I listened to my first classical piece at age 14, and now I'm genuinely addicted to classical music.

It's not unknown in Sweden

@@fridakallblad6879 It's known almost only here in Sweden, tyvärr.

You are right.

That is a wedding I would have been quite willing to not wear sneakers too.

I actually got married to this, also in a church not far from Drottningholm

mine as well :)

Or if we are musicians playing it relentlessly.

Quel est le nom du château SVP ?

​​@@louisxav1091So this is the Drottningholm Palace in / just outside Stockholm. The royal family lives there, not in the city palace. But part of it is open for the public.

Yes, I didn't know it either! Ok, I'm not completely a Swede (at the time of this composition I would have been), but anyway I've heard this many, many times on the Swedish television, especially the beginning.

A good story - and like most of those not quite true. Because while yes, "biläger" is an old word (like so many others) the Swedish language acquired from the German language and it CAN mean "intercourse", that's not actually the meaning here. Translating the original title, that was "Bilägers Musiquen" directly into "The Intercourse music" would be completely misleading. In fact, this name was given to all of the complete set of 24 movements written and directed by the composer Johan Helmich Roman for the royal wedding between the Swedish crown prince Adolf Fredrik and his betrothed Lovisa Ulrika between the 18th and 20th of August 1744. And historians agree this music was never intended to be - nor was it - performed in one piece. Instead it's intended for many separate and special parts of the three day long nuptial ceremony. "Biläger" in this instance should instead be understood either as the entire marrige - or as the ceremony that caps the wedding of - with witnesses following the royal couple into the bed chamber to see them ceremonially enter the marital bed and thus "consummate" the marriage legally. The actual act of intercourse is something that's obviously intended to happen later - when the witnesses (and the orchestra) have left. This can be seen in examples from the Swedish language Wikipedia-page for the word "biläger": sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bil%C3%A4ger Even if one doesn't read Swedish, the pictures on this site shows a painting of the "biläger" between king Karl X Gustav and his betrothed Hedvig Eleonora after their nuptial in 1654. It's obviously not an act of intercourse that is painted, but the highly symbolic and idealised idea of these two people entering the married bed - in the bed chamber, in front of witnesses. With angels blessing the marriage from the heavens above, no less. The second picture is the special "biläger"dress made for future king Gustav III on the occasion of the biläger of his marriage in 1766. Not intended to actually have intercourse in, of course, but intended for a highly important ceremonial occasion - played out in front of witnesses. The English language Wikipedia-page for the original German word is even more clear on this point and omits the meaning of intercourse completely. It basically says the word means marriage: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beilager So some part of the music written by Johan Helmich Roman may have been played during some part of the biläger of the wedding it was written for- we don't actually know that. But we can be entirely sure none was played during any actual intercourse - if that in fact even happened between the two on the actual night.

Jawohl, Edeljude!

Ja, mycket av det bästa vi har kommer från östra rikshalvan: Fänrik Stål, Mumin och Yngves för att bara ta tre ur mängden.

KZfaq has a codec designed for dialup and computer speakers. After finding a piece I like on KZfaq I will usually hunt for either a hi res lossless download or a hard copy like CD or Audio DVD, or if old enough, vinyl or shellac 78. So I treat KZfaq like A.M. radio.

JS Bach Most easily here, www.amazon.co.uk/Roman-Royal-Wedding-Music-Drottningholm/dp/B000027DLD/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1436356174&sr=8-16&keywords=Johan+Helmich+Roman Worth every penny if you ask me. ;-)

KuhlauDilfeng4 Yeah, I ask you. ;-) Fine, thanks! I already ordered the CD. Now let's wait and then take a look. Till then I will listen to your upload. ;-)

JS Bach The CD arrived today. ;-)

If I may kindly correct you, the baroque music was not only "reserved" to aristocracy and kings. You've got to imagine that their common music that Anglo-saxon folks call "Middle of the road" nowadays was specifically that baroque one. One used to sing Bach's cantatas in Leipzig, Vivaldi's Gloria in Venice, Zelenka's Missa Omnium Sanctorum in Dresden ; one used to listen to Bach's chambermusic in Zimmermann Coffee. The "stadtmusikanten" were one of the many great ways to popularise the music in every stratum of the society. It is just kind of hard for us nowadays to imagine "the Third Estate" listening to baroque music 300 years ago but that was a fact. Drottningholmsmusiken was probably only heard by aristocracy because of its nature (made for a royal wedding) but let's not forget that Baroque music did exist also because it "fit" to its European populations. If not, it would have been different. Let's not forget also that Bach for example composed Passio / cantatas with specific rhetorical references and codes that were easily understandable by the population. We, nowadays, have lost those code and references while they were mastering it despite their "low" social condition. So it seems likely that people from third Estate in Baroque times were probably better connoisseurs and a better public, understanding everything than we actually do today.

LeThayle Det är väl i stort sett Georg Riedel ensam som komponerat musiken till alla A.L filmer, mig veterligen. Eller har jag fel?

Install adblock. (If you're on pc that is)

It's not, though, on a plattform funded by commercials. I use KZfaq a great deal, so I find it very much worthwhile to pay a small sum to get it ad free. It's absolutely lovely.

Just download the video. Then you get it ad free.

+Faidros62 Säg vad Bellman inte har snott? T.ex. "Så lunka vi så småningom" kommer troligtvis från operan Gustaf Wasa.

D fanns ingen musikjuridik på den tiden, alla snodde av varandra, t.o.m. Mozart gjorde det. Så låt gamle Bellman va i fred!

Yup

@@adolfelmarjukic9133 Musikjuridik? Du menar upphovsrätt?

Visst, men Bellman skriver ju själv att han bara delvis författat musiken om du läser de tryckta versionerna av hans musik, i ingressen.

A beautiful music for a beautiful palace. I have strolled in the park many a time. And visited the pretty little China palace and the theatre. Now I'm sitting here in Rayong (Th.) and eating my breakfast whitin this Heavenly bliss. God save the King and the Country. Bon curage mon frére.
