Nazitysklands anfall på Norge och Danmark den 9 april 1940 var resultatet av en kedja av strategiska beslut av både de allierade och Nazityskland. Tyskarna behövde hamnar i Norge för kriget på Atlanten och för att säkra de svenska malmtransporterna via Narvik, samtidigt som de Allierade ville förhindra samma export.Där Danmark kapitulerade nästan utan strid skulle norrmännen kämpa i två månader. Men det svaga norska försvaret, flera misstag kring mobiliseringen i kombination med en förvirrad hjälp från britterna och fransmännen beseglade norrmännens öde. Den tyska ockupationen i Norge skulle bli hård, medan danskarna som behöll sin regering fick det lättare fram till 1943.Detta är tredje delen av sju om andra världskriget. Programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med Martin Hårdstedt, professor i historia vid Umeå universitet.Redan när kriget bröt ut den 1 september 1939 förklarade Norge och Danmark sig neutrala. Norges försvar var huvudsakligen inriktade på övervakningsuppgifter, eftersom landets geografiska läge ansågs vara en garanti mot storskaliga invasionsförsök. Och man förlitade sig på att brittiska Royal Navy skulle sätta stopp för en invasion.De allierade ville stoppa den svenska malmexporten till Tyskland via Narvik i Norge och de planerade att besätta de svenska malmfälten med ursäkten att kunna skicka hjälp till Finland. Tyskarna var snarare ute efter hamnar i Norge för kriget på Atlanten än att säkra malmimporten från Sverige.Den 9 april 1940 inledde Hitler Operation Weserübung, som innebar en fullskalig invasion av Danmark och Norge. Norska styrkor svarade med modigt motstånd, men trots deras ansträngningar lyckades de tyska styrkorna ta kontroll över huvudstäderna i både Danmark och Norge inom loppet av en dag. Den tyska kryssaren Blücher sänktes av den norska kustförsvar vid Oscarsborg i inloppet till Oslo, vilket fördröjde fångandet av huvudstaden och tillät kungafamiljen, regeringen och Stortinget att fly norrut med extratåg.I början av 1940 fick de norska myndigheterna flera varningar om att något var på gång. Mötet mellan Hitler och Vidkun Quisling, ledaren för det norska nazistpartiet Nasjonal Samling, i december 1939 stärkte Hitlers övertygelse om att Norge saknade viljan och förmågan att motsätta sig brittiska överträdelser av neutraliteten.Vid samma tidpunkt beslutade de allierade att genomföra en plan utarbetad av Winston Churchill för att minera norska vatten inom tre-milsgränsen. Den 8 april 1940 inleddes minläggningen (i Vestfjorden nära Narvik), och den 9 april kom det tyska angreppet.Ett nattligt ultimatum till den norska regeringen om att samarbeta med de tyska styrkorna avvisades. Under loppet av 9 april lyckades tyskarna erövra de viktigaste hamnstäderna, inklusive Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim och Narvik. Dock försenade sänkningen av den tyska kryssaren Blücher av den norska kustförsvar vid Oscarsborg i inloppet till Oslo erövringen av huvudstaden och tillät kungafamiljen, regeringen och Stortinget att avgå med extratåg till norr.Bild: Tyska Wehrmacht i Norge den 9 april 1940.

Den tyska ockupationen i Norge skulle bli hård, medan danskarna som behöll sin regering fick det lättare fram till 1943.Detta är den andra delen av fem om Norden under Andra världskriget. Programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med Martin Hårdstedt, professor i historia vid Umeå universitet.Redan när kriget bröt ut den 1 september 1939 förklarade Norge och Danmark sig neutrala. Norges försvar var huvudsakligen inriktade på övervakningsuppgifter, eftersom landets geografiska läge ansågs vara en garanti mot storskaliga invasionsförsök.

