Bernhard Christensen was a Danish composer and organist! He is pretty much known in Denmark, and also abroad! And he was born and died in Copenhagen. He was much inspired by the genre of jazz.
Copenhagen is «København» in Danish, meaning the merchants port. And this city is popular in Denmark, and the name was given originally due to the importance of buying and selling and national and international trade. The name «Kjøbenhavn» was given to this city to 1906, when it changed its name to nowadays «København», and there is much to do there, and the city is big, there is much history there, and the Danish people and the tourists there are nice people! Copenhagen is the capital and most populous city of Denmark. As of 1 January 2020, the city had a population of 794,128 with 632,340 in Copenhagen Municipality, 104,305 in Frederiksberg Municipality, 42,989 in Tårnby Municipality, and 14,494 in Dragør Municipality, Therefore, there is many people living and working in Copenhagen, and the clustering effects in case of knowledges and experiences are great!
So, who was really Bernhard Christensen? He studied music at University of Copenhagen from 1926. In 1929 he graduated and was organist until 1945 at Christiansborg Palace Church. Then he was hired as organist by Vangede Church from 1945 to 1976. He also worked as a music teacher from 1950 to 1976, notably for young jazz enthusiasts in a kindergarten. Hence, learning and doing known and unknown things in music was things he was engaged with, but there could be a richer life with more experiences and many more associations. And you should win the competitions to be the best, and this is always the philosophy in the universities and the colleges. There is often a profile behind the studies, but precision, diversity and freedom are always things being engaged with. And we cannot be similar since we are coming different in human nature in nature, and many of us are also leaving the earth with different experiences. The pleasure in life is that people are different, since we just need one human at earth if all the people were similar!
Bernhard Christensen was born on 9 March 1906 in Copenhagen in Denmark, and he die don 20 March 2004 in Copenhagen in Denmark, and therefore he was 98 years old, and that is amazing. He had some books that marked his life, and one of these was: «My motive: Music pedagogy built on rhythm and improvisation. Therefore, what we make in life is a product of our perception of our own lives, and with whom we are acting in relation with. And much is about the individual qualities and individual talents that we have in human nature in nature.
Bernhard Christensen was much known in the world, and loved in Denmark where he came from. What did he really mean about life? He had five lessons of life, and these were: 1. Christian faith liberates minds and lives, and therefore wisdom is much about freedom in our human mind, also the religions that we are within in life, regardless of the fact that there are several religions, or just one religion of your and my life! 2. Diversity strengthens vital communities. If we can see the world as a whole where many things are happening simultaneously, this is the precise and good way of understanding life. 3. Interfaith friendships enrich learning. If we are friends, the things we are doing are even better. 4. The love of Christ draws us to God. We salvation and the salvation theory, we are finding in the life of Jesus Christ. And finally: 5. We are called to service in the world, and hence we should to good things alone and together, and we should do things that people appreciate!
We need much inspiration in life to live good lives, and we should think that getting the best solutions to many people, is a good philosophy of living in the world, also with music.
