Niels Gade
(1817-1890), who was born
in Copenhagen and spent
most of his life there,
went to Leipzig in 1843
for further training on a
royal scholarship. There
he became friends with
Robert Schumann and found
an eager patron in Felix
Mendelssohn Bartholdy. He
is regarded as the most
important figure of the
Danish musical scene in
the 19th century.His
charming cycle 'Der
Kinder Christabend' was
published in 1859 with
titles and texts in
Danish. Although the
first German edition was
published in Leipzig in
1860, the English edition
was not published in
London until 1880. With
his five mood pictures
'Weihnachts-Glocken' -
'Weihnachtsbaum-Einzugs-M
arsch' - 'Ringeltanz der
Knaben' - 'Tanz der
kleinen Madchen' - 'Gute
Nacht', Gade portrays the
typical atmosphere of a
middle-class Christmas
evening in the 19th
century.
Niels Vilhelm Gade