Tyskarna var snarare ute efter hamnar i Norge för kriget på Atlanten än att säkra malmimporten från Sverige.När vinterkriget bröt ut mellan Sovjetunionen och Finland den 30 november 1939, vändes stormakternas blickar mot Skandinavien. Det starka finska motståndet mot Stalins Röda Armé visade att regionen hade potential att vara en viktig spelare på krigsscenen.Den 9 april 1940 inledde Hitler Operation Weserübung, som innebar en fullskalig invasion av Danmark och Norge. Norska styrkor svarade med modigt motstånd, men trots deras ansträngningar lyckades de tyska styrkorna ta kontroll över huvudstäderna i både Danmark och Norge inom loppet av en dag.

Samtidigt kunde man hindra den tyska handelssjöfarten och svälta ut Tyskland. Sjöofficerarna i den tyska Krigsmarinen hade lärt sig av denna läxa och redan den 2 oktober 1939 föreslog den tyske marinchefen Raeder upprättandet av två tyska basområden i Norge.I början av 1940 fick de norska myndigheterna flera varningar om att något var på gång. Mötet mellan Hitler och Vidkun Quisling, ledaren för det norska nazistpartiet Nasjonal Samling, i december 1939 stärkte Hitlers övertygelse om att Norge saknade viljan och förmågan att motsätta sig brittiska överträdelser av neutraliteten.Bild: Tyska Wehrmacht i Norge den 9 april 1940.

In 1950, President Harry Truman ordered US troops to the Korean peninsula to help the South Koreans repel the invading North Korean People's Army, which was supported by the communist regimes of the Soviet Union and China. One of the regiments shipped overseas to fight was the 65th Infantry Regiment, the Borinqueneers, made up of soldiers from Puerto Rico. In Korea, the Borinqueneers served heroically, despite harsh conditions and racist treatment. Joining me in this episode to help us learn more about the 65th Infantry Regiment is writer Talia Aikens-Nuñez, author of the young adult book Men of the 65th: The Borinqueneers of the Korean War.  Our theme song is Frogs Legs Rag, composed by James Scott and performed by Kevin MacLeod, licensed under Creative Commons.

Romarriket har kulturellt präglat större delen av Europa, men imperiets kärnland blev en samling splittrade kungadömen och stadsrepubliker under stark utländsk dominans. Därför enades Italien först 1861 och med inneboende spänningar som präglat statsbildningen ända sedan bildandet.Italien enades så sent som år 1861 och dagens Italien är av ännu senare datum. Idén om en italiensk nation fanns redan under Machiavellis dagar på 1500-talet, men italiensk nationalism var i första hand intellektuell och kulturpolitisk.I den nymixade reprisen av avsnitt 107 av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Eskil Fagerström som är journalist och författare som skrivit flera böcker om Italien. Han är aktuell med boken Italiens moderna historia.Italiens enande (Risorgimento) inleddes 1861, men slutfördes inte förrän fransk-tyska kriget 1870-1871 när de franska trupperna lämnade påvens kyrkostat.Det är framförallt tre individer som framträder i historien om Italiens endande. Ideologen Giuseppe Mazzini, realpolitikern och statsmannen Camillo Benso di Cavour och den ikoniske gerillaledaren Giuseppe Garibaldi. Någon massrörelse, med brett deltagande och stöd, hade risorgimento aldrig varit.Bild: Slaget vid Calatafimi, public domain.Musik: Italiens nationalsång Fratelli d'Italia framförd av United States Navy Band Vill du stödja podden och samtidigt höra ännu mer av Historia Nu?

On July 4, Americans will eat 150 million hot dogs, spend $1 billion on beer, and watch 16,000 fireworks displays (and those are just the official ones). But why do we celebrate on July 4, when did it become a national holiday, and did John Adams eat hot dogs? Joining me for the story of the Declaration of Independence, why July 4th might not be the right date to be celebrating, and who the signers actually were, is historian, podcaster, and DC tour guide, Rebecca Fachner. Our theme song is Frogs Legs Rag, composed by James Scott and performed by Kevin MacLeod, licensed under Creative Commons. The musical interlude is “The Stars and Stripes Forever,” written by John Philip Sousa and performed by the United States Navy Band in 1929. The recording is in the public domain and is housed in the Internet Archive. The image is a photograph of “The Declaration of Independence: One of two ‘exact' facsimiles given to James Madison on June 30, 1824, sent by John Quincy Adams as Secretary of State, according to Congressional Resolution. Copperplate engraving printed on vellum, William J. Stone, 1823.” Declaration is in the collection of David M. Rubenstein and is displayed in Chicago, Illinois. The photograph of the Declaration was taken by Kelly Therese Pollock on July 1, 2022.  Sources: “Declaration of Independence: A Transcription,” National Archives. “Opinion: Independence Day on July 2?

