In stanzic songs like hymns for congregational singing, the intimate relationship between the text and the tune that we find in through-composed art songs is rarely achieved. In the tradition of the Lutheran churches the music has mainly been the servant of the text. However, the work of the hymnal committee of the Church of Sweden, which compiled the hymnal of 1986, shows two major criteria for the combinations of texts and tunes. The first criterion is unity of text and tune, and the second one is the function of the hymn in the service. From an aesthetic point of view, the interrelation of text and tune may be considered in five parameters: meter and rhythm, structure, mood, semantics, and style. This is what I intend to discuss here. The second criterion, the function of the hymn, i.e. 'singability' for a congregation, and aptitude for a specific cultural context, has often been the decisive one. Singability is most often discussed in terms of the tune. The tune must fit into the liturgy and the tradition of the congregation. Liturgy and tradition vary widely between countries, as well as within different parts of a country, according to time and cultural habits. Sometimes one hymn-text in the hymnal has been given two different tunes for different kinds of services or culturally different congregations. (Less)

Goran Sonnevi's poetry represents a vast network of associations to other texts and other works of art. Consequently, this poetry often initiates a conversation on the present with partners from different times, Places and arts. "Burge, Oja; 1989" is an interesting example of such an intermedial conversation, set in the middle of a dramatic period of our time, the year 1989. The central theme is the problem of change. The scene is the island of Gotland, where old-fashioned houses and tools speak of the impact of the past. The speaker reflects on the political changes on the other side of the Baltic Sea, with references to artefacts in the landscape and in our cultural heritage. These intertextual and intermedial reflections function as a demonstration of an ethos: an openness to the Other, a willingness to respond to the world and to communicate with other voices in a boundless reciprocity, mediated by artefacts.

The aim of this study is to demonstrate how the cultural functions of a sacred motif have changed over the years by means of intermedial transformation. The object of study is an ekphrastic poem, "Theotokos", by the Swedish poet Ingemar Leckius. A couple of medieval Orthodox icon paintings - The Vladimir Madonna and The Virgin of the Sign - have served as sources of inspiration for the poet. A mythical or historical event was interpreted by the apostolic fathers, then reinterpreted by the anonymous icon painters, and eventually transformed into a modernist poem. The aesthetic perspective applied by the modem poet to the icon as to other works of art is far removed from the perspective of the icon painter in the Middle Ages and the apostolic fathers of the early Church. For them, the function was merely religious. Poetry today is created, distributed, read, and evaluated within a secular system where emphasis is put on the aesthetic rather than on the religious functions. In spite of these differences in emphasis, "Theotokos" conveys a deep religious emotion which still seems to be its basic cultural function. (Less)
