Hymns and Hymnwriters of Denmark

"Hymns and Hymnwriters of Denmark" by J. C. Aaberg is a journey through the songbook of a nation, revealing the stories behind Denmark's most cherished hymns and the people who wrote them. This book explores how the Protestant Reformation sparked a musical revolution, and how figures like Thomas Kingo and N.F.S. Grundtvig shaped Danish culture through their powerful verses. It sets out to introduce these moving spiritual songs and their creators to a wider, English-speaking audience, after a time when they were hidden, highlighting the link between the hymnwriters' lives, their faith, and the impact their words had on their congregations.