How are we to make sense of the complex legacies of settler colonialism in contemporary Canada? What were the effects of Acadian settlement on indigenous peoples in eastern Canada, or Mi'kmaki, and in Louisiana? Highly relevant to current debates on historical memory, commemoration, and reconciliation with indigenous nations, these matters are addressed by a panel of university and community scholars who convened in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, on August 27-28, 2021, for a symposium organized by the Gorsebrook Research Institute for Atlantic Canada Studies (St. Mary's U.) in partnership with the North/South Observatory (U. Sainte-Anne) and the Institute of Acadian Studies (U. de Moncton). Featured talks by Dr. Rohini Bannerjee (St. Mary's U.), Michael Dardar (United Houma Nation), Dr. Nicole Gilhuis (Pepperdine U.), Dr. Gregory Kennedy (U. de Moncton), Dr. Thomas Peace (Huron University College), and Dr. John Reid (Gorsebrook Research Institute, St. Mary's U.). Chéticamp resident and heritage entrepreneur Scott Aucoin leads a guided walk to the ruins of a mill constructed in the late eighteenth century by Acadian founders who settled on Cape Breton after years of exile. The event was sponsored by the Royal Society of Canada through its Open Academy program.The documentary series Acadiversité explores the history and culture of the Acadian diaspora. Acadiversité is a production of Studio N/S, an initiative by Université Sainte-Anne's North/South Observatory, the research lab of the Canada Research Chair in Acadian and Transnational Studies (CRÉAcT – Dr. Clint Bruce). Each yearly season is comprised of four episodes, three in French and one in English, plus bonus material.The symposium featured in this episode ties into the project Rethinking Acadia in the World (Repenser l'Acadie dans le monde: études comparées, études transnationales), directed by Clint Bruce and Gregory Kennedy.Script, narration, and production: Clint BruceTheme song: “3 a.m. West End” by statusq (freepd.com)Music by Frédéric Chopin (“Cello Sonata in G Minor, Op. 65 - III.

Composer Viet Cuong joins us to discuss the role that marching band played in his formative years and the impact it continues to have on his current career. He shares his approach to composing for small ensembles, preparing students to take advantage of new and innovative tools, and the skills vital for success as a freelance musician. We finish with a conversation about what it means to “sound like tomorrow”. Called “alluring” and “wildly inventive” by The New York Times, the “irresistible” (San Francisco Chronicle) music of American composer Viet Cuong (b. 1990) has been commissioned and performed on six continents by musicians and ensembles such as the New York Philharmonic, Eighth Blackbird, Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Sō Percussion, Alarm Will Sound, Atlanta Symphony, Sandbox Percussion, Albany Symphony, PRISM Quartet, Orchestra of St. Luke's, and Dallas Winds, among many others. Viet's music has been featured in venues such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, National Gallery of Art, and Library of Congress, and his works for wind ensemble have amassed hundreds of performances worldwide, including at Midwest, WASBE, and CBDNA conferences. He was recently featured in The Washington Post‘s “21 for '21: Composers and performers who sound like tomorrow.” In his music Viet enjoys exploring the unexpected and whimsical, and he is often drawn to projects where he can make peculiar combinations and sounds feel enchanting or oddly satisfying. His recent works thus include a percussion quartet concerto, tuba concerto, snare drum solo, and, most recently, a concerto for two oboes. This eclecticism extends to the range of musical groups he writes for, and he has worked with ensembles ranging from middle school bands to Grammy-winning orchestras and chamber groups. Viet is also passionate about bringing different facets of the contemporary music community together, and he will have opportunities to do so with an upcoming concerto for Eighth Blackbird with the United States Navy Band. He recently began his tenure as the California Symphony's 2020-2023 Young American Composer-in-Residence, where he and the symphony will develop three new orchestral works together over three years. Viet is currently on the music theory and composition faculty at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He holds degrees in music composition from the Curtis Institute of Music (Artist Diploma), Princeton University (MFA), and the Peabody Conservatory (BM/MM). His mentors include Jennifer Higdon, David Serkin Ludwig, Donnacha Dennehy, Steve Mackey, Dan Trueman, Dmitri Tymoczko, Kevin Puts, and Oscar Bettison. During his studies, he held the Daniel W. Dietrich II Composition Fellowship at Curtis, Naumburg and Roger Sessions Fellowships at Princeton, and Evergreen House Foundation scholarship at Peabody, where he was also awarded the Peabody Alumni Award (the Valedictorian honor) and Gustav Klemm Award. The transcript for this episode can be found here. For more information about Viet Cuong, please visit his website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and SoundCloud.

