Fashioners of faith: The Danish hymn-writers Kingo, Brorson, Grundtvig and Ingemann
(Bog, Indbundet, Dansk)
Beskrivelse
Danish hymn-writing is something quite special. It is a strong, living tradition that Danes make use of in life’s moments of joy and sorrow. Community singing is a feature of both secular and religious life in Denmark, and it is perfectly normal to begin a meeting by singing a well-loved hymn, even if one is not a religious person. Expressions and images from hymns are also part of the everyday language – ‘Sorrow and joy hand in hand go together’, for example, is a much-used expression that derives from a hymn by Kingo.
The prime aim of this anthology has been to make a representative selection of four fashioners of Danish faith. Although Danes are familiar with many of their hymns, the unabbreviated versions of many of them may come as a surprise, as may the wide range of what they actually wrote. The English translations will grant non-Danish speakers around the world access to a vital aspect of the Danish religious and cultural heritage – and maybe even encourage them to take a peek at the originals as well.
