FULL TEXT The first folksong collection in Luxembourg, Die luxemburger Volkslieder älterer Zeit, compiled by the folklorist and ethnologist Edmond de la Fontaine (alias Dicks, 1823-1891), was published posthumously in 1904. It contains only forty songs, and due to the unscientific way they had been collected, some important information is missing; nonetheless it offers a first glipse into folksongs in 19th-century Luxembourg. Their lyrics were adapted to the Luxembourg context, although only a few songs originate from the country. A scholarly, methodical folksong collection following the model of Erk and Böhme’s Deutscher Liederhort (1893-94) was published in 1937, entitled Singendes Volk. Its author, Mattias Thill, a primary school teacher, spent about four decades collecting songs throughout the Grand Duchy; again, most songs are variants of existing songs of non-Luxembourgish origin, 65% from Germany and a mere 3% from France. The remaining 32% have Luxembourgish texts (which, again, speaks for their more complete integration into Luxembourg life, not necessarily for a Luxembourg origin). Indigenous songs are often related to the military history and to the fortress of Luxembourg. Folk music in Luxembourg is predominantly vocal, with the one curious exception of a mystical blind violin-playing minstrel, Matthias Schou (alias Blannen Theis, 1747-1824) who was led from parish fair to parish fair by his wife and entertained the peasant population with his songs. Until today no sources have been discovered, but it is assumed that this troubadour is at the origin of melodies gathered a century later. In three cases, songs were subsequently arranged to instrumental music at a later date and gained a persistent performative presence to the point of becoming markers of Luxembourgish musical identity: the Wilhelmus, the Song of the dancing Procession, and the Hämmelsmarsch The Wilhelmus is the anthem of the Grand-Ducal court (not of the country), and is performed at the occasion of an official appearance of the Grand-Duke or of a member of his family. The melody is a variant of the Dutch national anthem Wilhelmus van Nassouwe, evidently based on Mozart’s Seven variations on Wilem Van Nassau (1766, KV 25) The “Song of the Dancing Procession” originates from the famous Procession of Echternach, and is based on the German folksong Adam hatte sieben Söhn’, arranged to a Rheinländerpolka for wind band in a medium tempo suitable for pilgrims taking three steps forward and two steps backwards. The Hämmelsmarsch, a beggar song derived from a 14th-century shepherd’s fair song, was played by pipers and drummers while visitors had to pay a fee. Modern-day local wind bands maintain this tradition, strolling the streets during parish fairs and requesting financial donations while playing this song. [less ▲]

Choral societies: Luxembourg

FULL TEXT Before 1848 only few choirs existed in Luxembourg: “Les Villageois” in Contern (1825), the parish choir of Echternach (1834) and the Société d’amateurs de chant (also known under the German name of Liedertafel in Luxembourg City (1843). In 1848, the Dutch King William II (who was also Grand-Duke of Luxembourg) proclaimed, under the pressure of the European wave of democratic revolts, a more liberal constitution, which conferred the right of association. As a result, amateur ensembles began to emerge all over the Grand-Duchy. During the following five years about ten choral societies were founded – a large number for a small country. Wind bands and gymnastic clubs also proliferated. The main objective of these societies was to engage in cultural-collective leisure pursuits; no professionalization was involved (to this day, Luxembourg still lacks a professional choir.) At this early stage, choirs were men-ony. They followed the German model of Zelter’s (Berlin) and Silcher’s singing societies (“Liedertafel”). The repertoire consisted at this initial phase of four-part songs of German Romanticism. Later on, Luxembourg composers like Jean-Antoine Zinnen (1827-1898), Laurent Menager (1835-1902) and their successors Gustave Kahnt (1848-1923) and Alfred Kowalsky (1879-1943) furnished local compositions. Analogous to these secular societies were the church choirs, one of the first being in 1844 the Caecilian association (Cäcilienverein) of St. Peter, today Notre-Dame cathedral in Luxembourg City. (Luxembourg became an independent diocese in 1870.) It introduced the tradition of the German Cecilian movement to the Grand-Duchy. A first wind band and choir competition was organized in 1852; eight choral societies participated. In the following years, the demand for competitions and song festivals increased, and they were organized in many localities by a semi-official federation. In 1864, 26 wind bands and choral societies founded an official federation (Allgemeiner Luxemburger Musikverein). The concert celebrating its official foundation was the occasion of the first performance, by 500 singers and musicians, of Zinnen’s anthem Ons Hémecht (“our homeland”), later to become the Grand Duchy’s national anthem. By 1914 the number of choral societies had grown to ca. 40. Many of these were based in the indistrial south with its developing steel industry. Here, choral societies and wind bands became meeting grounds for the sociable integration of Italian immigrants. [less ▲]

The rapid advances in medical science over the past two decades have already changed the way medicine is practiced, but the acceleration of advances suggests that health care systems worldwide are facing a tsunami of new advances in understanding and in technology that will require radical reorganization of the health care system. The improved possibility of personalizing health care is one of the major drivers of change. Unfortunately, health care systems respond very slowly to innovation, and radical changes are almost impossible. In this article, we outline various changes that are expected to happen in the future in relation to personalized medicine, and discuss why behavioral scientists must participate in the reshaping of health care systems and the successful delivery of personalized care at the individual level.

The search of social determinants of health and disease has advanced substantially over the last decade. We present recent theoretical advancements, methodological approaches, and a selection of empirical evidence for the three main research strands: First, social inequalities can explain health differences. Here, we first focus on hierarchic social stratification with regard to socioeconomic and social class differences influencing health, then we extend the view towards non-hierarchic social stratification with regard to ethno-cultural differences, lifestyle, and cognitive and non-cognitive abilities. We shortly mention social relations and social network as determinants of health. Last, we use the concept of social times to distinguish age, period, and cohort effects in population health. After presenting evidence on contextual social determinants of health, we close with methodological challenges, social policy implications, and translation to practice. [less ▲]

A person’s reference group can be considered either as a source of normative orientation or as a group of social comparison in making a judgment, irrespective of one’s group membership. The concept has mainly been applied in two theoretical traditions of research: While symbolic interactionists and social psychologists outlined the normative importance of reference groups for the development of the self, structural functionalist sociologists analyzed how material deprivation is estimated relative and with reference to other groups of comparison in the social structure. The concept has also played an important role in developing the discipline’s methodology of social research. [less ▲]

Molecules of many kinds are abundant in circulating blood and play a wide range of important roles, both known and unknown. These include macromolecules like proteins and nucleic acids and a wide range of smaller molecules. A number of questions are raised by recent findings of stable RNA molecules in plasma that is circulating RNA outside of cells. Among the issues that need to be addressed are: what are the origins of these RNA molecules; what are the mechanisms by which they enter and are stabilized in the blood; what are their possible biological functions; and finally, what are the potential applications of these extracellular RNA molecules in diagnostic and therapeutic medicine? While the precise biological functions remain to be pinned down, extracellular RNA has been proposed as a vehicle for a previously unknown cell-cell communication system. Recent reports of the detection of foreign, exogenous sources of some of the extracellular RNA have thus intensified the need to investigate and understand these processes. This overview summarizes the findings, some recent developments, and the current state of research in the circulating RNA field, and some of the key open questions in the field are specifically addressed.
