about

Nowherelands is a song cycle by Peter Danstrup written for the
vocal ensemble GLAS. Inspired by Bjorn Berge's book ‘Nowherelands:
An Atlas of Vanished Countries’, the 12 movements are jazz musician Peter Danstrup’s first a capella work. Stylistically comprehensive
with rich harmonies and challenging rhythms this work perfectly applies to the unique style of GLAS, spiced up with indignation, enthusiasm, sarcasm and empathy.

New, modern vocal music is not an everyday occurrence in Denmark and certainly not this combination of a professional vocal ensemble and contemporary jazz and folk music. One could see the songs as
a natural extension of current world-wide discussions about colonialism and national identity – only without a dogmatic and rigid attitude. The movements refer to historical events all over the world where small states have emerged and disappeared again due to wars, confrontations or disasters, and the songs serve as imaginary anthems and songs of freedom for these countries. Who knows about Labuan, East Rumelia and Van Diemens Land today?

Composer and lyricist Peter Danstrup has been around the Danish music scene since the 1970s as a bass player, educator, headmaster and composer and his curriculum vitae continues to grow in all directions: an all-embracing musicianship, film- and book releases when not displaying his renowned bass playing in and around the artistic forerunners in ILK.
For 20 years the vocal ensemble GLAS has challenged the borders
of ensemble singing, specializing themselves in Bulgarian and Nordic tradition. The 6 professional singers all live in Denmark but has roots in Finland, Faroe Islands, Hungary, Poland – and Denmark.
