The opening of Denmark´s first national park in August 2008
provided a fitting venue for a new composition as a tribute to
Thy, Denmark´s natural beauty. Knud Sørensen furnished a
text which fused with Craig Goodman´s music to give life to a
musical poem; quiet, yet intense in its deeply felt love for this land and
the life it nurtures.
There were many people from all walks of life at the ceremony;
Denmarks prime minister, the minister of environment, nature
lovers, sports enthusiasts, children and ballons, homing
pigeons and many of us from the festival. The weather was
bright and sunny that day, a welcome change especially after so much
foreboding wind and rain just before
There was much appreciative applause for the music and the speeches,
and lots of smiles. But the truly memorable part of this event
which was the result of so many peoples´noble efforts, was
that here we were so many, at peace, happy to be alive in this spot of
exquisite natural beauty in Thy, Denmark, formally recognized now for
what we have always known it to be.
