I don't really know enough of Langgaard's music to vote but I really like Sfærernes Musik. Great stuff.
Couldn't resist that little jest, hope I didn't offend much (unlike Rued, I have no problem with Nielsen whatsoever).
Anyway, challenge accepted! I'm excluding the obvious #1, Sfærernes Musik, and the symphonies – believe it or not but I've yet to hear them.

Well
I thought the joke was hilarous.

I was just listening to
The Heaven-Rending tonight and it was absolutely incredible. Good choice here, Jeffrey. 8)

Great choices, Sarge. Hard to believe Langgaard was 16 when he completed his first symphony and, if this weren't astonishing enough, it was premiered by the Berlin Philharmonic. 8)

I'm slowly getting more and more familiar with Langgaard's music that I think I can pick five favorites right now (in no particular order):
Sfærernes MusikSymphony No. 6 "Det Himmelrivende"Symphony No. 2 "Vårbrud"Fra Dybet (From the Deep)Sinfonia interna

Setting of the Psalm?
No, the Requiem prayer:
Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine. Et lux perpetua luceat eis. And a bit of the
Dies irae.
Sarge
Thank you!
My current list:
Symphony No. 6 Det Himmelrivende
Symphony No. 4 Løvfald

I know I liked it, but I don't recall it so well. I need to refresh my memory.
