# The Types of the Scandinavian Medieval Ballad

The Types of the Scandinavian Medieval Ballad: A Descriptive Catalogue (TSB) is the designation for a cataloguing system for Scandinavian ballads.
It is also the title of the underlying reference book: The Types of the Scandinavian Medieval Ballad: A Descriptive Catalogue, edited by Bengt R. Jonsson, Svale Solheim and Eva Danielson, in collaboration with Mortan Nolsøe and W. Edson Richmond, published in 1978 in two places: as volume 5 of the series Skrifter utgivna av svenskt visarkiv (Stockholm: Svenskt visarkiv), and as volume 59 of series B of Oslo's Instituttet for sammenlignende kulturforskning (The Institute for Comparative Research in Human Culture) (Oslo, Bergen, and Tromsø: Universitetsforlaget; ISBN 82-00-09479-0).
It attempts to classify all specimens of traditional ballads known in one or more of the Scandinavian languages (Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic, Faeroese, and the extinct Norn).

## Structure and scope

Cognate ballads are assigned the same "TSB No." such as "A 38" (A 38: "The Two Sisters"), "A 50" (A 50: "Harpans kraft"), or "A65" (A 65: "Elvehøj — Knight released from elves at dawn"). It is somewhat analogous to the Aarne–Thompson classification system or motif-index for folktale studies, except that each ballad can only have one TSB No., whereas any given folktale can exhibit several motifs.
The TSB divides its list of types into six groups (with some subgroups), as below. The division essentially follows the one by A. I. Arwidsson, and Svend Grundtvig's original division in Danmarks gamle folkeviser (DgF); however, many of the ballads Grundtvig placed in group C have been reclassified. The number of ballad types in each group in the second printed edition of TSB from 1978 is given within parentheses. Since then, more types have been added to group F.
Ballad types in TSB: :
| A: | Ballads of the supernatural; | (75 types) |
| B: | Legendary ballads; | (37 types) |
| C: | Historical ballads; | (41 types) |
| D: | Ballads of chivalry; | (441 types) |
| E: | Heroic ballads; | (167 types) |
| F: | Jocular ballads. | (77 types) |
Each ballad type is given a short description, including a summary of the differences of the variants of the ballad and how they differ, and comprises a list of appearances in various Nordic ballad collections.
Almost all of the ballad types given in the Danish (DgF), Faroese (CCF), Icelandic (IFkv), or Swedish (SMB) ballad type listings also have a specific TSB type listing. (The exceptions are a few texts, which now are known to be of rather recent origin, or are otherwise found to be deficient.) Norsk visearkiv [no], which is responsible for the corresponding Norwegian ballad project, has decided to employ the TSB classification directly. Many Scandinavian ballad types are also easily recognised in ballad collections from other languages. E.g., the aforementioned type TSB A 38 corresponds to Child 10.

# The Dance: The History of American Minstrelsy

The Dance: The History of American Minstrelsy is an American stage play written by Jason Christophe White and co-directed by Aaron White, which opened in 2005 in the KAOS Cinefreestyle Theatre in Los Angeles. The play follows two characters as they relay the history of American Minstrelsy, as both main characters perform in blackface.

## Synopsis

The Dance is an educational play based upon the history of American Minstrelsy. This history is conveyed to the audience, but from the perspectives of two stock minstrel clowns, who perform this history as a historic minstrel production. Using authentic past and present day images, and with a text developed from 6 years of research, the audience ends up making comparisons between past-day minstrelsy, and the lingering perceptions that still exist today.

## Cast

* Aaron White
* Jason Christophe White

## Awards and critical response

Since the premiere of the play in 2005, The Dance has gathered outstanding reviews.
In 2007, The Dance: The History of American Minstrelsy won an NAACP award for “Best Playwright”. The production has garnered the support of Harry Belafonte, KCET and others.
# Shinjō Matsuri

The Shinjō Matsuri (新庄まつりの山車行事) is a Japanese festival celebrated from 24 to 26 August in Shinjō, Yamagata Prefecture. Mikoshi and approximately twenty floats are drawn through the streets, accompanied by odori, drums, and other performers. It has a two hundred and fifty-year history and was designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property in 2009.

## History

The festival in Shinjō, and in particular their use of floats called yatai (屋台), is thought to have been initiated in 1756 in the midst of a famine during the Hōreki era. The event was planned by Tozawa Masanobu (1720–1756) who was the head of the Shinjō domain. The festival served not only to serve as a time of prayer for the upcoming harvest, but also to improve morale among the populace. The floats appearing in the festival are thought to have been initially influenced by the Gion Matsuri, but have since focused on themes related to kabuki, legendary animals, and elaborate scenes in nature.
In 2009, the festival was granted the Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property designation by the Japanese government's Agency for Cultural Affairs.

