English - Dansk Axel Borup-Jørgensen (b. 1924)
Axel Borup-Jørgensen was born in Denmark but grew up in Sweden. He was admitted to the Royal Academy of Music in Copenhagen with piano as his main subject and with studies in scoring with Poul Schierbeck and Jørgen Jersild. He is an authrorized music teacher, and as a composer he is mainly autodidact. Even though he was one of the first Danish composers to join the Darmstadt School he has never written serial music. The music of Axel Borup-Jørgensen shows traces of his Swedish adolescence, and his music often comprises Swedish poetry and landscapes. His oeuvre is extensive, including music for orchestra, chamber music, songs with piano accompaniment and other instruments, but especially outstanding are his works for percussion and guitar. Axel Borup-Jørgensen was a member of the board of Det Unge Tonekunstnerselskab (the Young Composers? Society), Edition SAMFUNDET as well as the council of the Danish Arts Foundation. He has received several grants and prizes; in 1965 he received the contribution for life of the Danish Arts Foundation.
