Hi all,

Sorry for responding a bit late, but I've only now got the time to try to
catch up with my waiting VOCALIST-DIGEST mails.
I fully agree with those that said that if you want to sing Danish, Carl
Nielsen a good place to start. Wonderful songs.
And yes, the language is .... how shall I put it.... interesting. I would
like to help with pronounciation, but it's not easy in e-mail :-)
To get a sample of how the language sounds, you could try visiting the
Danish Broadcasting Company (Danmarks Radio) homepage www.dr.dk - some, but
not all of the pages are available in English. You can find audio files with
programs (look for little red speaker icons).
If you get lost: try this one as example:
http://www.dr.dk/p1/knyt/musik.htm. This is a listing of several "serious"
talk programs about music and the corresponding sound files. Not much
singing in them, though.

Translations from Danish and other text stuff I can answer if you e-mail me
personally.

All the best,
Karin Mandix (kmx-at-mandix.dk)
