New organ player aboard

[mirjam]

Hi everybody! I am a dutch girl living in Denmark, and I am reeeaaally looking forward to starting my church music study at the conservatory in Copenhagen in August! In my sparetime I lead a childrens choir. My question to Frederik: what do you usually do at days, where there just is no inspiration for composing? (or don't you know that problem?? 'Cause I do... hope you have some suggestions.)

And my other big question is: why on earth does Danish Radio hardly ever broadcast any decent organ music??? Is it because they are culture barbarians?

Hi mirjam and welcome to MIMF.dk! Hope to see around here a lot

Well, those are two big questions....

the first: what do I do when there is no inspiration, and have I ever experienced that?...
- ooooh, I sure have. Well, there's not much to do other than the age old advices; "hit your head in to a wall", "weep", "get drunk"...I've tried them all, strangely they tend not to work...ahem...

You just have to face that some days are like that. I have no advice, sorry, but hopefully I can be a small consolidation that you are not alone.

the second: Are the Danish Radio cultural barbarians?....
- When it comes to organ music the answer is.... on second thought, I don't think I wish to answer that particular question....
