Per Nørgård (b. 1932) — Mig hjertelig nu længes (Herzlich tut mich verlangen), op. 12, no. 3 (1955) for organ

Danish composer Per Nørgård (b. 1932) was born in Gentofte and studied with Vagn Holmboe at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen and with Nadia Boulanger in Paris. Widely considered one of the most important Scandinavian composers of his generation, he has written music in many genres, including six operas, two ballets, eight symphonies, other orchestral works/concerti, choral and vocal music, and a large catalog chamber music, including 10 string quartets. Since the late 1950s, many of Nørgård’s works feature his “infinity series” (Uendelighedsrækken), a personal method that generates endless self-similar pitch patterns via projection which has been likened to a musical equivalent of fractal geometry.
