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.

Composer
Ludwig van Beethoven
| 1770-1827Ludwig van Beethoven was without doubt one of the most influential composers in the history of music. His works formed the culmination of many genres – particularly instrumental – of Viennese classicism, and laid the foundation for the following decades. But Beethoven’s vocal works set standards too: the late Missa Solemnis is one of the most impressive choral works of its time; but his earlier Mass in C also opens up new worlds of expression for the liturgical text, and set the benchmark for the further development in the composition of the mass. And with the final chorus of the Ninth Symphony, the setting of Schiller’s Ode to Joy, Beethoven created one of the most frequently-performed and best known choral pieces of all, writing a timeless musical memorial to himself.
