English - Dansk Erling D. Bjerno (b. 1929)
Erling D. Bjerno is partly autodidact, and as a composer he debuted in 1961 with his Symphony Nr. 1. When the cabaret theatre Svalegangen opened in Aarhus in 1963 he was the local composer and pianist for one season. This opened Bjerno's eyes for musical drama, and since then he has composed a lot of music for different theatres and written dramatic church music for various ensembles, choirs, soloists and actors. Erling D. Bjerno is a qualified organist, and between 1967 and 1996 he worked at Ansgar Church in Aalborg. At the same he worked as a teacher at the Academy of Music of North Jutland. Bjerno is very engaged in the tension between lyrics and music, and his oeuvre clearly reflects his predilection for vocal music. In addition to choral works, chamber music and music for educational, theatre, radio and television purposes he has also written symphonies, operas, oratorios, masses and cantatas.

Erling D. Bjerno (f. 1929)
Erling D. Bjerno er delvis autodidakt og debuterede som komponist i 1961 med sin 1. symfoni. Da kabaretteatret Svalegangen åbnede i Århus i 1963, var han teatrets komponist og pianist i en sæson. Dette åbnede Bjernos øjne for det musikdramatiske, og han har siden hen komponeret en del for diverse teatre samt skrevet dramatisk kirkemusik for varierende instrumentbesætning, kor, solister og skuespillere. Erling D. Bjerno er uddannet organist og var i årene 1967-96 ansat ved Ansgar Kirke i Aalborg. I samme periode var han ansat som lærer ved Nordjysk
Musikkonservatorium. Spændingsforholdet mellem tekst og musik optager Bjerno meget, og hans forkærlighed for vokalmusikken fremgår klart af hans værkliste. Foruden undervisningsmusik, kammermusik, korværker og teater-, radio- og TV-musik har han skrevet symfonier, operaer, oratorier, messer og kantater.
