The ideas behind the music
|

Rued Langgaard's special relationship to the light of the sun as a symbol of that divine light from which he drew his inspiration can be seen from a cartoon which he cut out of a newspaper, and on which he wrote his personal comments. The creative process (pictures 1-3) takes place in "the light of the sun", but in the end the composer has his music returned to him - in this case from the State Broadcasting Company (Danmarks Radio).
"Solrædsel" (Sun Nightmare)
(picture 4), is one of the titles of Symphony No. 11. |
