Revisited - Danish choral
works for mixed voices a
cappella. The University
Choir Lille MUKO and
soprano Else Torp,
conducted by Jesper Grove
Jørgensen. For many
years now there has been
a broad international
interest in performing
Danish choral works, not
least from the 20th
century, but often the
Danish lyrics have been a
hindrance in realising
this goal outside
Denmark. With this in
mind we have thought it
important to make Danish
choral music more
available through the
release of selected works
in which the Danish text
is translated into
English. With the present
choice we have
endeavoured to present
works which fully
demonstrate the wide
range and originality
ofDanish choral music:
the particular, lyrical
Danish tone of Svend S.
Schultz and Jørgen
Jersild; the original
simplicity of Pelle
Gudmundsen-Holmgreen; the
characteristically Danish
late romanticism of P.E.
Lange-Müller and Rued
Langgaard; and the music
of composers with their
own particular musical
idiom, such as Vagn
Holmboe, Bernhard
Lewkovitch, and Bo
Holten. We have also
tried to choose works
with lyrics by writers
that are specifically
Danish in origin,
including Hans Christian
Andersen, Johannes V.
Jensen, and Tove
Ditlevsen. We hope that
this release will help to
spread knowledge and
understanding of Danish
choral music outside
Denmark. (Jesper Grove
