Carl Nielsen: Bohemian - Danish Folk Songs: String Orchestra: Score

Bøhmisk-Dansk Folketone-Bohemian-Danish Folk Songs / Bøhmisk-Dansk Folketone - Paraphrase for String Orchestra by Carl Nielsen (1928).

Carl Nielsen (1865-1931) was a Danish musician often seen as his country’s greatest composer who now occupies a distinguished platform in the national and cultural heritage of his native land. The Carl Nielsen Edition is an independent project which aims to publish all of his finished works in the last version approved by the composer. Each piece has an introduction which tells the story behind the work and its place in his oeuvre and a critical commentary which gives an account of the source material and any editorial changes both given in the same volume as the music. Orchestral Works II contains the second(chronological) half of his non-symphonic orchestral output: Saga Dream; At the Bier of a Young Artist Andante Lamentoso; Nearer My God to Thee; Pan and Syrinx; Rhapsody Overture - An Imaginary Journey to the Faroe Islands; and Bohemian-Danish Folk Songs.
