Espen Takle - Organ Concert - November 9, 2017 at Vasakyrkan, Gothenburg, Sweden
Herbert Howells (1892-1983)
Intrata - Three pieces for organ
Organist Espen Takle
The organ in Vasakyrkan was built in 1909 by Eskil Lundén in Gothenburg, who collaborated with Wilhelm Sauer in Frankfurt an der Oder in developing a style that can be said to be a synthesis of the Swedish and German romantic organ types.
The organ originally had 40 ranks
divided into three manuals and pedals.
In 1943 the organ of Olof Hammarberg was redeployed in the spirit of the time. Nine years later, the organ was rebuilt by Hammarberg with a back positive.
In 2001-02 the organ was refurbished again by the Grönlund organ builder company to improve clarity and speaking quality,
and all original memorabilia was restored to its original state.
Herbert Howells was born in Lydney, Gloucestershire, the youngest of the six children of Oliver Howells, a plumber, painter, decorator and builder, and his wife Elizabeth.
His father played the organ at the local Baptist church, and Herbert himself showed early musical promise, first deputising for his father, and then moving at the age of eleven to the local Church of England parish church as choirboy and unofficial deputy organist.
Both Vaughan Williams and the Tudor composers of which Tallis was one profoundly influenced Howells' later work.

Haga,Gothenburg.
HAGA:
Charming neighbourhood packed with cafés and shops.
Haga is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Gothenburg. The pedestrian street Haga Nygata is lined with well-preserved houses, many in the characteristic Gothenburg style called landshövdingehus with one floor in brick and the rest in wood. Today they house plenty of independent shops and cafés.
Haga is conveniently located within walking distance of the city centre, but if you arrive by tram you can get off at the stops Hagakyrkan or Järntorget. The area is found between Vasa and Linné and the main street Haga Nygata stretches from one end to the other.
Shopping + fika = match made in heaven.
A shopping spree is not complete without a proper coffee break, and in Sweden they call it fika. The Haga neighbourhood is perfect for the occasion. The selection of shops is varied, with everything from a soap shop to an independent toy store and a local marzipan and chocolate maker. You can also find interior decoration, fashion, antiques, tea, spices and olive oil. There truly is something for every taste and most shops are unique and can't be find elsewhere.
When you feel like a break, the nearest cup of coffee is literally a metre away. One of the most famous pastries in town – Hagabullen – a plate-sized cinnamon bun, is found at Café Husaren at Haga Nygata. But there are plenty of choices and pavement cafés and outdoor terraces line the street in summer. A farmer's market is found here in spring and autumn, and there is always a popular market in the run-up to Christmas.
Nowadays, Haga is located in the middle of the city. But this was not the case when Gothenburg's first suburb was planned in the middle of the 17th century, after orders from queen Kristina. The name Haga actually refers to the Swedish word hage, which means an enclosed field, giving a hint of the current nature and scenery at the time. If you climb the hill Skansberget, with the fortification Skansen Kronan on top, you get a nice view of the district and a large part of the city.
The neighbourhood has several well-preserved wooden houses built in the typical style called landshövdingehus (translated into county governor's house). The houses are characterised by having a ground floor in stone and two wooden floors on top. The typical wooden houses were built between 1870 and 1940, as housing for the working class in for example Haga, Majorna, Kungsladugård and Lindholmen. Fire regulations at at the time forbid houses higher than two storeys, but a ground-floor in stone made three-story houses possible despite this.
Haga is today a very popular residential area, but there are no hotels. That's no big deal, since the distances are really short anyway. Hotels located at Grönsakstorget, Esperantoplatsen and Vasastan are good options if you want to check in nearby.

STOCKHOLM: EXPLORING historic SAINT JAMES CHURCH ⛪ (Sankt Jacobs kyrka), SWEDEN
SUBSCRIBE: - Saint James's Church (Swedish: Sankt Jacobs kyrka) is a church in central Stockholm, Sweden, dedicated to apostle Saint James the Greater, patron saint of travellers. It is often mistakenly called St Jacob's. The confusion arises because Swedish, like many other languages, uses the same name for both James and Jacob.

Historical background (Source Wikipedia)
Carl Milles; (23 June 1875 – 19 September 1955) was a Swedish sculptor. He was married to artist Olga Milles and brother to Ruth Milles and half brother to the architect Evert Milles. Carl Milles sculpted the Gustaf Vasa statue at the Stockholm Nordic Museum, the Poseidon statue in Gothenburg, the Orpheus group outside the Stockholm Concert Hall, and the Fountain of Faith in Falls Church, Virginia. His home near Stockholm, Millesgården, became his resting place and is now a museum.
Milles (June 23, 1875 – September 19, 1955) was born Carl Wilhelm Andersson, son of lieutenant Emil Mille Andersson and his wife Walborg Tisell, at Lagga outside Uppsala in 1875. In 1897 he made what he thought would be a temporary stop in Paris on his way to Chile, where he was due to manage a school of gymnastics. However, he remained in Paris, where he studied art, working in Auguste Rodin's studio and slowly gaining recognition as a sculptor. In 1904 he and Olga moved to Munich.
Two years later they settled in Sweden, buying property on Herserud Cliff on Lidingö, a large island near Stockholm. Millesgården was built there between 1906 and 1908 as the sculptor's private residence and workspace. It was turned into a foundation and donated to the Swedish people in 1936.
In 1931, American publisher George Gough Booth brought Milles to Cranbrook Educational Community, in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, to serve as his sculptor in residence. Part of Booth's arrangement with his principal artists was that they were expected to create major commissions outside the Cranbrook environment.
Sculpture at Fort Christina
In 1938, for the 300th anniversary of the founding of New Sweden, the country commissioned a sculpture by Milles featuring a replica of the Kalmar Nyckel, the ship which originally brought the Swedish colonists to America. The sculpture is located at Fort Christina in Wilmington, Delaware, near the landing site where the colonists arrived in 1638.
In America he is best known for his fountains. Milles's fountain group The Wedding of the Waters in St. Louis symbolizes the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers merging just upstream. Commissioned in 1936 and unveiled in May 1940 to a crowd of about 3000 people, the fountain caused a local uproar because of its playful, irreverent, naked, and nearly cartoonish figures, and because Milles had conceived the group as a wedding party. Local officials insisted that the name be changed to The Meeting of the Waters.
Outside Detroit's Frank Murphy Hall of Justice is a Carl Milles statue, The Hand of God, which was sculpted in honor of Frank Murphy, Detroit Mayor, Michigan Governor, and United States Supreme Court Associate Justice. The statue was placed on a pedestal with the help of sculptor Marshall Fredericks. The statue was commissioned by the United Automobile Workers, and paid for by individual donations from UAW members. The Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research, an annual award for research on entrepreneurship, consists of a replica statuette of The Hand of God and a prize of 100,000 euros.
Milles Indian head
Photographs of his sculptures, taken for a monograph on Milles, are now held in the Carl Milles Photograph Collection, c. 1938–1939, in the Ryerson & Burnham Libraries at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Milles and his wife returned to Sweden in 1951, and lived in Millesgården every summer until Milles's death in 1955. They spent winters in Rome, where the American Academy had supplied them with a studio. Milles and his wife, Olga, who died in 1967 in Graz, Austria, are buried in a small stone chapel, designed by Milles, at Millesgården. Because Swedish law requires burial on sacred ground, it took the assistance of the then reigning Gustaf VI Adolf to allow this resting place.
