Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... C > St. Catherine of Sweden A B C D ... Z
St. Catherine of Sweden
The fourth child of St. Bridget Christian perfection and active charity. In spite of her deep love for her husband, Catherine accompanied her mother to Rome, where St. Bridget went in 1349. Soon after her arrival in that city Catherine received news of the death of her husband in Sweden. She now lived constantly with her mother, took an active part in St. Bridget's fruitful labours, and zealously imitated her mother's ascetic life. Although the distinguished and beautiful young widow was surrounded by suitors, she steadily refused all offers of marriage. In 1372 St. Catherine and her brother, Birger, accompanied their mother on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land; after their return to Rome St. Catherine was with her mother in the latter's last illness and death. In 1374, in obedience to St. Bridget's wish, Catherine brought back her mother's body to Sweden for burial at Wadstena, of which foundation she now became the head. It was the motherhouse of the Brigittine Order, also called the Order of St. Saviour. Catherine managed the convent with great skill and made the life there one in harmony with the principles laid down by its founder. The following hear she went again to Rome in order to promote the canonization of St. Bridget, and to obtain a new papal confirmation of the order. She secured another confirmation both from Gregory XI (1377) and from Urban VI (1379) but was unable to gain at the time the canonization of her mother, as the confusion caused by the Schism delayed the process. When this sorrowful division appeared she showed herself, like St. Catherine of Siena, a steadfast adherent of the part of the Roman Pope

SWEDISH HISTORY
9th-11th century
This was the Viking Age. Swedish adventurers in long ships traded,
looted and colonized all the coasts of the Baltic Sea.
12th-15th century
This was Sweden's medieval period. It was created from a loose federation of provinces and was named "Sweden". It became part of the Catholic European cultural sphere. In 1397, Sweden united with Denmark and Norway under Queen Margareta. This union lasted until early in the16th century.
16th century
Sweden left the union with Denmark and Norway, under the leadership of King Gustav Vasa. He created a strong central government and made Protestantism the State religion.
17th century
Sweden became a major power in Europe, partly through participation in the 30-Year's War. Leading monarchs: Gustaf Adolf II and Carl Gustaf X.
18th century Sweden's status as a major power disappears with the defeat of Karl XII by Russia and several other countries. Toward the end of the century, culture flourished in Sweden, under the leadership of King Gustaf III. 19th century Sweden enters the age of Industrial Revolution. Sweden experiences mass emigration, the workers' union movement, and the process of democracy.

Magnus F Andersson
MAGNUS F ANDERSSON was born in Karlskrona on 26th June 1953. He first studied to be a teacher in brass instruments at Stockholm's Music Pedagogical Institute, from which he graduated in 1978. From 1983 to 1990 he studied composition with Daniel Börtz, Lars-Erik Rosell, Bengt-Arne Wallin, Sven-David Sandström and Pär Lindgren.
Following the completion of his studies he spent some time in Paris in 1991, where he mostly composed, as well as visiting IRCAM. During this period he composed Under bron under tiden (Under the bridge, over time, 1991) for wind band and percussion, which was his breakthrough work as a composer. Another celebrated piece was the Förändringsfanfar (Variable Fanfare), a small piece for each day of the year, written for brass duo and commissioned by the Stockholm Cultural Capital of Europe 1998, where the work was performed each day that year. Andersson also composes electroacoustic music.
Andersson himself says that he tries to maintain a completely open attitude to composing. He establishes strict rules, admittedly, but at the same time he permits himself to break them occasionally. He also attempts to stretch his material with new forms, such as interactive music, for example, where the composition consists more of computer-programming than musical notes. One example of this is

Jan Bark
Born on 19th April 1934 in Härnösand. He was a dixieland jazz trombonist in Stockholm in the 1950's. He studied composition with Lars-Erik Larsson and Karl-Birger Blomdahl at the State Academy of Music in Stockholm. He has also studied with György Ligeti, who was a frequent guest lecturer at the Academy during the early sixties. Edgar Varèse and the San Francisco school are also important sources of inspiration. He travelled to the Far East in 1965.
Jan Bark's name is still primarily associated with the "Kulturkvartetten" (Culture Quartet) which was engaged in much pioneer work during the 1960's. It introduced new techniques of playing, included musical theatre as an important ingredient in concerts, and presented music that both satirized and criticized the musical scene's conventions of the time. The Kulturkvartetten consisted of four trombones and Bolos for 4 trombones (1963), written by Bark and another member of the quartet, Folke Rabe, was perhaps its most debated composition. These two composers collaborated on a number of occasions and provide a rare example of a successful partnership. In 1983 the two composers and trombonists started "Nya Kulturkvartetten" featuring music theatre like

ADELAIDE, Australia Defending champions Australia and Sweden were tied at 1-1 at the end of the opening day of their Davis Cup World Group first round clash. Former world No.1 Lleyton Hewitt put the home side back on level terms after Mark Philippoussis lost the first match. Hewitt beat Sweden's Robin Soderling 6-4 6-3 6-1, equaling Adrian Quist's Australian record for wins in the Davis Cup at 24 victories. "It (Quist's record) was in the back of my mind but the main priority was to try and get us back to 1-1," said Hewitt, who overcame a strong start by Soderling before gradually wearing the 19-year-old down. I just had to come out and play my best tennis. The first set was important but I got off to a good start and it was nice to have the win in straight sets."

Anne (Susanna) of Constantinople V Hermit (AC)
Born in Constantinople c. 840; died c. 918. Anne was orphaned at an early age and inherited a large fortune, which attracted many unsuitable men. She refused their offers of marriage, spent her money in the service of the poor, and finally lived half a century as a solitary on the Leucadian promontory of Epirus (Benedictines).
Apollinaris of Ravenna BM (RM)
Died c. 75. Apollinaris was the first bishop of Ravenna, Italy. According to his late and unreliable acta , he was a disciple of Saint Peter and a native of Antioch, who at one time survived a shipwreck in Dalmatia, was driven from his see three times, went into hiding the fourth time when Emperor Vespasian banished all Christians, and was discovered and beaten by a mob. But nothing is known with certainty about himeven the date of his death is debatable. Saint Bede's martyrology reports that he governed Ravenna for 20 years and was killed during Vespasian's reign. Some say he was repeatedly tortured for the faith and to have died in the process. But he may be a martyr only because he suffered for Christ; he may not have died of it. The best literary witness to his existence is