For this Memorial Day episode of Moving Panels, Laramy shares his thoughts on the 7-issue collection of stories known as Captain America: Theater of War. There are ups and downs but overall Laramy felt that this was a good way to pay tribute to those who gave all and those who sacrifice so much for our country. The episode concludes with a playing of Taps. Twenty-four notes. It's a simple melody, 150 years old, that can express our gratitude when words fail. Taps honors the men and women who have laid down their lives and paid the ultimate sacrifice for the cause of freedom. Fair winds and following seas, shipmates. This version of taps was recorded by the United States Navy Band at the following locations: Display Ship Barry, Washington Navy Yard U.S. Navy Memorial, Washington, D.C. Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Va.

Diese Folge reden wir mit einer ganz besonderen Person (mit einem ganz besonderen Bart) über Europa, die EU und die Beziehung die ein Mensch dazu hat, der ausschließlich deutsch ist. Fühlt man sich dann eher Deutsch oder Europäisch? Oder vielleicht etwas ganz anderes? Seid gespannt und hört rein in die Farbe der...Union! _________________________________________________________________ Eine junge Frau, die in Deutschland geboren wurde, (aufgrund ihrer Hautfarbe) aber häufig nach ihrer Herkunft gefragt wird, trifft sich mit einer nicht mehr ganz so, aber immer noch jungen Frau aus Italien, die seit vielen Jahren in Deutschland lebt und ebenso häufig nach ihrer Herkunft gefragt wird. Das Ergebnis? Witzige und gleichzeitig tiefe Gespräche über Identität, Heimat, Rassismus und Gesellschaft, die zur Diskussion anregen und vielleicht Verständnis wecken. Bei „Die Farbe der Nation“ wird direkt und ungefiltert über die Dinge geredet die uns interessieren und bewegen. Dabei haben wir das Glück in zwei ganz besonderen Ländern zu Leben: Bayern und Sachsen, so unterschiedlich sie auch sein mögen, vielleicht haben sie mehr gemeinsam, als man denkt. Folgt uns unter www.petrakellystiftung.de und www.weiterdenken.de/de Fürs Logo bedanken wir uns bei JustcallmeMary Musik: Wikipedia/creative Commons, The Anthem of Europe, based on the final movement ("Ode to Joy") of Beethoven's 9th Symphony composed in 1823.

