In Denmark the first major proof of music-making is found in the Bronze Age lurs dating back to 1100-500 B.C. In 1797, six well-preserved, masterly crafted wind instruments cast in bronze were discovered near Copenhagen. When they were found nothing definite was known about their original designation, and so they were named lur, a term which in the Nordic sagas denoted the signal horns of the Viking Age. These horns, of a much later vintage, were probably made of wood and enveloped in birch bark the way they are still known in, for instance, Norway where until recently they were used by the shepherds driving their flocks to pasture in the mountains. The most famous of the horns of oliphant shape in massive gold were found in 1639 and 1734 in South Jutland. Unfortunately, they were stolen in 1802 from the Royal Art Collection and melted down. The next evidence of music-making in Denmark does not materialize until the advent of Christianity in the late 10th century A.D. Singing in the churches, which were erected in rapid succession in large numbers, first of wood, from the 12th to the 16th centuries of stone in the Romanesque and later Gothic building style, followed the Catholic practice as it was received from England and North Germany. The first preserved note sheets stem from the 12th century and are from Catholic church songbooks which exemplify the predominant uniformity of Roman liturgy in medieval Europe. A particularly important element of Danish cultural life in the late Middle Ages is the folk ballads of which we have a few remnants from the 14th and 15th centuries but which are found in larger numbers in the ballad books of the 16th and 17th centuries.

Per Nørgård in the History of Music by Erling Kullberg This article will attempt to situate Per Nørgård's evolution as a composer in a chronological context, as a complex interplay - harmonic consonance, opposition, interaction - with developments in the world of music in general. The myth of Carl Nielsen The Universe of the Nordic Mind Modernism Vocal serialism ... Per Nørgård as a model The myth of Carl Nielsen When Per Nørgård began his work as a composer, the musical scene in Denmark was permeated with aesthetic musical norms which had originated at the beginning of the 20th century with Carl Nielsen and his circle. The person of Carl Nielsen was surrounded with such an aura of veneration that his attitudes to questions of musical aesthetics totally dominated the field, excluding practically all other alternatives. This was no less true after his death, when something close to a Carl Nielsen myth developed, establishing the norms for what was 'right and proper' in Danish music. Jan Maegaard, a composer, looks back as follows:

Niels Rosing-Schow English - Dansk - Deutsch English A Vision of Creating Human Music - A Portrait of the Composer Niels Rosing-Schow by Anders Beyer "Archetypes play a role in my ideas when I write music. What the music can do is insist on our humanity. For me that is neither optimistic nor pessimistic. But perhaps it is inward-looking: regardless of what we do or think, how we organize ourselves in the world and organize the world, we must not lose sight of our humanity." This aspect is most clearly expressed in Rosing-Schow's vocal and stage works. His attitude to a possible organization of the world is reflected in his choice of texts and in his way of composing dramatic processes. It has always been a challenge for Rosing-Schow to set texts to music, ever since his first works with Brecht texts. But it was the chamber opera Brand (Fire) of 1989 that put the composer on the track of a musical idiom that can be accommodated to an extended dramatic process. Brand has been followed up by a new opera, Dommen (The Judgement), premiered in 1996.

A Hite Bytes Special The First Carl Nielsen International Clarinet Competition Odense, Denmark June 13-22, 1997 (Carl Nielsen, in "Living Music") C Odense Coat of Arms The city of Odense hosted the first Carl Nielsen Clarinet Competition June13 to 22, 1997. Odense, home town of the famous Danish composer, has held international competitions for the violin since 1980. Based on the success of these competitions, the organizers decided to hold similar contests for performers of the two other instruments for which Nielsen wrote concertos, clarinet and flute. The clarinet competition was open to clarinettists of all nationalities under the age of thirty. Forty eight performers invited to Odense were selected on the basis of their taped recording of the Stravinsky Three Pieces and the first movement of the Mozart concerto. W inners The winners of the first Carl Nielsen Clarinet Competition were: Spyros Mourikis (Greece), first prize. Spyros earned his diploma at the Athens Conservatory at the age of eighteen. He continued his studies at the Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique in Paris where his teachers were Michel Arrignon and Maurice Bourgue. He was awarded first prize in clarinet and chamber music at the Conservatoire in 1995. He is currently principal clarinettist of the Greek Radio Symphony Orchestra. Igor Begelman (U.S.A.), second prize.

19. "To Combine The Savage With The Refined" either shows a lack of selfknowledge or modesty; Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreenis one of the most important figures in contemporary danish composition. http://home.wanadoo.nl/eli.ichie/webpagepgh/interviewpgh.html

"To combine the savage with the refined" Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen - an established Danish outsider in conversation with Anders Beyer If anyone decided to assess Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen one of the major points must be his persistent attempts at avoiding the musical mainstream. He describes himself as being on the sidelines of Danish music, a statement that either shows a lack of self-knowledge or modesty; Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen is one of the most important figures in contemporary Danish composition. He has been called an established outsider, and is constantly at odds with 'the good taste'. Compromises do not exist for Gudmundsen-Holmgreen, whose art exhibits a consequent rejection of large scale topics. He shows a pronounced scepticism as to the viability of our culture in general, and a thoroughly black view of life in particular. If one philosophy of life and art approaches that of Gudmundsen-Holmgreen, t must be the absurdism of Samuel Beckett. As he puts t: The provocation, the bizarre instrumentations, can be heard in many of the composer's pieces. It is, however, possible with hindsight to question the embarrassing or provoking in combining cello and carhorn; after the Ligeti opera "Le Grand Macabre", it can hardly be called an embarrassing novelty. The composer answers: That's right. But It doesn't have that much to do with novelty. It's more a question of which audience you meet. It could be extremely embarrassing to arrive at a German music festival with something nice. Embarrassment is a wide expression. Embarrassment is depending on the 'style' in a milieu. The audience is afraid of getting into bad company. I have the de finite impression that at times I succeed in curling the toes of both the lay and the professional, which is an exquisite honour.
