Carl Nielsen (1865-1931), Denmark's greatest composer, believed that through music it is possible to learn about such necessary truths in life as right and wrong. His music both respects simplicity and masters the great. It has won a wide audience, because this living music still creates new contexts in this ever-changing world.

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
To all appearances Carl Nielsen?s life was the embodiment of a Hans Christian fairy-tale. Born in a village on Denmark?s central island of Funen, he rose to become his country?s unchallenged national composer and a vital renewing force in the twentieth-century symphonic tradition. His music spans the eras of Nordic late-Romanticism and international modernism? he showed his first symphony to Brahms, and his sixth and last was composed at the same time as Shostakovich?s first.00Nielsen?s letters, few of which have been previously translated, enshrine his charming yet fiery personality as vividly as his music. They take us from intense adolescent infatuation, through encounters with new music ...
