Danish composer Per Nørgård (born 1932) had a big impact on music in Denmark as he continued to pursue the study of music. His use of the metamorphosis and infinity methods were often unpopular when first presented to the public but later became classics in the history of Danish music.
Per Nørgård was born in Gentofte, Denmark, on July 13, 1932. His parents, Erhardt and Emmely, owned a wedding dress specialty shop called Eva. They lived near the shop. His aunt and grandmother lived around the corner, and he spent a lot of time with them. He also spent time with his brother, Bent, who was five years older than he was, but otherwise he did not have much contact with other children.
