That such a hirthright h,1.s been richly entrusted to the Norwegian Nation is a well kn~~wn fact. As music lovers, composers and performers the Norwegians have alw;lYs been in the furcmost ranks. Sin~ill g, anJ then in partICular male chorus smg颅 !llg, has a very broad place in the Jaily musical life of the country. Virtually every little community has its sin?;ing Eocic-ties which contribute much t()\,varus keeping the high standard of patriotism anJ IOVt~. EvcryhoJy tclkes part anJ the great Sangerfcsts with masseJ choruses numhering 5000 to ()()O() me n ; ln~ realities.

ProO'ram Notes
~ Varde "The Beacon." Words hy Pn Sivle, music hy Johannes Haarkluu. History rdates that the Nor· 'vvegian King Haakllll the COOl] (919 ·<)() 1) gaVL' order to huild great he;lcolls on the highcst mou llt;lin peaks thnHlghout Norw;lY. They were ()nly to he lit ill Clse uf fue" entering the co untry. Thus the ()min()us message c()u ld reach fr()m the :iolIthernmost point of Norw;lY all the way to North Cape within seven nights, In rousing w() rds the poem paints a pictu re of the aW;lkening ;It night of each man' The Beacon is Burning" N o nced of telling them the foc is ente ring the f;ltherland. They rush to the defense uf home and cou ntry, and the h ; lplcs~ foe shall ta~ te w hat it mean s to hc the cause o f Burning Bcacons, Still, though no heacons arc hurning on the mountain tops th ey hurn in the hearts o f Norway's yo uth. It hurn s' Burns ' - The powerful musical setting has nude the song one of the most heloved of Norwegian choral music.
Klar;l Stjaerm. Twinkling St,lr in heaven's deep hluc . d o not hide your cye to me. To the realms w here yo u shine my sOlll is longing.
Landkjc nding . ·'Lind·Sighting." Th e poem i" hy Norw;IY's great write r Bjornson and th e music hy t he immortal Cricg. It is one of the most pop' ular maic c horus songs in the world , de picting th e young H ero· Kin g Ob v Trygvaso n's return to his n;ltive Norw;IY and the first impreso ion of land he a nd his fo llowers got from the gleaming mountain pe;lks and th undcrinl2: waterfalls as th ey sailed in throug'h the deep blue fjords in the shimme ring sunlit air. In the haritone so lo the Kin g gives pro· found ex pression for his helief, th;lt here was hOllle , and h er e he would rai se the Cross whic h s hould lift his spirit high and strong like th e mighty glittering Illountains! And his me n inton e the pr;lye r carrying the so ng to a grand so ul stir· ring fini5h.
Baadn ·Laat. " Nurscry Rhyme." This humorous piece is a little Norwegian Folk Song, a ChikJren 's Ditty. The setting is hy C ri eg in his own inimitah le style and shows his mastery in male cho rus arrange· ment. The he:',)m lics in the closet, The cat is drum · min ~~ ;md four mice are d;lIlcing, so the w hole earth is sh;lking. Th L, ca t sits on thc roof spea king to its daughters: " How shall we keep our fect dry, our paws arc freezing?" W e shall travel to Denma rk and huy shocs fo r tWIl hits, ;llld ell rll and ,~ingLTsn aps. MeO\,\/!
Olav Trygvaw n. Poem by Bjorn so n, music by R eissiger. It is perhaps the fa vo rite of all the Nor w Cl~ ian male chorus son gs, and hardly a conce rt is given w ith o ut its apP c;lrancc on the program . Th e epi c ha ckground of th e so ng is the Nav al Battle fOllght at the pe ninsula of Svold, off thc Germ;lI~' Balt ic coa st in th e year 1000, where the famous Norwcgian H ero King Ola v Trygv;lson fell dgainst his combined Norwegian, Danish and Swedi sh foes. His Dragon Ship, thc "Long Ser· pent ," th e most famous of all Viking ships, was tak e n -- and Olav Trygvaso n, wounded , ,iumped overboard aIllJ Ji ~appeared. But the song itself w ith King OLlv's Earl, Erling Skjalgson and his m,' n, who with 50 lighter warships had outsailed rhl' II heav ier Drago n Ships of the King, and unc\W<LrC of the sad fate of their heloved H e ro were laying waiting for him -in vain. And ther. from th e depth of the ocean, like it sigh , came the ml' ssage carried by sobbing waves to the waltll1g me n: " Taken is th e Lo ng Serpent! Fall en is Olav Trygvason'"
* Den store hvite fi nk. " Th e: great White H ost." Be hold a Hllst arrayed in whitc, like thousand snow· cbd I1l0UnLIins hright, Their vo ices they in worship raise, hefore thc throne of Cud, mid Angels' song of praise' This r eligious puem is from the prolific pen of thc Bishop H. A . Brorsun (1()1)4 · 1722 ). Several Nnrwegian Folk melod ies, greatly varying, arc to he found to this text , hut Urieg selected the one used here ;LIld arranged it for haritone solo "iith male chorus accompaniment. ()f the three verses of the song only the first is used in this setting w hich has long since hccon1L' ,I g reat favorit c w ith all male choruses.
