What has been done with the material in more recent times?

Performance & recording

Performances seem to have been rare, although more are coming all the time: Roman's music is fairly well-represented in recordings and concert programmes in Sweden; the Grave-Müllers in Gothenburg have showcased repertoire from Skara, as has Eva Nässén Düben songs. My own ensembles have featured repertoire from Växjö, Härnösand and Skara.

A few of the works have been, or are to be, recorded.

Musica Rediviva has recently produced a CD with Albrici's music with an ensemble from Italy.

Musica Humana has a recording of repertoire from Härnösand with two baroque flutes and harpsichord/harp.

The independent record company Hurv has a CD with duets from an 18thC. fiddler's manuscript, as well as a selection as sheet music..

Norrbottens Museum (not listed among the 33 libraries in the central catalogue, by the way) has a cassette with selections from Gertrude Sophia Solander's music-book - although the extent to which this gives a fair impression of an 18th-century sound is debatable.

There are some items in the Musica Suecia series.

Bit by bit it is becoming possible for people to hear a representative sample of this delightful repertoire, to have a real idea of how music sounded in Sweden in earlier times.
