Nielsen´s Rhapsodic Overture (1927) represents the romantic musical element in orchestral composition. The sub-title ‘A fantasy journey to Faroër’ belies the imaginative character of the piece, which is rooted in the tradition of the symphonic overture.It includes a folksong from the Faroër: Paaskeklokken kimed mildt (Easter bells ringing gently).
