Nørgård is the leading Danish composer of his generation. "The overriding constant in his output remains his devotion to the Sibelian ideal of continuously unfolding melodic lines in simultaneous evolution and, along with that – despite his fondness for abrupt change and highly volatile forms – an easily identifiable lyrical gift which makes his style one of the most personal in contemporary music." Julian Anderson in Grove Music Online. (21828)
