Talk about the faith . That’s about all you share to be honest “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Wumo 2,823 Posted November 1, 2019 Author #855 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) 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!

Wumo 2,823 Posted November 1, 2019 Author #857 Share Posted November 1, 2019 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. mrv86 and OlympicIRL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumo 2,823 Posted November 1, 2019 Author #858 Share Posted November 1, 2019 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. mrv86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumo 2,823 Posted November 1, 2019 Author #859 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Funen has much to experience What cultural and natural experiences can the birthplace of Denmark's most celebrated author, H. C. Andersen, might offer? Let us take you a tour around the island. mrv86 and OlympicIRL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumo 2,823 Posted November 1, 2019 Author #860 Share Posted November 1, 2019 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. hckošice, Wanderer and OlympicIRL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
