English - Dansk Nicolai Worsaae Rasmussen (b. 1980) studied composition at the Royal Danish Academy of music in 2002-2007, subsequently taking his diploma, and is now finalizing his studies professor with Bent Sørensen, Hans Abrahamsen and Hans Peter Stubbe-Teglbjærg as his teachers. His musical background is in classical music, not least in the classical choral tradition with which he grew up as a member of the Copenhagen Boys' Choir. Some of his works therefore have a natural focus on the voice, such as "Quaint" (2006), "Image obscure" (2004) and the string quartet "Brillance" (2006). Nicolai Worsaae has been played at several festivals of contemporary music in Stockholm, Helsinki, Oslo, Reykjavik and Halifax. Most recently his music has shifted away from the Nordic lyrical tone towards a more challenging and energetic idiom, as in the ensemble piece "Fastbreaks" (2007), which the Swedish ensemble Curious Chamber Players commissioned for their Nordic tour.
Dansk
Nicolai Worsaae Rasmussen (f. 1980) har studeret komposition på Det Kongelige Danske Musikkonservatorium fra 2002-2007 med efterfølgende diplomeksamen og studerer nu komposition i solistklassen hos Bent Sørensen, Hans Abrahamsen og Hans Peter Stubbe-Teglbjærg. Den musikalske baggrund er den klassiske musik og ikke mindst den klassiske kortradition, som han voksede op med i Københavns drengekor. En del af hans værker har derfor af naturlig grund fokus på stemmen, såsom i værket "Quaint" (2006), "Image obscure" (2004) og i strygekvartetten "Brillance" (2006). Nicolai Worsaae er blevet spillet ved flere festivaler for ny musik både i Stockholm, Helsinki, Oslo, Reykjavik og Halifax . På det seneste har hans musik taget en drejning væk fra den nordiske lyriske tone mod et mere udfordrende og energisk udtryk, så som i ensemblestykket "Fastbreaks" (2007) som det svenske ensemble Curious Chamber Players bestilte til deres nordiske turné.
