His early works sit in the intersection between the Danish and French traditions whose inspirations he later synthesized into his own personal style as can be heard in Three Romantic Songs for Chorus composed in 1971.Jørgen Jersild (1913-2004) was a Danish composer and pedagogue. He studied in Paris and at the University of Copenhagen before becoming a teacher at the Royal Danish Academy of Music for over thirty years.
