Lawrence Welk: The Life and Legacy of the Famous Bandleader and Television Host , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 73min

*Includes pictures *Includes a bibliography for further reading *Includes a table of contentsBy the mid-20th century, a musical revolution was stirring, and a generation that had not fought in the wars was ready to put the sorrows of the previous 50 years away. Requiring a commentary on modern life all its own, the first post-war generation went for self-expressed rock and roll, with Elvis Presley leading the movement. Jazz, incubated within America, grew into an increasingly sophisticated harmonic and rhythmic language, even though older generations were not able or willing to so easily follow. Not only did the elders’ personal brand of music soothe the wounds of war, but the music reflected the dynamism of a scattered people’s personality, ideals, and customs. From the trains of Woodie Guthrie to the fields of the Russian peasants, each story of suffering, distance, and celebration was played and sung in its own way.For Scandinavians, central Europeans and Russians, the music of the homeland was a language as powerful as that which was spoken in the household. Such emblematic music and social dance functions held the family’s national identity together and accompanied acts of faith in every spiritual tradition from the old world. By the time each immigrant group bonded to its distant history, virtually hundreds of distinct musical art forms found their geographical voice in North America, with few possessing much understanding of the other. Each brought the dances and songs from their home region, including the displaced African Americans. Some were overtly passionate, others decorous and refined, but all suited a perfectly crafted remembrance of familiar folk from one’s birthplace. The Carter family sang of the poor life in the eastern mountains of America, while the Andrews Sisters elicited the war experience for returning American servicemen.One immigrant son above all others took the step of defying the ungekürzt.

Nota Bene Norden Runt

A Scandinavian choir in Zürich? How come? Maybe the joy of singing together is something that Scandinavians have in common: Televised sing-along shows, drinking songs and Lucia processions. For expatriate Nordic communities, choir music also conveys homesickness, community spirit and one's own language. Nota Bene has existed for more than 20 years and has become an institution, not only for Scandinavians living abroad. Scandinavian choir-singing has become increasingly appreciated as an exotic component in the rich cultural life in Zürich. Music and song build bridges between cultures and Nota Bene makes a phenomenal contribution to this in Switzerland, not least because the choir members are amateurs. The passion and joy apparent in everything Nota Bene does is a prominent ingredient in this recording of traditional and not so traditional Scandinavian songs for all seasons.