## Event structure

The festival has three stages: yoi matsuri (宵まつり, "night festival"), hon matsuri (本まつり, "main festival"), and go matsuri (後まつり, "latter festival"). Floats will parade through the city while being accompanied by performers who play flutes, cymbals, taiko, and shamisen on a set repertoire of four pieces. The floats themselves are constructed by various municipalities within the city, and each municipality has its own associated performance group. Approximately 20 groups are represented in total. Generally, floats include life-size versions of famous kabuki performers, animals, and historical figures that are depicted in nature such as on mountains or rivers. One performance specific to the Shinjō Matsuri is the shishi-odori (鹿子踊り), a local dance that features men wearing deer-like hoods.
In 2015, event coordinators began using GPS systems to position floats for the parade, to help event attendants locate floats, and to ease concerns over traffic congestion.

# Taiwan Holiness Church

The Taiwan Holiness Church (Chinese:台灣聖教會) was established in 1926 when some Taiwanese youths who had converted to the Japan Holiness Church whilst studying in Japan, returned home to Taiwan and began evangelizing in the country along with fellow Japanese pastors.

## Historical background

American Holiness missionaries, belonging to the Oriental Mission Society had arrived in Tokyo, Japan since 1901 and established the Central Gospel Evangelical Office. There, they began to itinerate and preach their beliefs among the Japanese populace. The Holiness movement they represented was born in the United States after the American Civil War during a period of religious renewal in the years and was seen by many as a revitalization of the Methodist Church. A product of the Methodist and Episcopalian traditions, the Holiness Protestants accepted John Wesley's schema of justification and sanctification but wanted church leaders to be more willing to allow the Holy Spirit to move within them. Out of this desire for a more intense religiosity was born a new church movement that grew and prospered in America in the last four decades of the 19th century. Seminaries and churches had been established by 1900 and Holiness missionaries were travelling to all parts of the world. They reached Japan in 1901. In 1905, after gaining enough converts, these missionaries were able to establish the Far Eastern Church. Over the next two decades, the missionaries and their Japanese converts began to consider Taiwan as a site for mission work. Although they visited the island in 1913 and again in 1917, on both occasions they felt that the time was not yet right to begin the evangelistic work. But in 1926, they were ready to move ahead.
The converts, accompanied by pastor Zhong Tianjing, settled in Taipei in January and launched their campaign. Within a few days, a Holiness Church was organized in a building on the main north–south thoroughfare of the city on Zhongshan Road. It served as the home of the new congregation. Pastor Zhong then moved on to the bustling port in the island's southwest, Kaohsiung. Within a few months, a core of believers had emerged to found a church on the city's Gaishang Street. Zhang continued to itinerate and attract an audience. November saw him on the island's east coast of Hualien, a port city. Once again, those who heard him proved receptive, and still another church was founded. Thus in less than a year, Holiness evangelists had planted three churches in Taiwan. Pastor Zhong returned to Tokyo at the end of 1926 but came back to Taiwan in November 1927. Again he met with success. He planted a church that month in the southeastern corner of the island in Taitung. December 1927 found him in the Japanese-developed port of Keelung, just northeast of Taipei. There he delivered a powerful series of sermons heard by attentive and receptive audiences. Soon the city's Protestant converts joined forces and founded the Keelung Holiness Church.

# Piazza Umberto I

Piazza Umberto I (or Piazza Umberto Primo from the 1930s, La Piazzetta, meaning "little square"; nicknamed, "the little theater of the world") is the most famous square of the island of Capri, Italy. The square is located in the historic center of Capri, in the eponymous town Capri, on the eastern end of the island, and since Roman times, it has been considered the center of the town and the meeting point of the island by both residents and others.

## History

The church of Santo Stefano was built in the eighteenth century and was converted into a cathedral when the Bishop of Capri established his seat there. A staircase was added to connect the church with the square and the bishop's residence, now the town hall. The bishopry remained until 1818 when, by order of Pope Pius VII, the diocese was suppressed and Capri was absorbed into the Diocese of Sorrento.
The square was already well developed as the center of local life when, in 1900, it was home to produce markets of vegetables and fish and meat. The square took on a more worldly character only when Raffaele Vuotto opened his bar, the Grand Café Vuotto between 1934 and 1938, arranging the chairs and tables outside. Afterwards, other islanders opened their own businesses, and from that time on, the Piazzetta became the heart of social life on the island.

## Description

The main element of the square is the clock tower, which is very often associated with the island of Capri; it may have come the church of Hagia Sophia or a watchtower of the adjacent wall.
There are many inscriptions in the square: for example, outside the town hall there are two marble plaques which resemble Vittorio Emanuele II and Umberto I, another plaque commemorates the Caprese Gennaro Arcucci, martyr of the Bourbon restoration. Replacing one of the four facades of the tower is a plaque commemorating the fallen in World War I.
Other plaques (raised in 1908) are present in the courtyard of City Hall, where two epigraphs remember Henry Wreford, a Times correspondent who came to Capri for a day and decided to settle for fifty years, and the Scot George Sidney Clark, who in 1861 opened the largest hotel on the island, the notable Grand Hotel Quisisana.
