Heritage and influence of H.C. Anderson to the world literature


I Danmark er jeg født” - The Unofficial National Anthem


This song is one of the most favourite and beloved hymn that touches the Danes deeply inside - and is known by every Dane - who has sung this song from a very early age - and leant every word and line by heart. The song is written marvellously by famous Danish fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875). Each written word and sentence is a broad compassionate portray of Denmark - plus the Danish kingdom's passing history. The lyrics have a great deep-felt affection on the Danes appreciation and faithfulness for their beautiful country and cultural heritage - and give the majority of Danes "goose pimples" - when sung and performed in good harmony and company with each other.

The text is written by a true master that strikes the entire soul of the Danes native identity - as well as the Danish mentality - mindset and Christian upbringing - which was his legacy - and true area of excellence - and the strong religious nurture his middle name also signifies and manifests.


No one like Hans Christian Andersen can interpret Danish in such an inspiring and picturesque way - which makes his storytelling and song writing so imaginative and outstanding - that leave Danes of all ages with a meaningful understanding of their native tongue. It’s a pity that the words and text is impossible to translate into any other languages - as well as songs from other countries are just as hopeless to translate into Danish - without missing the deeper meaning and spirit of the lyrics. Many Danes have suggested during the past that “I Danmark er jeg født” should be the national anthem.

“I Danmark er jeg født” is written by Hans Christian Andersen in 1850 - as a tribute and honour to his country - where he was born and raised. In some senses - it’s a very patriotic song that praises Denmark in a passionate - poetic and inspiring way - and also describes admiringly how proud he is of his Danish background - and how much he loves Denmark as his homeland. And the Danish language is his mother's soft voice and reminds him of her gentle native Danish tongue that sweetly blessed reaches his heart. “Du danske sprog - du er min moders stemme - så sødt velsignet du mit hjerte når”. Furthermore he writes that God gave the Danes the Danish flag “Dannebrog” - and the best victories. ”hvor Danebrogen vajer - Gud gav os den - Gud giv den bedste sejer”! The majority of Danes just love and admire Hans Christian Andersen’s version of portraying their homeland Denmark - and feel the same way as Hans Christian Andersen - when they sing the devoted lyrics about Denmark - especially about the Danish language - their mother’s gentle native Danish tongue - and God giving the Danish flag and the best victories.[7]


See and enjoy the video with The Danish National Girls’ Choir and its Chief Conductor Phillip Faber performing this special arrangement of “I Danmark er jeg født” in the DR Concert Hall together with an engaging and exited audience. The Girls’ Choir can really express their native Danish mother tongue brilliantly - in a unique vocal style - with delicate and sophisticated harmonies heaping the arrangements full of flavour and texture - while performing this special arrangement of “I Danmark er jeg født”. The Danish National Girls’ Choir was founded in 1938 - and the Girls’ Choir primary objective was to make radio broadcasts for the DR (Danmarks Radio) - The Danish Broadcasting Corporation. The choir’s most important task is still to produce programmes for radio - television - the internet and other occasions. The Danish National Girls’ Choir consists of 52 girls aged 16- 22 years.

Every country is very proud of their National Anthem - and Denmark has nearly three!
Breakthrough and aristocratic society… Hans Christian Andersen created a new style of writing. Especially the stimulating and captivating content in his fairy tale stories broke with the traditional way of writing - which gave him his literary breakthrough and international fame. He mastered the direct interpretation of the spoken language into written words and formed a simple structure of sentences that was light and easy to read and understandable for common people and children. He combined his supreme storytelling with a noble sense of humour and genuine pathos. His sharp sarcastic commentary of the social life was in general based on his cultural background - and his distinct witnessing of people and places was imminently written in his tales.

The Founder of Modern Fairytales... Hans Christian Andersen was soon recognized as a great author and considered as the founder of modern fairytales. He was often invited as a celebrity to the inner- circles of the aristocratic society and was a welcome and usual guest at manor houses and also a regular visitor at the royal residences here and abroad.[8]


"To travel is to live…"


Hans Christian Andersen philosophy and favourite phrase was “To travel is to live” and over the years 1840 – 1858 he became a busy traveller that journeyed all over Europe - meeting fellow writers - celebrities - princes and royalties. He found the experience of travelling so touching that he wrote his first travel journal - and later a number of travel books - which all were published. Many of his journeys were financed by public funds often initiated by the King to ensure his continued travel activities and making it possible to visit foreign destinations like Amsterdam - Austria - Germany - Holland - Italy - Morocco - Norway - Portugal - Spain and Switzerland. When Hans Christian Andersen travelled around in Denmark or abroad



  • he always had a long rope packed with his travel kit that could be used as a fire escape - because he always was scarred of fires braking out during his stay.[10]

During the following years Hans Christian Andersen became a very productive and popular author with a large production of fairy tale collections - travel literature and autobiographies behind him. Since - his entire stream of literary works have been translated into 152 different languages and published all over the world. His biography and memoirs, “The Fairy Tale of My Life” was a bestseller and his famous poem about “The woman with the eggs” leaves the reader with thoughtfulness and an timeless educative side of life that reminds you to - never leave all your eggs in one basket.

All together Hans Christian Andersen wrote 168 fairy tales and some of the best known are literary classics today like "The Tinderbox" - "The Emperor's New Suit" - “Clumsy Hans”- "The Nightingale" - "The Princess and the Pea" - "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" - “The Little Mermaid” - “The Nightingale” - “The Darning Needle” - “The Swineherd” - “The Little Match Girl” - "Little Claus and Big Claus"



  • "The Snow Queen" - and last but not least “The Ugly Duckling”.[10] Literary footprints and unforgettable marks all over the world…

Hans Christian Andersen was a gifted writer that could explain the simple things in life in a very imaginative manner. His marvellous illustrative way of describing how – The old queen who laid a "pea" under twenty goose feather mattresses and on top of these twenty more eider down quilts to ensure that she could find a real princess for the prince. Clumsy Hans that went on a goat to marry the princess and said: “If she takes me - she will take me - and if she doesn't take me - I'll take her - anyway!" The Emperor who was possessed of wearing new clothes and swindlers who pretended to put a new invisible suit on him - until a little child proclaimed “But he hasn't got anything on!” And the old ugly Witch said to the soldier - “if you want lot of gold - you go into the third room and can get as much gold as you like - and can carry in your bag. But the dog that guards the chest with gold had eyes as large as the Round Tower of Copenhagen”. The Ugly Duckling
who went through so much misery - until it one day surprisingly saw it’s own image reflected in the water surface as a “beautiful white swan”.

These extracts and others have been and will be interpreted by generations - and his visionary metaphorical authorship will continue to be studied in many centuries to come - as well as his literary footprints that have set unforgettable marks all over the world.[8]
