The Composer Frederik Magle

Welcome to the official website of the contemporary composer, concert organist and pianist Frederik Magle.


A message from Frederik Magle:

»There is sometimes a peculiar duality to the work of a composer. During the compositional process I work with structures of very high complexity, yet on the surface the music may seem straightforward, or even simple at times, as I want it to.

This may provide a small "clue" to my work, which you can investigate further here on this site.

I hope you will enjoy your visit to my musical world.«

Kind regards,
