Bent Sørensen (18/07/1958), a Danish composer, born in Borup. He received his musical education by, amongst others, Per Nørgård and Ib Nørholm. Bent Sørensen’s music contains something of the earlier times, still sounding in the present: Church bells, birds, wind-swept church yards, angels. Death. Bent Sørensen’s music is always about something, even though one cannot say exactly what. There are ardent lovers, sad processions on the way to the cemetery, mute women with upturned eyes of female saints, sallow nun’s habits, angel pictures, blurred images, outlines of the richness in detail of a time past, dark mould in the early spring. The aesthetics of decline. Music on the edge of silence.