Mr. Alton Augustus Adams, Sr, born in 1889 on the island of St. Thomas in the Danish West Indies, is remembered as the first black bandmaster in the United States Navy, when he was appointed as such in 1917. “Although naval policy at the time restricted blacks to menial jobs, Adams and his all-black ensemble provided a bridge between the local population and their all-white naval administrators. His memoirs, edited by Mark Clague, with a foreword by Samuel Floyd, Jr., reveal an inspired activist who believed music could change the world, mitigate racism, and bring prosperity to his island home.” [The Memoirs of Alton Augustus Adams, Sr., First Black Bandmaster of the US Navy] His music was performed by the bands of John Philip Sousa and Edwin Franko Goldman and his march "The Governor's Own" (1921) appears as the first selection on the bicentennial album Pride of America. Bandmaster Adams' story and his music underwent a renaissance in recent years with the United States Navy Band rediscovering his compositions and his memoirs being included in a book published in 2007. We know him best here in the territory as the composer of our Virgin Islands March. On another topic: Queen Elizabeth of England has two birthdays every year (lucky her). Her actual birthday was April 21 but she will celebrate her 90th with the nation officially on June 10, 2016. The Queen’s official birthday date does change each year but is generally held on a Saturday in June. The Queen visited our neighbors in the British Virgin Islands in 1977. To bring that story to life is Valerie Sims of www.VintageVirginIslands.com .

