		Gade's orchestral music includes eight symphonies, a Violin Concerto and several concert overtures, with an evocative "A Summer's Day in the Country", five pieces for orchestra.
		The cantatas Zion and Psyche were written for the Birmingham Festival, testimony to the international reputation of Gade, whereas the earlier Comala reflects his interest in Ossian and Elverskud (Elf-King's Daughter) is Scandinavian in choice of subject and treatment.

		Niels Wilhelm Gade (1817–90) was the most prominent and influential figure in nineteenth-century Danish music.
		Niels showed musical talent from an early age but his family could not afford to provide a formal musical education until he was 15, when he began to study the violin, music theory and composition.
		Later that year, Gade travelled to Leipzig where he met Mendelssohn and Schumann, and was engaged as a teacher at the Academy of Music and as assistant conductor to Mendelssohn at the Gewandhaus orchestra.

		Niels Gade (1817-1890) was a leader of the Danish Romantic school and a vital influence upon the great Norwegian lyric composer, Edvard Grieg.
		Gade was a teacher at the Conservatorium at Leipzig and Mendelssohn's vice-conductor at the Gewandhaus (one of the greatest concert halls in Germany, with an outstanding symphony orchestra, of which Mendelssohn was musical director).
		Niels Viggo Bentzon, born in 1919, is a great-grandson of J. Hartmann and is one of the youngest composers whose music appears in the Samfundet series.

		Hogwood responds well to the piece, but Gade's years in the wilderness mean that there is probably no conductor today who, as a result of having lived with this music and loved it all his life, could conduct it as, say, Kubelik conducted Dvorak.
		Symphony shows that Gade was not without self-criticism, for the value of the work would have been seriously impaired had this static, repetitive movement remained in place.
		Gade's work was written in a period of symphonic hiatus when the masters, Mendelssohn and Schumann, who had attempted, and not quite managed, to inherit Beethoven's mantle were dead, Brahms was still waiting to write his first symphony and Bruckner was as yet unrecognised.

	Niels W. Gade and Peter A. Heise
		What takes over is the unconscious, or better, the unknown, which we too often try to avoid by keeping a sound or a phrase within the limits of the known, of the familiar.
		But it is thus that Gade resembles Schumann, and Schumann runs the risk of resembling only himself, without encompassing anything beyond what we already know about him.
		Gade continued his training in Germany, proving himself as Mendelssohn's understudy as the conductor at the Gewandhaus, and was later to return to his country and consolidate a definitively national style, also initiating non-Danish composers into a Scandinavian idiom.

		Of the two, it was Gade who was to have the most enduring importance for posterity, and Gade, more down-to-earth than the haut-bourgeois Hartmann, who had the best grasp of the living musical milieu.
		Gade became a pupil of Berggreen at a time when his teacher was determined to give folk melodies an influence on art music.
		Mendelssohn convinced Gade of the limitations of National Romanticism, and on his return to Denmark Gade introduced Mendelssohn's elegant, classicizing Romanticism, and remained himself with the style for the rest of his life.

		A gentle composer at heart, even when Gade says "con fuoco", as in the first movement of the Eighth Symphony, this isn't Tchaikovsky or even Schumann we're talking about here.
		Also, you always can count on Gade to score transparently, and one of the best things about Christopher Hogwood's performances is the way in which he consistently allows the winds to penetrate the textures in the scherzos and slow movements.
		More to the point, they demonstrate the positive direction in which Hogwood's career as a conductor of "normal" music seems to be evolving.

		However, Gade knew several of Andersen’s works before this time, in particular his dramatic poem Agnete and the Merman.
		A few years later, in February 1846, Andersen visited Leipzig, where Gade was active in 1843–48 as a composer and conductor of the distinguished Gewandhausorchester.
		Andersen had brought his libretto Nøkken (The Water Spirit) along with him and tried to persuade Gade to write the music for this work, but although it met with Gade’s approval, the opera was never set to music by this composer.

		The Danish composer's own Octet and Sextet are so similar in structure and sonority to the more famous work that you would swear they were written by Mendelssohn himself.
		Of course, Gade and Mendelssohn were reasonably close, as Gade was assistant conductor of the Gewandhaus Orchestra in Leipzig before taking over the directorship after Mendelssohn's death in 1847.
		Composed in 1848, the Octet (not surprisingly) was inspired by Mendelssohn's, with closely matched tempo markings across its four movements (including the same "con fuoco" direction in the first movement).

		Junto a Hartmann, Gade fue el eje de la música danesa durante más de medio siglo en pleno romanticismo.
		Mendelssohn convenció a Gade de las “limitaciones” del romanticismo nacionalista y, tras su retorno a Dinamarca, Gade adoptó el estilo romántico-clásico y elegante de Mendelssohn, permaneciendo con este lenguaje por el resto de su vida.
		Gade compuso ocho sinfonías, varias obras corales con orquesta, mucha música de cámara, canciones y piezas para piano.
