Psalmodicon
The psalmodicon (psalmodikon or salmodikon) is a stringed musical instrument; the most common variants have a single string. It was developed in Scandinavia for simplifying music in churches and schools, and as an alternative to the fiddle for sacred music. The instrument could be plucked or bowed. Beginning in the early 19th century, it was adopted by many rural churches in Scandinavia; later, immigrants brought the instrument to the United States. – "The psalmodicon was also used in Finland, in Estonia, and by the Scandinavian immigrants in North America. Dillner's pupil and colleague, Lars Paul Esbjörn, who emigrated from Sweden to America in 1849, took with him both instruments" At the time, many congregations could not afford organs. Dance instruments were considered inappropriate for sacred settings, so violins were not allowed. The psalmodikon, on the other hand, was inexpensive to build, was not used for dancing, took up little space, and could be played by people wi ...

Blue is also the predominating color that officially represents the eastern quadrant in the Land of Oz. The Munchkins have appeared in various media, including the 1939 film '' The Wizard of Oz'', as well as in various other films and comedy acts. Concept While Baum may have written about it, there are no surviving notes for the composition of ''The Wonderful Wizard of Oz''. The lack of this information has resulted in mere speculation of the term origins he used in the book, which include the word ''Munchkin''. Baum researcher Brian Attebery has hypothesized that there might be a connecti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
