    Graphic notation, interpretation and musical performance based on ”Nativitas Domini” by Torsten Nilsson

    No full text
    Septem Improvisationes pro organo op 27 by Torsten Nilsson is a suite of seven organ pieces composed during the 1960s and 70s. The suite is a high point in Swedish organ composition in the style prevailing at the time. The work contains a mixture of graphic notation and traditional notated sections. The use of symbols and graphics indicates the necessity to improvise certain passages and therefore it allows a great deal of free expression. The music combines Gregorian tradition with avant-garde context and is linked to a biblical event with accompanying Bible quotes. As a starting point for my analysis, I use the second piece in the suite, “Nativitas Domini”. It was written in 1968-69 for Gustavi Cathedral's organ and is dedicated to the then cathedral organist Henrik Jansson, who also was a good friend to the composer. The piece is based on the antiphon to a Gregorian introitus, traditionally sung on Christmas Day: Puer natus est nobis. The work is built up of alternating strict and freer sections. Part of my analysis consists of how the hymn, with text about the incarnation, correlates with the piece. The graphic representation of the music is here inventoried and the biblical text from Luke's Gospel about the birth of Jesus is placed in the sheet music to better enhance the musical performance of the content of the text when playing. An inventory of recordings is made to find similarities and differences in behaviour practices. Conversations with organists with this piece in their repertoire are carried out and different techniques are tried out in my own exploration at the organ. This part also includes different positions in relation to the instrument, the room and contextual conditions. Through problematizing the concept of interaction, my knowledge has broadened both artistically and denominationally: • My ability to musically perform a sequence of events has been improved through both sonorous design by the organ and playing skills in improvisation. • During the study of Torsten Nilsson's incarnation music, my view of church music has deepened

    Manifolds, sheaves, and cohomology

    No full text
    This book explains techniques that are essential in almost all branches of modern geometry such as algebraic geometry, complex geometry, or non-archimedian geometry. It uses the most accessible case, real and complex manifolds, as a model. The author especially emphasizes the difference between local and global questions. Cohomology theory of sheaves is introduced and its usage is illustrated by many examples.

Watson, director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1994 Photo by Leif Carlsson To commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the discovery at The Rockefeller University that genes are made of DNA - considered by many to be the single most important biological discovery of the twentieth century - the university has kicked off a year-long series of events that were running through May 1994. The celebration was formally inaugurated in November 1993 with a lec­ture by Nobel laureate James D. Watson, best known for discovering the double-helical structure of DNA.

    Seltsame Schauspiele. Torsten Fogelqvists Deutschlandreise 1934

    No full text
    In 1934 Torsten Fogelqvist, a prominent member of the Swedish Academy and a well-known journalist and intellectual, visits Nazi Germany. He writes about his visit to the Third Reich in 17 articles published in the Stockholm daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter. The author, highly critical of the Hitler regime, scrutinizes several aspects of the nazified German society such as the attempts to re-educate the German citizen in accordance with the ideology of the new regime, the hero cult in the Nazi movement, and the relationship between the German state and the churches. In order to further an understanding of political and social developments in Germany Fogelqvist uses a specific strategy. He “translates” them into an imaginary Swedish context. This paper compares his views with those of other Swedish visitors

    This dataset contains PISM simulation results (http://www.pism-docs.org) of the Antarctic Ice Sheet based on code release v1.0-paleo-ensemble (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3574033). PISM is the open-source Parallel Ice Sheet Model developed mainly at UAF, USA and PIK, Germany. With the help of added python scripts, all figures can be reproduced as in the journal publication: - Albrecht et al., 2020, doi:10.5194/tc-14-599-2020. --- Data: Find PISM results as netCDF data. See 'README.md' for a list of all performed experiment. All forcing input data for the experiments and plots can be downloaded and remapped via https://github.com/pism/pism-ais. Some of the original input data files are freely available, for others please contact the author or the corresponding data publisher. Figure plotting scripts (jupyter notebook based on python, see https://jupyter.org) in 'plot_scripts' access the uploaded PISM results in 'model_data' and save the plots to 'final_figures'.
