Julbocken (song)
"Julbocken", with the opening lines ''"En jul när mor var liten"'', is a Christmas song written by Alice Tegnér. The lyrics describe a time when the ''Julbocken'' (Yule goat or Christmas goat) was still a more popular Christmas gift-bringer in Sweden than the ''Jultomten'' (Christmas elves or gnomes) or Santa Claus. The lyrics describe the goat giving presents, a doll for "Mother" when she was a child, who was frightened when the goat jumped; and for her brother, a drum and a trumpet. When the goat is old, he returns to "Mother", who now has children of her own.

Song
A song is a musical composition performed by the human voice. The voice often carries the melody (a series of distinct and fixed pitches) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs have a structure, such as the common ABA form, and are usually made of sections that are repeated or performed with variation later. A song without instruments is said to be a cappella. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in the classical tradition, it is called an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally by ear are often referred to as folk songs. Songs composed for the mass market, designed to be sung by professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows, are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appe ...

Alice Babs
Hildur Alice Nilson (26 January 1924 – 11 February 2014), known by her stage name Alice Babs, was a Swedish singer. She worked in a wide number of genres – Swedish folklore, Elizabethan songs and opera. While she was best known internationally as a jazz singer, Babs also competed as Sweden's first annual competition entrant in the Eurovision Song Contest 1958. In 1972 she was named Sweden's Hovsångare, Royal Court Singer, the first non-opera singer as such. Career After making her breakthrough in the film ''Swing it, magistern!'' ('Swing It, Teacher!', 1940), she appeared in more than a dozen Swedish-language films. Despite being cast as the well-behaved, good-hearted, cheerful girl, the youth culture forming with Babs as its icon caused outrage among members of the older generation. A vicar called the Babs cult the "foot and mouth disease of cultural life". A long and productive period of collaboration with Duke Ellington began in 1963. Among other works, Babs participa ...

God Morgon, Mitt Herrskap (album)
In monotheistic belief systems, God is usually viewed as the supreme being, creator, and principal object of faith. In polytheistic belief systems, a god is "a spirit or being believed to have created, or for controlling some part of the universe or life, for which such a deity is often worshipped". Belief in the existence of at least one deity, which interfers with the world, is called theism. Conceptions of God vary considerably. Many notable theologians and philosophers have developed arguments for and against the existence of God. Atheism rejects the belief in any deity. Agnosticism is the belief that the existence of God is unknown or unknowable. Some theists view knowledge concerning God as derived from faith. God is often conceived as the greatest entity in existence. God is often believed to be the cause of all things and so is seen as the creator, sustainer, and ruler of the universe. God is often thought of as incorporeal and independent of the material creation, wh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Stockholms Musikgymnasium
Kungsholmens gymnasium is an upper secondary school () located on the island of Kungsholmen in Stockholm, Sweden. The school is divided into a Swedish language, Swedish Section, an English-speaking International Section, and a Music Section which uses the name Stockholms Musikgymnasium. Kungsholmens Gymnasium is a popular school in Stockholm with high application rates and some of the highest minimum admission requirements within the Stockholm County. History The schooling reforms of 1842 () led to a dramatic increase in the number of children eligible for schooling. The city also experienced very high population growth during the latter half of the 19th century. Because of this, Stockholm's schooling facilities could no longer accommodate the increasing number of students. To solve these issues it was proposed to establish new schools, one of which would be located in Kungsholmen. The school was established in 1902 as ''Kungsholmens Allmänna Läroverk'' (), consisting of f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
