Gunnar Berg (1909–1989), Pastourelle

Gunnar Berg was one of the first Danish twelve-tone composers. From 1950 he consistently wrote atonal music, full of explosive energy, rhythmically complex and extremely colorful in detail. He was born in Switzerland (St. Gallen) on January 11, 1909 and grew up in Switzerland and Denmark.

In Paris in 1948 he became part of the international modernist movement in post-war Europe. Here Berg had inspiring encounters with key figures such as Olivier Messiaen, John Cage, Pierre Boulez and Karlheinz Stockhausen.
