Langgaard's morning

Ribe Art Museum, garden and Ribe River.

A poetic morning walking concert in Ribe Kunstmuseum's garden by Ribe Å, Sct.
Nicolai Gade and in the museum.
Inspired by Johan Thomas Lundbye's painting The Rising Sun over the Sea (1838) and Rued Langgaard's Symphony No. 14 The Morning (1947-48), we move through the phases of the symphony:

  • Opening fanfare
  • Unobserved Morning Stars
  • Marble church bells
  • The Weary Rise to Life
  • Radio
  • Caruso and Forced Energy
  • "Farmers" rush to the office
  • Sun and beech forest.

The music in Langgaard's Morning is created by musicians from the classical, rhythmic and folk music world, and is based on Langgaard's Symphony No. 14 The Morning.
Bente Bramming talks about the life and longing of Lundbye, who died in an accident at age 29.

The morning ends with coffee and a Langgaard pretzel.
