\"Carl<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1865-1931<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 the composer with the warm songs of life and the cold sounds of death<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All Danes have an opinion about the music of Carl Nielsen: Either we don\u2019t like it, or else we just love his many songs. Or perhaps we find his six symphonies too knotty. And can we really call his particular tone \u201cDanish\u201d in any true sense? Surely no composer in the world<\/em> has remained so controversial so long after his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl Nielsen\u2019s own life also went from one extreme to another: Consider his path from an impoverished upbringing in Sortelung on Funen to the role of nationally-renowned composer and director of the Academy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Or consider his never-dull marriage to the sculptor Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen \u2013 increasingly recognised as an artist fully on a par with him. Neither is it really possible to put a label on his music: It is neither Late Romantic nor Neoclassical, neither very clever nor very amateurish, neither particularly elitist nor particularly popular. Carl Nielsen himself did not wish his music to be labelled as \u2018Danish-minded\u2019 music, and in fact disliked all<\/em> talk of music as anything other than music in its own right. And his songs and hymns are thus a microcosm of it all: Until recently, ordinary Danes probably knew dozens<\/em> of them. People have delighted in Irmelin Rose<\/em> and shuddered over S\u00e6nk kun dit hoved (\u2018Just bow your head\u2019)<\/em> for more than a century. You get all the most important aspects of Carl Nielsen\u2019s art in even a very short song with the same music in all the verses: his small steps in the melody, his varied harmonies on the piano, his characteristic joy in the music here and now. Carl Nielsen will even sometimes allow the music to end in a \u201cwrong\u201d key \u2013 simply because he is concerned with the expression from note to note, and less so with the form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foreigners don\u2019t always understand the beauty of his songs. They are delighted by his orchestral music, but disappointed in his pieces for voice and piano. Despite the close relationship Danes have with the songs, they do not always sound like anything special to others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The explanation is probably once again our dislike of pathos: Carl Nielsen simply<\/em> did not wish to set his delights and his horrors to melodramatic music. He chose his \u2018small\u2019 solutions with care, and from there\u00a0 found his way to the understated side of Danish culture.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
