More DescriptionThe Danish composer Per Nørgård (b. 1926) is one of the most important living composers in Scandinavia. His music, while highly personal in form and expression, takes up the mantle of Carl Nielsen and Jean Sibelius. The Music of Per Nørgård is the first book on Nørgård in English. It has been written by composers and scholars who have all been concerned with Nørgård's music for many years. But the book is not exclusively meant as a contribution to research for the use of specialists; it is also intended for people with a general interest in contemporary music. It is published with a sampler CD with examples of various genres in Nørgård's oeuvre. The book also has a worklist and discography.
