Hans Christian Lumbye

[2] As a child, he studied music in Randers and Odense, and by age 14 he was playing the trumpet in a military band.

[3][4] From 1843 to 1872, he served as the music director and in-house composer for Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen.

[5] Such was his popularity in the Danish capital that many Danes revered him and considered Johann Strauss II as the "Lumbye of the South".

He honored the Swedish Nightingale with a "Souvenir de Jenny Lind, Vals" from 1845.

[6] His grandson Georg Høeberg was an important Danish conductor at Det kongelige Teater.
