The Danish writer and poet Hans Christian Andersen travelled to Spain in 1862. Shortly after returning, he published a spirited travel book, In Spain, which also includes a number of quasi-sensual poems.

'The Lotus Flower' [Lotusblomsten] is one of these poems that show a lesser known side of the poet.

The video includes subtitles in Danish, English and Spanish.

'The Tale of the Cuban Cigar'
by Danish poet Hans Christian Andersen.

"Angel of Light" is a hymn from the Romantic era, composed by C.E.F. Weyse in 1837, and familiar to any Dane of almost any age.
Nevertheless, in this modern setting by contemporary composer Poul Udbye Pock-Steen the original light-spirited melody is led on a musical excursion towards the darker hidden sides of the mind ..... :)

In 1862, during a visit to Tangier, Hans Christian Andersen found himself enjoying a warm autumn evening on a terrace, savoring a fine #Cuban cigar.
As the grey-blue smoke curled into the gentle night air, a miniature fairy tale revealed itself—one that, when seen through the right lens, also reads as a quiet political statement against slavery.

Andersen would certainly have been fascinated by the possibilities of #AI and #art

The other day Facebook tagged a poem by Danish poet Hans Christian Andersen as 'inappropriate' and removed an article about it from a Facebook group.
Danish bourgeoisie society also judged the poem as inappropriate in 1863 ... :)

In the Funen countryside in Denmark, you may encounter the most adventurous creatures!
Many months of intense work were showcased yesterday to a fairly large crowd of alert and focused children when Ballhaus' and Via Artis Konsort's outdoor opera for children 'Nature Opera' had its premiere.

NATURE OPERA
In Ballhaus' opera for children and their families, several animals make an appearance, all helping to keep nature's cycle going.
Here, the Lark has been spotted during a rehearsal :)

Rehearsing for Nature Opera, an outdoor opera for children and their families.
The photographs still capture a sense of ease and relaxation :) This laid-back atmosphere won’t last much longer, though, as the Nature Opera premiere on May 9th is fast approaching.
However, the music and libretto are all set.
For those who are curious about the composition of the music, more insights can be found in an article on Ballhaus' website: https://ballhaus.dk/en/post/music-from-a-child-perspective

A Multicultural Song
'Soledad Nórdica' is a classical art song inspired by popular Spanish dances and records of both early flamenco music and Danish folk music. Spanish and Danish cultures are intertwined in a song that is neither exclusively Spanish nor Danish, but rather a fusion of both.

Christmas in Mexican style! 🙂
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZParkjE-KMw

It's been 10 years since Via Artis recorded the #Mexican Christmas song 'Convidando está la noche' in San Esteban de La Sierra, Spain.
The title translates to something like "The Night Invites", referring to #Christmas night.
The song itself is almost 400 years old, so a decade more or less doesn't really matter in this context 🙂

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Should you use a 19th century guitar for renaissance music?
(Not to mention the marimba :-))

Right now, I'm on a beautiful worktrip with @viaartis Via Artis Konsort in Spain, and during this trip the ensemble has put out an interesting recording. The recording has tones from the north (Denmark) as well as some southern spirit (Spain). Personally, my favourite is the wonderfull, deep mezzo in the middle of the video 😍

Check it out:

Is it ok to take a popular #hymn and #paraphrase it beyond recognition?
Well, #composers have done it over the centuries.
