All of us have angels guiding and accompanying us; popularly they
are known as "guardian angels." Angels, who are present in all
aspects of our everyday life, are beings made of light, expressions
of the divinity which hope to be sheltered in the simplicity and
the purity of the heart, in the arms of the magic child who is
inside you. Each of the angels that appear in these cards
represents a virtue to which you will be able to appeal when you
are in trouble. Jack Lawson shows how to contact and to consult
with the messengers from heaven.
The Danish composer Carl Nielsen (1865-1931), together with Jean
Sibelius from Finland, is a towering figure of twentieth-century
Scandinavian music. Both are masters of the modern symphony, but it
is arguably Nielsen who was the more progressive in style and
technique. In this biography he emerges as an energetic individual,
one who was much more dynamic than is suggested by the popular
image of him as the dreamy country boy who rose from poverty to
become Denmark's most influential composer. He studied as a
violinist at the Royal Danish Conservatory in Copenhagen but
composed from an early age. Even from his earliest compositions
Nielsen was to transcend and challenge the nineteenth-century
Romanticism of Grieg and Gade. He instead admired the Classical
masters and used as his starting-point the basic foundations of
music. His six symphonies were all within a Classical framework,
but their musical content advanced beyond the comprehension of his
contemporaries to express personal and national turmoil, and above
all, the inextinguishable power of music. The biography emphasizes
Nielsen's versatility, from the dramatic heights of his two operas
Saul og David and Maskarade to the poignant simplicity of his
popular songs. Nielsen's revitalization of the Danish folk song,
setting old Nordic texts to music of a Fresh and direct utterance,
was no less of an achievement than his symphonies. The text also
offers a subtle analysis of the composer's complex personality, and
shows that far from being provincial and naive, Nielsen was
well-read, widely travelled and deeply immersed in European
culture. In this, the first biography on Nielsen to be published in
English, the author reveals much that is new and unpublished about
Nielsen's life and times.
