We might call this the “acticity” of the musical work. The acticity of Berlioz’s music is defined by his use of the guitar as a composing tool. The article follows how acts of playing and composing on the guitar are inscribed in the score and how the physicality of these acts is still present and creates the specificity of the orchestral writing, and further, how this “impure” materiality demands new modes of development. The acts do not simply condition the orchestral writing, they are present in, and constitute the particularity of, the score; but more importantly, they may even illuminate an ontological character of every musical work, its acticity.","PeriodicalId":33004,"journal":{"name":"Studia Musicologica Norvegica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42479016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Grainger and Sparre Olsen undertook several projects together, the most ambitious being a translation and international publication of the Olav Aukrust song Fjell-Norig (“Mountain-Norway”) for choir and orchestra, which was to be published through a major international publisher. The project began in 1929, and the years up to 1934 were focused on getting the translation and music ready. After Grainger’s tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1935, where the work was performed frequently, work to find a publisher began. Schott decided to take on the project in 1936, but owing to a number of setbacks the paperwork necessary for publication was not in order when the Second World War began; afterwards the project faded into oblivion. Olsen did not fully disclose these events in his monograph Percy Grainger (1969). Instead, he presented a narrative where a smaller choral publication appeared to have been the goal, which fitted with a translated arrangement he had published a decade prior. In both sources he omitted any mention of Grainger having made his own arrangement, as well as the last verse Grainger translated, the latter possibly because it was never fully sanctioned by Aukrust’s widow Gudrun Aukrust.","PeriodicalId":33004,"journal":{"name":"Studia Musicologica Norvegica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42437466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this essay, the author probes further the ways in which some types of popular music serve to represent the psychedelic experience, not so much through semantically stable stylistic codes but through the affordances these sound-shapes and their context provide. To illustrate the application of this expanded notion of psychedelic musical rhetoric, he examines the psychedelic aspects of some of the music of contemporary Norwegian pop band, Highasakite, whose work provides a good example of the post-millennial evolution of the musical vision of psychedelia’s earliest proponents.","PeriodicalId":33004,"journal":{"name":"Studia Musicologica Norvegica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67712625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
