“…Beginning on 4 April 2020, Danish citizens were invited to join in with a singalong broadcast daily for fifteen minutes on Danish National TV, Morgensang Med Phillip Faber. The host led viewers in vocal warmups and then accompanied himself at the piano, singing two familiar songs [68]. The US-based Disney Company broadcast three singalongs in 2020, all featuring celebrity performances of songs from their catalog: The Disney Family Singalong (16 April), The Disney Family Singalong: Volume II (10 May), and The Disney Holiday Singalong (30 November).…”

Participatory music-making is any music-making activity in which individuals engage for the sake of the activity itself. It can be contrasted with presentational music-making, which takes the production of a performance or recording for consumption by an audience as a principal objective. During the COVID-19 pandemic, participatory musicians adopted a variety of technological means by which to make music together online. While virtual activities allowed these individuals to sustain their communities and grow as musicians, they did not satisfy all the needs met by in-person music-making. Additionally, online music-making increased access for some but posed barriers to access for others. Virtual participatory music-making remains relevant following the relaxation of pandemic restrictions, and it will likely grow in significance as communications technologies and internet access improve.

The Great (Danish) Dance Ball: Post-National Tendencies in Communal Singing Since the 1990’s, social theorists have identified a number of so-called post-national tendencies which show how the concept of the nation-state have been challenged due to, among other things, the advert of globalization. The article argues that such tendencies have also affected the culture of communal singing in Denmark during the 21st century. Even though the act of singing national songs together is still very much alive to this day, it seems that a growing number of Danish citizens have experienced a growing unease or even embarassment related to the celebration of the nation through national songs (”fædrelandssange”). Taking its departure from various approaches to communal singing, such incidents are registered and discussed in the article. This is also the case for a number of identifiable counter-tendencies, revealing a gap between the two practices of, respectively, celebrating the nation in song and distancing oneself from it. Finally, the article askes whether post-national phenomenons will prove able to challenge and perhaps alter the hegemonic nation-building discourse of communal singing in the future.

Mediated Community Singing

Audiovisual and broadcast media have been used to facilitate participatory singing since the early 20th century. In the 21st century—and especially since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic—they have become increasingly integral to a wide array of participatory singing practices. Any form of community singing that relies on audiovisual or broadcast media can be described as “mediated community singing.” In most cases, mediation separates participants from one another in time and space, and immersion in the experience requires participants to imagine one another and the singing community. A distinction can be drawn between in-person communities that employ media to facilitate their singing activities and dispersed communities that can only convene via mediation. Chapters in this section consider a range of mediated singing experiences spanning two centuries.
