This man called his only major composition for organ an attempt to revive polyphonic music, as that was "the only true and vital style for the instrument," and that work built upon his earlier 29 Preludes for organ.

Besides Commotio, one of his works opens with 26 repeated A's, and he included Hindu and Negro dances as well as a depiction of the Marketplace at Isphahan in his Aladdin Suite. He also modeled the movement of the sun in the Helios Overture, and he composed the opera Saul and David in addition to the aforementioned Sinfonia Espansiva. The third movement of another of his works ends with oboe playing solo above the strings and segues into the fourth movement which features a battle between two sets of timpani on opposite sides of the stage. For 10 points, name this Danish composer whose symphonies include The Four Temperaments and The Inextinguishable.
