This must be my clue to de-lurk......
The "Danish Music Information Centre" can be found at http://www.mic.dk
The publisher Wilhelm Hansen is the obvious place to look for material. They
have a web site (mostly in Danish, though):http://www.ewh.dk or
http://www.wilhelm-hansen.dk/index.asp
Alternatively, try Engstrøm & Sødring (same problem with language):
http://www.steeplechase.dk/esmusic/
An easily accessible site (nicely done in English) is the record company
Danacord: http://www.danacord.dk There is a list of Danish composers (and
CDs stocked), and some sound samples.
The Royal Danish library: http://www.kb.dk/ Not very music-oriented,
though.
I'm also curious to know what college has this requirement. Perhaps they
specify a "Danish song" in the sense of a relatively simple, well-known song
just to assess the basic singing capabilities of the student (as opposed to,
say, a technically demanding aria).
Feel free to e-mail me privatey.
Best regards
