Smålands Musikarkiv
På skivan Prowinciale tar sig Hedin & Meidell an småstadens dansmusik under den gustavianska perioden. Som mötesplats mellan storstadsmoden och landsbygdstraditioner var småstäderna viktiga musikaliska centra, inte minst för utbildning i musik och dans. Under slutet av talet samsades här sirliga och galanta menuetter med snabba engelska kontradanser och svängiga polskor.
I samarbete med Smålands Musikarkiv har Hedin & Meidell djupdykt i gustaviansk dansmusik ur spelmansböcker med kopplingar till Växjö. På Prowinciale hörs såväl dansmusik av lokala kompositörer som vida spridda melodier som även nådde fram till småstaden i mörkaste Småland. Allt framförs av Ida Meidell Blylod (barockfiol, violino piccolo) och Johan Hedin (nyckelharpor) på deras personliga, intrikata och variationsrika sätt. Musiken på Prowinciale kompletteras av en sidig fördjupande booklet som även innehåller noter till av många av de inspelade melodierna.

I samlingen hittar vi affischer, program, flyers, musikalier, brevpapper, visitkort, kuvert, blanketter, medlemsmatriklar, entrébiljetter, parkeringsbiljetter och diverse kuponger. Vilken information kan samlingen ge? Jo, att Värends hembygdskör sjöng in julen på Arabyskolan den 18 december Eller att en ensemble ur Wiener Symphoniker spelade Strauss-musik i Växjö Folkets Park den 3 december En romansafton med hovsångerskan Elisabeth Söderström gavs på Katedralskolan den 14 mars , och i Stålhagsskolans matsal i Hultsfred spelades musik av sex småländska samtida tonsättare den 5 april The Ark spelade på Emmaus-festival i Björkå 30 juli , och de pop- och rockband som spelade på Emmabodafestivalen presenteras inramade av starkt neonlysande färger som man inte kan undgå att få en liten energikick av.
Det småländska musiklivet var brokigt, men hade liknande behov av trycksaker. Därför vände sig många till Lindströms, och nu finns denna saliga samling att ta del av hos Smålands Musikarkiv.
