Landstads Kirkesalmebog
''Landstads kirkesalmebog'' (Landstad's Church Hymnal), often simply known as ''Landstads salmebok'' (Landstad's Hymnal), was the most important hymnal for the Church of Norway from 1870 to 1926. In 1852, Magnus Brostrup Landstad (1802–1880) started compiling a new church hymnal. At that time, three different hymnals were in use: Kingo's hymnal from 1699, Guldberg's hymnal from 1778, and '' Evangelisk-christelig Psalmebog'' (Lutheran-Christian Hymnal) from 1798. All three were therefore Danish and did not satisfy the Church's needs. In 1855, Landstad published a sample of his translations of Luther's hymns, and in 1856 he published a volume with Christmas hymns. In 1861 he presented his draft new hymnal with 640 hymns arranged in verse form. The draft was sharply criticized because of its use of dialect vocabulary; the bishop and hymnologist Johannes Skaar argued that Landstad had mixed peasant language and cultured language. Landstad replied to the criticism in his book ''Om ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Church Of Norway
The Church of Norway ( nb, Den norske kirke, nn, Den norske kyrkja, se, Norgga girku, sma, Nöörjen gærhkoe) is an evangelical Lutheran denomination of Protestant Christianity and by far the largest Christian church in Norway. The church became the state church of Norway around 1020, and was established as a separate church intimately integrated with the state as a result of the Lutheran reformation in Denmark–Norway which broke ties with the Holy See in 1536–1537; the King of Norway was the church's head from 1537 to 2012. Historically the church was one of the main instruments of royal power and official authority, and an important part of the state administration; local government was based on the church's parishes with significant official responsibility held by the parish priest. In the 19th and 20th centuries it gradually ceded most administrative functions to the secular civil service. The modern Constitution of Norway describes the church as the country's "peo ...

It also bears Kingo's name on the title page because the selection was made based on a hymnal that Kingo had edited ten years earlier. Kingo's hymnal was in use in a large part of Norway until the 1870s, when it was replaced by '' Landstads kirkesalmebog'' (Landstad's Church Hymnal) and Andreas Hauge's '' Psalmebog for Kirke og Hus'' (Hymnal for Church and Home).

Guldberg's Hymnal
Guldberg's hymnal (published as ''Psalme-Bog eller En Samling af gamle og nye Psalmer'' 'Hymnal or A Collection of Old and New Hymns') is a hymnal that was created by Bishop Ludvig Harboe and Ove Høegh-Guldberg and was authorized for use in 1778. Background On behalf of King Christian VII of Denmark, Denmark's de facto prime minister, Ove Høegh-Guldberg, appointed a two-person committee, consisting of himself and the bishop of Zealand, Ludvig Harboe, to prepare a new hymnal. They sought to modernize Kingo's hymnal, primarily by removing the hymns that lacked the requisite "correctness, dignity, and strength" or whose poetic quality was too weak. To replace the hymns that would be removed from the authorized hymnal, Birgitte Cathrine Boye received royal funding to write and translate hymns. Content The hymnal contains 438 hymns taken from various sources: *32 from Thomissøn's hymnal *101 from Kingo's hymnal *144 from Erik Pontoppidan's hymnal *161 new hymns, of which 24 were f ...

Den Blomstertid Nu Kommer
Den blomstertid nu kommer (literally: ''Now the time of blossoming arrives'', Suvivirsi in Finnish) is a Swedish summertime hymn, traditionally credited to Israel Kolmodin after walking at Hångers källa outside Visby. It was first published in the 1695 Swedish Hymnal, and the Finnish translation was made for the 1701 Finnish Hymnal by Erik Cajanus. In Sweden and Finland the hymn is traditionally sung at the end of the school year, before the summer holidays, and as such it has reached widespread recognition in both Finnish and Swedish culture. It is strongly associated with summer, as well as primary and secondary education. The number of verses sung in schools varies, but tends not to include all six. Sometimes only the first verse is used, in which the hymn's Christian origins are not apparent. In Finland, the hymn is usually sung in three verses in schools. Zenos E. Hawkinson has written lyrics in English, as "Now Comes the Time for Flowers", from 1978. Publication * 16 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