George Zacharias "Nel cor pi√π non mi sento, Op. 38, MS 44" (mp3) from "Unaccompanied" (Divine Art) Buy at iTunes Music Store Buy at Rhapsody More On This AlbumArtist: George ZachariasIt takes a particular and extreme level of skill and dedication to perform virtuoso works for unaccompanied solo violin; suffice it to say these are qualities held by George Zacharias without doubt. This is a tour-de-force of musicianship and technique - and wonderful music too. Bartok's Sonata is presented in its original version and of the two awesome Paganini works, the 'God Save the King' Variations are very rarely heard. Dejan Laziƒ?, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Kirill Petrenko "Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 18" (mp3) from "Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 18 - Moments Musicaux, Op. 16" (Channel Classics Records) Buy at iTunes Music Store Buy at Rhapsody Buy at Napster More On This AlbumArtist: Dejan Lazic Pianist Dejan Lazic was born in Zagreb, Croatia, and grew up in Salzburg where he studied at the Mozarteum. He is quickly establishing a reputation worldwide as ìa brilliant pianist and a gifted musician full of ideas and able to project them persuasivelyî (Gramophone). The New York Times hailed his performance as ìfull of poetic, shapely phrasing and vivid dynamic effects that made this music sound fresh, spontaneous and impassionedî. As recitalist and soloist with orchestra, he has appeared at major venues in Berlin, Paris, London, Vienna, New York, Chicago, Tokyo, Buenos Aires and Sydney, and at the Edinburgh, Schleswig-Holstein, Verbier, Huntington and Menuhin/Gstaad Festivals. In the 2006/2007 season he gave his debut at the New York Lincoln Center and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw to great critical acclaim. Orchestral engagements included the Philharmonia Orchestra London with Vladimir Ashkenazy, Rotterdam and Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestras, Australian and Netherlands Chamber Orchestras, Danish Radio Sinfonietta and Bamberg Symphony Orchestra. Upcoming engagements are with London Philharmonic Orchestra and Kirill Petrenko, Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Atlanta and Indianapolis Symphony Orchestras and Basel Chamber Orchestra. He will be in season 2008/09 ìartist in residenceî at the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra. He has a growing following in the Far East where he returns in spring 2008 for engagements with the Sapporo Symphony and for recitals in Tokyo and Beijing as well as for an engagement with Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2009 a national Australian tour is planned with the Australian Chamber Orchestra. In the next season he will appear in recitals at the BBC Belfast, in Istanbul and Salzburg, Queen Elisabeth Hall London and at Vienna Musikverein to mention just a few. Alongside his solo career, Dejan Lazic is also a passionate chamber musician. He collaborates with artists such as Benjamin Schmid, Thomas Zehetmair, Gordan Nikolic and Richard Tognetti. Dejan records exclusively for Channel Classics. In autumn 2007 the first publication of the double portrait series with a Scarlatti/Bartok program is planned. The second CD will be released in 2008 with a Schumann/Brahms program as well as a recording of the Khachaturian Concerto and the Rachmaninov Paganini Rhapsody with the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra and a CD with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Rachmaninov Concerto No. 2. His last recording of Schubertís sonata D960 and his earlier one with Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 2 have earned rave reviews. His compositions include various chamber music and orchestral works. In 2007/08 he will premiere his ìKinderszenenî op. 15 for piano solo. Album Notes: You're going to compose your concerto. You will work with great ease. The concerto will be of excellent qualitySo spoke Dr. Nikolai Dahl, of one of the pioneers of psychiatry in Russia, and in this way he successfully restored Sergey Rachmaninov's concentration during a period of creative despair after the failure of his first Symphony. Later, Rachmaninov himself was to write: ìEven though it seems unbelievable, this therapy truly helped me. I was already starting to compose by summer!îAlthough they were separated by the crisis which interrupted his work, both the second Piano Concerto and the ìMoments Musicauxî date from the composer's early period, during which he was active primarily as a composer rather than a pianist. This explains the character of the second Piano Concerto, which partakes of both chamber music and symphony, despite the dazzling virtuosity of the solo piano part. Unlike many of Rachmaninov's other works, the concerto, dedicated in thanks to his doctor, was never revised after the first performance-another indication of the ease and freshness with which Rachmaninov went to work.The formal simplicity (e.g., in the first movement: main theme in the minor, second theme in the relative major, the development section laid out as a large-scale accelerando with gradually increasing dynamics, recapitulation with both themes, although given out with different instrumentation) is just as classically conceived as the choice of tonalities for the three movements (opening and closing movements in C minor, the slow central movement in E major, just as in Beethoven's 3rd Piano Concerto, except for the introductory modulations), and the balanced alternation between the freely improvisatory, martially strict, and dancelike, as well as between polyphonic and homophonic writing. However, all three movements are in 2/2 time, making the frequent shifts between 2/2 and 3/2 in the third movement all the more refreshing....http://www.channelclassics.com/ New Century Saxophone Quartet "The Art of Fugue" (mp3) from "Bach: The Art of Fugue" (Channel Classics Records) Buy at Rhapsody Buy at Napster More On This AlbumArtist: New Century Saxophone QuartetThe New Century Saxophone Quartet is a pioneering and versatile group winning new-found enthusiasm for its diverse repertory of innovative contemporary works and imaginative adaptations comprising an extraordinary range of musical styles. The only ensemble of its kind to win First Prize of the Concert Artists Guild Competition, the quartet is the recipient of grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Chamber Music America, and the Aaron Copland Fund for Music, and in its home state from the North Carolina Arts Council. New Century has been heard in major concert venues and on radio and television throughout the Americas and Europe; in recordings for the Channel Classics label; and in unusual performance settings including two Command Performances for President Clinton at the White House, an appearance with the United States Navy Band, and a Chinese New Year broadcast seen by a television audience of over 300 million worldwide. Peter Schickeleís Concerto for Saxophone Quartet and Orchestra is among the ensembleís numerous and widely-performed commissions and premieres, which also include works from Saturday Night Live bandleader Lenny Pickett, Bob Mintzer, Ben Johnston, David Ott, and Sherwood Shaffer. Album Notes:This project then is the culmination of over eight years studying, rehearsing, and performing Bach, and even in its "final" form on this disc represents a work in progress. As the quartet has discovered, one is never through learning Bach. Faced with the infinite possibilities of interpretation, one never plays it the same way twice. (Even in "extreme" interpretations, the music almost never suffers.) Also, one cannot spend this much time in the presence of the master without being fundamentally changed as a musician. The quartet has become keenly aware through this process that playing "The Art of Fugue" has changed everything ?ó the way they listen to each other, hear and experience an individual musical line and its relation to the surrounding parts, balance a chord or section of counterpoint, and even tune. The New Century Saxophone Quartet simply sounds different now, and they approach every piece, new and old, with a fresh perspective. It is their sincere desire to present the music of Bach in a way that is true to his intentions and the stylistic practices of the period, and yet with a vitality and freshness that can come from over 250 years of perspective. It is hoped you are as moved and inspired by the mastery of "The Art of Fugue" as they are.http://www.channelclassics.com/
