably die soon but not to worry; there’s going to be a new blonde slave girl that’s involved with one of Ragnar’s sons.

I don’t even know where to start with Astrid. She was abducted, coerced into marrying Harald, then found out that her husband means to join forces with Ivar and attack her former lover, then she is raped because she wanted to warn Lagertha of the upcoming attack. But wait, it gets worse. She’s pregnant. When Astrid, understandably, isn’t over the moon about her new situation, Harald is portrayed as the poor sad man who was just so happy to be married and become a father. The official instagram account has tried to portray them as if they’re just this super cute couple but they’re not. I think Hirst said something about how everyone who died in episode 10 were ready to die. Bull. Shit. Astrid was suicidal, and in my opinion that’s quite different from being ready to die. Can ANY of the female characters ever catch a break?

And before someone says some shit about how rape is a part of the world and that it happens every day all over the world: I am very intimately familiar with rape so you don’t need to tell me that it exists, thank you very much. But it is a sensitive matter which Hirst clearly doesn’t know how to handle.

I can’t cosign Hirst’s shit anymore. I’ve unfollowed the official account and the actors on all social media. I might watch an episode here or there but as for the waiting with anticipation until the episode drops on HBO Nordic, I’m done. The show’s canon pretty much doesn’t exist for me right now, at least not the newest parts of it.

Disclaimer: Yes, I’ve written problematic shit too and unhealthy relationships. But unlike Hirst I am aware of it and actually try to tag appropriately and warn people. Plus I am open to criticism.

Now that Ellisif is dead

(and I'm really sad about this) Maybe we can have another wife of Harald's and another beautiful saga around him. It's the saga of him and his beloved wife Snøfrid Svåsesdotter Read here: King Harald Fairhair met the Sami woman Snøfrid when he was celebrating Yule at the Tofte farm at the foot of the Dovre mountains. This is recorded in Snorre’s sagas of the Norse kings. Dovre has a central place in the oldest myths about Norway and the origins of its people, heroes, kings and chieftain families. In the Middle Ages pilgrims from all over Europe passed through this area on their way to Nidaros. 25. One winter king Harald went to stay in Uppland and arranged a Yule-celebration for himself on the farm Tofte. On Christmas Eve, as the king sat at table, Svaasi came to the doorway. He sent a word to the king to come out to see him, but the king became annoyed over the message, and the same messenger brought the king’s anger back to Svaasi. But Svaasi asked undisturbed that they should bring the message once again, and said that he was the finn (sami), who the king had allowed to raise a lodge on the other side of the hill. The king went outside and promised to visit him, and went over the hill to his lodge. Some of his men told him to go, while others advised him not to go. At his arrival, Svaasi’s beautiful daughter, Snöfrid, stood up, and filled a bowl to the rim with mead, but the king grabbed it all: the bowl as well as her hands, and straight away he felt a heat burning like fire in his body, and straight away he wanted to sleep with her that very same night. But Svaasi said that he would not give his blessing unless they became legally engaged. Then the king engaged Snöfrid and received her and loved her so madly that he did not care about his kingdom, nor how a king is supposed to behave. They had four sons: Sigurd Rise, Halvdan Hálegg, Gudröd Ljome and Rognvald Rettilbeine. Then Snöfrid died, but she did not change hue at all. She looked just as healthy as when she was alive. The king constantly watched over her, hoping that she would wake up eventually. In this way three winters went by. The king mourned Snöfrid’s death, while the entire country worried about the king’s mental health. But finally Torleiv Spake arrived to heal him, and he did so by first addressing the king: ”It is no wonder, my king, that you mourn such a beautiful and noble woman, and that you honour her on down and silk, like she asked you to. But your noble gesture, and her honour, is diminished by letting her lie on the same bedding for too long, and it would be a good idea to move her and change her beddings.” But as soon as they moved her from the bed, a disgusting smell spread from her body. They hastened to build a fire to burn her – but in the meantime her entire body turned blue, and worms, reptiles, frogs and amphibians and all sorts of nasty serpents came out of her. In this manner she sank into ashes, but Harald rose again from his insanity and came to his senses. And he rejoiced with his men and they with him, and the kingdom flourished again.
