Der er et yndigt Land by Carl Nielsen — Lyrics
Der er et yndigt Land,
det staar med brede Bøge,
nær salten Østerstrand;
det bugter sig i Bakke,
Dal, det hedder gamle Danmark,
og det er Frejas Sal.
Der sad i fordums Tid
de harniskklædte Kæmper,
udhvilede fra Strid;

About Der er et yndigt Land
Carl Nielsen's patriotic anthem Der er et yndigt Land, set here for SATB choir, is a setting of a poem by Adam Oehlenschläger. The text celebrates the beauty and history of Denmark, invoking images of its landscape, from the Baltic coast to its rolling hills and dales. It recalls the valiant warriors who once defended its shores, finding rest in its soil, and praises the enduring loveliness of the land, inhabited by its people. The Danish lyrics speak of 'lovely Denmark' and 'Freya's Hall', painting a vivid picture of national pride and natural splendor.
