Composer
John Høybye
| 1939The Danish composer and choral conductor John Høybye is recognised far beyond Scandinavia as a conductor, arranger and composer, especially of choral music. Høybye is represented in the Carus programme with a selection of his works.
As a conductor, he has led numerous international ensembles in masterclasses, at festivals and on concert tours, including the Tritonus Choir, which he founded, the Danish and Hungarian Radio Choirs, the symphony orchestras from Århus, Ålborg and Zealand and the Danish Radio Big Band.
As a composer, he has made a significant contribution to the renewal of Scandinavian choral music, not least by successfully combining the classical choral sound with elements of gospel and jazz music. In 1993, the Danish Choral Society honoured him as ‘Composer of the Year’. Six years later, the Danish Composer's Society honoured him with the annual award.
Jazz elements also characterise the works published by Carus, including This Human Life! for solo voice and mixed choir.
