About Ludvig Irgens-Jensen
Paul Ludvig Irgens-Jensen (April 13, 1894 – April 11, 1969) was a Norwegian twentieth-century composer. Irgens-Jensen studied piano with Nils Larsen while a philology student at the University of Oslo. He began composing in 1920, and the radical nature of his work attracted some interest. Irgens-Jensen's oratorio Heimferd (for solo choir and orchestra) won first prize in a national competition, and is considered a national monument of sorts for Norway. The song Altar is one of his most familiar works.
