The next year the idea was launched at the TT Teenager Jamboree in Sandefjord, Norway. This was the start of the Ten Sing (Teenage Singing) movement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWorking with the Norwegian YMCA and YWCA, Grønner started Ten Sing in the Norwegian city of Bergen, basing it on the American Sing Out choirs (“Up with people”) which the MRA (the Moral Re-Armament movement) had initiated in 1965. At about the same time Sigurd Osberg and Holm W Holmsen started the choir Crossing in Asker (town near Oslo) based on the same pattern (they had attended the Up with People show in Njårdhallen in Oslo in 1966), but while Ten Sing in Bergen presented an entertainment show with “meaningful songs”, the Crossing put “rhythmic hymns” on their repertoire. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Norwegian YMCA and YWCA then started “planting” Ten Sing choirs across the country. This became the Ten Sing movement which later was strongly influenced by the youth rebellion and Jesus movements of 1968. The choirs and bands were to be led by the youths themselves (with skilled guidance and courses given by leaders). Young people just into their teens were given artistic leadership responsibilities. Aided by resources provided by the Lutheran Evangelical Church of Norway (the state church) the youths had access to instruments, practice venues and equipment, and enjoyed the trust of artists and composers. This is how Ten Sing and the marching band movement became perhaps the most influential and important recruiting grounds for Norwegian singers and musicians over the last 50 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKKV has had the pleasure of producing an anniversary album featuring ten artists with Ten Sing backgrounds.

This new song, together with such well-loved songs such as \"Silent Night\", \"Nå vandrer fra hver en verdens krok\" (Pilgrims to Bethlehem), \"Deilig er jorden\" (Beautiful Saviour) \"Det lyser i stille grender\" (Rise up Shepherd) are included on the CD. This year the song written by Norwegian artists Ole Paus and Jonas Fjeld \"Engler i sneen\" (Angels in the Snow) has also been included. This also applies to \"Romjulsdrøm\" (Mid-Christmas Dream) with lyrics by Alf Prøysen, \"I den kalde vinter\" (A Christmas Carol – In the Bleak Winter), an old English Christmas carol translated by Kari Bremnes, \"Himlen i min favn\" (Heaven in my Bosom) by Carola Häggquist and Erik Hillestad, and \"Mariavise\" (Mary's Song) by Hans Olav Mørk and Tore Aas.
