HOLMBOE, VAGN (1909 - 1996)
The spirit of folk culture plays an important role in the music
of the Danish composer Vagn Holmboe. As was the case with Béla
Bartók (one of Holmboe's most important sources of inspiration),
folkloristic studies have here contributed significantly to the
compositional process. Holmboe is the most influential Danish
composers of the generation after Carl Nielsen and his large output
includes twelve symphonies, chamber concertos, and a long series
of extremely fine string quartets.
