Talk about the faith :p. That’s about all you share to be honest

Billedresultat for odense"

 

Good evening, Totallympics!

Velkommen til Danmark!

 

It's an honour for the Host Jury to welcome you all to the Opening Ceremony for TISC Open 2019. We have tried our best to welcome all participants with open arms here to small and beautiful Denmark. 

Without you, we could not make TOTALLYMPICS INTERNATIONAL SONG CONTEST. So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. 

First we want to present what our small, but beautiful country can offer. 

Enjoy!

Brief presentation and a visit from a familiar face

 

 

TOISC 2019 wants to celebrate Denmark's history in not only TISC, as many of you have already noticed, but also the historical musical roots Denmark comes from. During this ceremony, we will have several artists presenting the musical history of Denmark.

At first, we are not going far back in our musical history, as this artist has written some of the most recent history of Denmark in TISC. We are happy to welcome last year's winner, Tina Dickow!

Welcome to Odense and Funen!

 

 

For the first time in TISC's History, Odense has the honour as host city. Odense has done its best to prepare for this big event, but the city of Odense could not have achieved this alone. Many people from the rest of Funen have contributed to make this possible. We want to show what Funen and Odense can offer those who visit this beautiful, hilly, green island which is placed in the heart of Denmark.

Follow in Denmark's historical footsteps

 

 

Music is often accompanied by dance. Historically, music and dance are very integrated parts of the Danish cultural history. Folk and traditional dance has played an important cultural role for many common people throughout Danish history as a way of celebrating important life events and create strong social bonds inside the small communities.

Historical notes

 

 

Folk songs and stories in Denmark have been widely used to tell stories about heroes' achievements and the life of king and queens in the Middle ages, but also about what consequences the common people's actions could have on their life.

 

The former TISC participant, Myrkur, will sing two tales.

The first one is a Danish folk song from the late 1500s about Queen Dagmar (wife of Valdemar Sejr). She was known as the Queen of the people because she wished her husband, the king, would lower taxes for the farmers and free the many prisoners who were held in castle dungeons. She allegedly died giving birth in her bed, around age 23.

 

 

Afterwards she will sing about a man named Ramund. A man who goes to battle with the Jætter/trolls and then sails to the emperor to take his daughter to marry and then decapitates the emperor.

 

 

Lastly, we will present the folk group, Virelai. They will sing about a common woman, Agnete, who is lured by a beautiful merman to the bottom of the sea. However, the merman was a test of Agnete's faith to her husband. As a consequence of her action, she is forced to live the rest of her life on the bottom of the sea with no possibility to see her children and husband again.
