about
Niels Finn Høffding (b. Copenhagen, 10 March 1899 - d. Copenhagen, 3 March 1997) was a Danish composer. Høffding studied composition under Knud Jeppesen and Thomas Laub, and then under Joseph Marx in Vienna from 1921-22. His works first became well-known in Denmark in the 1920s, particularly the piece Karlsvognen (chorus and orchestra, 1924). He began to study folk music about 1930, and founded the Copenhagen School of Folk Music in 1931. From 1931 he also taught at the Royal Danish Academy of Music, where he served as director after 1954. In 1956 and 1958 he was awarded the Nielsen Prize. In addition to composing, Høffding also wrote several theoretical treatises. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
