The Danish composer Ib Nørholm is also an organist. His early compositions follow the Danish lyrical tradition. After around 1959 he started composing serial works. From the mid-1960s he became an important participant of “the new simplicity” movement in Denmark, which was a reaction on the increasing complexity of modern composing techniques.
