Ib Nørholm

Ib Nørholm ( born January 24, 1931 in Søborg ) is a Danish composer.

Life

Nørholm played at the age of nine years of piano at the age of fifteen, organ and debuted the age of eighteen as a composer with a chamber opera based on Hans Christian Andersen. He then studied until 1956 at the Royal Danish Music Conservatory in Copenhagen in Vagn Holmboe, Finn Høffding, Niels Viggo Bentzon and Bjørn Hjelmborg.

From 1965 he taught at the Funen Academy of Music in Odense, from 1973 as a lecturer and from 1981 until his retirement in 2000 as professor at the Royal Danish Conservatory of Music. He was from 1973 to 1978 director of the Danish Committee of the International Society for Contemporary Music ( ISCM ) and is a board member of the Danish Composers' Union.

Work

Nørholms works of the 1950s were in the tradition of Carl Nielsen and Vagn Holmboe. After 1960 - together with Per Nørgård, Helmer Nørgaard and Pelle Gudmundsen -Holm Green - had participated in the Cologne Festival of the ISCM, he turned under the influence of Stockhausen, Kagel, Boulez and Ligeti's avant-garde compositions styles such as serialism and the aleatoric, the graphical notation and the use of mechanical music machines to. His Piano Trio opus 22 is considered the first serial composition of a Danish composer.

In his later works Nørholm returned to a more tonal embossed musical language. In addition to ten symphonies he composed instrumental concertos, operas, chamber music and choral works and songs.
