For generations, hymns, songs and ballads have been a living unity for most Danes. Without being a literary or musical anthology, the collection contains texts and tunes from all periods and by all important song writers and composers from the Middle Ages to today. Aiming to be practical in its translation, this collection faithfully renders the Danish text while attempting to adapt the translation to the tune. Songs included in this delightful collection are clustered under topics such as: Morning Songs, Songs of Praise, The Christian Faith, Christmas, Easter, Denmark, School and Human Life, Folk Songs, and Ballads.
