Sky, earth and water are basic elements that can be heard in most of Vagn Holmboe's works. He was a decided nature-lover who lived in the contryside from 1939 until his death in 1996, and over the years personally planted 3000 trees on his land by the lake Arresø in northern Zealand. Alongside his feeling for nature he had a highly intellectual side, and this gives his music a characteristic duality. Holmboe's music is concentrated and logical, but at the same time breathes naturally. His works bud, grow, flower and contract, developing as metamorphorses with the cycle of the sun.
