Part I of The Hope, composed in 2001 in memory of the battle of Copenhagen, is now on YouTube:
I’ve made a slideshow-video using different pictures of the battle of Copenhagen.
Performed by the Royal Danish Navy Band (Søværnets Tamburkorps), conducted by Ib Myrner, and myself (organ).
The whole piece can also be downloaded for free (MP3 and Lossless).

Danse Macabre (Dance of Death)
With Halloween drawing closer, it’s the season for dark, ghostly music and scary images so here’s an excerpt of ‘Cortège & Danse Macabre” (Procession and Dance of Death) from the symphonic suite ‘Cantabile’ – now on YouTube. As performed by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Thomas Dausgaard, at the premiere performance in 2009.

More dark classical music
Toccata for organ – free improvisation
Here is an excerpt from “Crossing Borders” from the album Like a Flame. It is a free improvisation in the shape of a “Toccata” played on the pipe organ in Jørlunde church:
Polyphony – Classical and progressive rock music crossover
Some years ago I composed “Polyphony”. It’s hard to classify, but could probably be called a fusion of contemporary classical music and progressive (or prog) rock…
Towards Truth Video (Organ Music)
A video with a (large) excerpt of “Towards Truth” from the organ improvisation album “Like a Flame”
Like a Flame is now available worldwide
My new album “Like a Flame” can now be ordered from all over the world! I’m maintaining a list of online stores that carries the album on this page.
New album release on November 21st
My next album “Like a Flame” will finally be released in ten days – on November 21st – by the Swedish record company Proprius Music! It’s a double album with 23 of my own works performed on the pipe organ in Jørlunde church.
In the week following November 21st, where I’m holding a “CD release concert” in Jørlunde church at 16:00 (4 pm), it will be available in most of Scandinavia, with the rest of the world following soon after. But I will post the specific release dates for each country/region as soon as I know myself.
