The Rediscovered Sound

Artistic research (KUV)

Carl Nielsen’s last major work, Commotio, was written for organ. It was completed in the spring of 1931 at the same time as a new ground-breaking organ was inaugurated in Copenhagen: the organ of the Copenhagen Contemporary Art Centre (Nikolaj Kunsthal). A manuscript in the Royal Library links the organ and the work. The project explores the relationship between these, and the implications for the interpretation of Commotio and the understanding of the work in its day and our own.

The artistic research project has resulted in a recording of Carl Nielsen’s organ works and an article for Kunstnerisk Udviklingsvirksomhed. Antologi 2016.

The project is funded through a grant from the Ministry of Culture’s pool for artistic research.
