This book offers a comprehensive account of Carl Nielsen as a composer, viewed from the point of a musicologist with an international background and with considerable insight into Danish language and culture. Anne-Marie Reynolds examines a large portion of Carl Nielsen's songs, both in relation to his own production and in a broader cultural/historical context. This is also the first time in the reception history of Carl Nielsen that an in-depth analysis of his songs is presented. In addition to this analysis, the author provides a stylistic comparative examination of the songs, as well as two of his most important works the first symphony and the opera Masquerade. This is done to demonstrate that the opposition between Carl Nielsen as a composer of songs and Carl Nielsen as the composer of "great" works is only a seeming opposition. The book which is the result of a collaboration with Niels Krabbe, head of the Carl Nielsen Edition at The Royal Library will be published simultane

In 1830, near the village of Berthouville in France, a farmer discovered 25 kg of Roman silver service dating from the 1st ? 3rd centuries AD. It had remained untouched for 1500 years. What was nearly miraculous was that the treasure had not then been scattered to the four winds, sold or melted down, but ended up in the Bibliotéque nationale de France.00Today the treasure permits rare insight into life around a Roman temple. Together with other contemporary objects of great value from the Roman Empire it tells us about a life of decadence, but also reflects the cultural sophistication and intellect of Romans when conversation dealt with the motifs of the silverware ? the Greek myths.00Exhibition: Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen, Denmark (14.03.-02.09.2018).
