Ressursorientert musikkterapi av Randi Rolvsjord

-Terapi handler vel så mye om å stimulere klientens sterke sider som å fikse problemer eller kurere sykdom, sier Randi Rolvsjord. I en ny bok viser hun hvordan man kan bruke en ressursorientert tilnærming til musikkterapi innen psykisk helsearbeid.

Ressursorienter musikkterapi beskrives ved hjelp av nyere forskning og teori innen positiv psykologi, empowerment filosofi  og musikkvitenskap og gjennom case studier.  Eksemplene er hentet fra musikkterapeutisk praksis i psykisk helsearbeid. Samarbeidet med to unge kvinner bidrar til å belyse den terapeutiske prosessen både fra klientene sine ståsteder og fra perspektivene til teraputen og forskeren.

Where Music Helps: Community Music Therapy in Action and
Reflection

‘This remarkable book, which describes results from an international, multi-sited study of community music
therapy, conceptualizes music therapy as social action and as interaction in particular contexts. The eight
case studies it presents show us that, far from being like a drug, music’s healing powers emerge from within
communities of practice. Where Music Helps shows us where and how music offers us ways of making
environments hospitable, often under the deceptively simple rubric of having fun.’

The space between us

Two outstanding solo performers, Sandvik and Olsen frequently meet in a duo setting for flute and guitar. They have challenged contemporary composers to come up with developing and meaningful music for the combination, resulting in the beautiful musical dialogue on this release.

Gro Sandvik and Stein-Erik Olsen have for many years collaborated on chamber music projects all around the world, premiering numerous new works for flute and guitar. On this album they focus on \\\'the space between them\\\', with two pieces written especially for them. Strong and characteristic works that unite the virtuoso element with an artistic sensitivity.

Koshkin and Denisov
Nikita Koshkin studied guitar and composition at the Moscow conservatory. His Oratorium Lacrimae (Oratorio of Grief) can be seen as a comment to the values of the present day. Edison Denisov was a leading Russian composer in the generation after Shostakovich, and not afraid to introduce avant-garde music in a country where experiments within the arts was taboo. Denisov’s list of works is long, and includes music to around 60 movies.

Liebermann and Zahler
Lowell Liebermann made his debut in Carnegie Hall only sixteen years old, with his own First Piano Sonata on the program. His list of works includes opera, orchestral, vocal and chamber music. His music is notable for its stylistic resourcefulness and polished craftsmanship. Noel Zahler, Head of the Carnegie Mellon University School of Music, Pittsburgh, has written a variety of vocal and instrumental compositions. The title track was commissioned for this recording, and the composer thrives with a ‘remarkable experience filled with the opportunity to explore a soundscape that can only be realized by the finest of performers’.

A critically acclaimed duo
Gro Sandvik, solo flute of the Bergen Philharmonic for many years and Professor at the GriegAcademy, Bergen, studied with a number of outstanding performers, including Marcel Moyse and Bud Beyer. Sandvik have given concerts and master classes in the USA, as well as Belgium, Poland and UK. Stein-Erik Olsen, Professor at the Grieg Academy, studied with Alexandre Lagoya at Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris. They have both recorded several albums to great critical acclaim.
