This poem describes King Olav's vassals waiting for him to rejoin their fleet, after they got separated sailing home from an expedition to Pommerania. Unknown to them, Olav has been ambushed at Svolder by the combined fleets of the kings of Denmark and Sweden and the traitorous jarls of Lade. For decades after this - though not quite the poet's "hundred years" - Norway was a fief of the Danish kings.

The poem is often called "Brede Seil" in Norway, after its first words.

The tiger in front of Oslo Central Station is one of Oslo's most photographed "inhabitants" and one of the first things that meet a visitor arriving at Oslo Central Station. Roviell Cablao travel to Oslo Norway.

When Oslo celebrated its 1000-year anniversary in 2000, Eiendomsspar wanted to give the city a gift. Oslo wanted a tiger, and that's what they got: a 4.5-metre bronze tiger made by Elena Engelsen.

The reason Oslo wanted a tiger, is the city's nickname Tigerstaden ("The Tiger City"), which most Norwegians are familiar with. The name was probably first used by Norwegian poet Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson. His poem "Sidste Sang" from 1870 describes a fight between a horse and a tiger; the tiger representing the dangerous city and the horse the safe countryside.

Literary tastes change over time, but it always feels weird to think about authors who used to be widely read, but no longer are. Most prominently in my mind is Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, who won the Noble Prize in literature but who no one in Norway really reads anymore. His contemporary and rival, Henrik Ibsen, is still hugely popular - even internationally.

I think it's mostly to do with Bjørnson's emphasis on national romanticism, which isn't that popular anymore. If we are to compare him with Ibsen, he wasn't as socially transgressive as him, so there is not the same "ahead of his time" feeling with Bjørnson as there is with Ibsen. And I'm part of this too, I have not read a single full length work by Bjørnson! I did however, really enjoy a silent film based on his novel (or it might have been a play) Synnøve Solbakken, so I will definitely read that, and eventually his other works.

I didn't read any of his poetry in high school, and now that they've changed the curriculum to be more flexible in terms of what books teachers assign, there's not any chance he'll have a comeback soon. But, my opinion on that is a different matter entirely.

You can be instrumental in the formation of a national identity and recieve prestigious awards, but once people are comfortable with and understand their national identity, maybe they don't need it reinforced in this internal way. In Norway today, we are much more obsessed with how people from other countries view us.

Ja, vi elsker dette landet, som det stiger frem, furet, værbitt over vannet, med de tusen hjem, - elsker, elsker det og tenker på vår far og mor og den saganatt som senker drømmer på vår jord. Og den saganatt som senker, senker drømmer på vår jord.

- Bjørnstjerne Martinius Bjørnson, Song for Norway (1864)

Yes, we love this country as it rises forth, rugged, weathered, over the water, with the thousands of homes, - love, love it and think of our father and mother and the saga-night that lays dreams upon our earth. And the saga-night that lays, lays dreams upon our earth.

Photo: Sverd i fjell is a commemorative monument located in the Hafrsfjord neighborhood of Madla, just outside of the city of Stavanger, Norway. At the Hafrsfjord, the monument Sverd i fjell (Swords in rock) towers over the bay. The site was most probably where Harald Fairhair gathered Norway into one kingdom in 872. The monument consists of three swords that are fixed into the grown. They symbolise peace, unity and freedom.

https://rumble.com/v1y06ng-edvard-grieg-sigurd-jorsalfar-suite-op-56.html?mref=17947j&mc=9fatg

Prague Symphony Orchestra, conductor: Vaclav Smetacek "Edvard Grieg Sigurd Jorsalfar, Suite Op. 56" is a captivating musical composition that showcases the talent and creativity of Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg. Edvard Grieg, born in 1843, is widely regarded as one of Norway's greatest composers. Known for his nationalistic and romantic compositions, Grieg's music often drew inspiration from Norwegian folk traditions and landscapes. His works played a pivotal role in establishing a distinct Norwegian musical identity. "Sigurd Jorsalfar" is a three-movement symphonic suite composed by Edvard Grieg. The suite is based on the play of the same name by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, which tells the story of the Norwegian king Sigurd I, known as Jorsalfar or "the Crusader." a. Introduction (In the King's Hall): The suite begins with a majestic and regal introduction, evoking the atmosphere of a grand hall filled with nobility. Grieg's use of rich harmonies and grand orchestrations sets the stage for the heroic journey that unfolds throughout the suite. b. Borghild's Dream: The second movement, "Borghild's Dream," is a lyrical and introspective piece that showcases Grieg's ability to create delicate and poignant melodies. The music reflects Borghild's dream as she envisions Sigurd's triumphs and the challenges he will face on his journey. c. Homage March: The final movement, "Homage March," is a triumphant and celebratory piece. It represents Sigurd's victorious return to Norway and the homage paid to him by his subjects. Grieg's use of stirring melodies, rhythmic drive, and powerful orchestration creates a sense of pride and nationalistic fervor. "Sigurd Jorsalfar" is a prime example of Grieg's commitment to incorporating Norwegian folk elements into his compositions. Throughout the suite, Grieg weaves traditional Norwegian melodies and rhythms, infusing the music with a distinct nationalistic flavor. The result is a composition that captures the spirit and essence of Norway's cultural heritage. "Sigurd Jorsalfar" holds great significance both within Grieg's body of work and in the realm of classical music. Grieg's ability to merge elements of Norwegian folklore and nationalistic sentiments with his own unique compositional style showcases his mastery as a composer. The suite remains beloved by audiences for its evocative melodies, emotional depth, and its representation of Norway's rich cultural heritage. "Edvard Grieg Sigurd Jorsalfar, Suite Op. 56" is a testament to the brilliance and innovation of Edvard Grieg as a composer. Through this composition, Grieg successfully captures the heroic journey of Sigurd Jorsalfar, infusing the music with Norwegian folk elements and nationalistic fervor. The suite stands as a testament to Grieg's enduring legacy, showcasing his ability to create evocative melodies and transport listeners to the landscapes and traditions of Norway. "Sigurd Jorsalfar" remains a beloved and significant work within the realm of classical music, captivating audiences with its beauty and cultural significance.

"The Tree" by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson.

[venicepearl]

Agnes Mowinckel playing the part of Lady Inger in 1921.

Lady Inger of Ostrat (original title: Fru Inger til Østeraad) is an 1854 play by Henrik Ibsen, inspired by the life of Inger, Lady of Austraat. The play, the third work of the Norwegian's career, reflects the birth of Romantic Nationalism in the Norway of that period, and had a strongly anti-Danish sentiment. It centers on the Scandinavia of 1510–1540 as the Kalmar Union collapsed, the impacts of the Reformation were becoming evident in Norway, and a last desperate struggle was being mounted to maintain Norwegian independence. Its initial sentiments were so strongly anti-Danish that Ibsen ultimately toned them down.

Norwegian literature was virtually nonexistent during the period of the Scandinavian Union and the subsequent Dano-Norwegian union (1387—1814) — Ibsen characterized that period as "Four Hundred Years of Darkness." Ibsen was a major participant in a flood of nationalistic romanticism that followed the "Four Hundred Years of Darkness" and is recognized as one of the great four contributors of this period (the others being Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, Alexander Kielland, and Jonas Lie). A unity of purpose pervades the whole period, recreation of a national culture based on the almost forgotten past. Subsequent research has shown the play Fru Inger til Østeraad deviates rather liberally from the actual historical events, and should be understood in its context as a statement of nationalism.
