 In Denmark some fifteen years earlier than the German movement, a less widely known group also called "The New Simplicity" ("Den Ny Enkelhed") arose, including composers Hans Abrahamsen, Henning Christiansen, and Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen.This was seen as a specifically Danish response to the complexity of music of the Darmstadt School, but differed from the later German group in that these composers sought to "increase" rather than decrease objectivity by using the simplest, impersonal musical material in order to liberate it from the composer’s attitudes and feelings (; ).This term has also been used essentially synonymously with the related but distinct group of composers such as Henryk Gorecki, Arvo Pärt, and John Tavener .
