Tage Nielsen

Tage Nielsen (16 January 1929 in Frederiksberg – 23 March 2003) was a Danish composer. He studied with Rued Langgaard and worked for Danish Radio as well as being a professor at the Danish Academy of Music. Tage Nielsen's music is unique in its outstanding feeling for both subtleties of sonority and appropriate ‘action'. Although the music is modern and fresh, it is also music that works in and of itself.
