Geirr as First Name

Geirr Nils Tveitt     Geirr Nils Tveitt       Origin/Culture/Country: Norwegian

Geirr Nils Tveitt: was perhaps one of Norway's most prolific composers.A talented pianist, Tveitt won considerable acclaim in continental Europe and elsewhere performing his own compositions. His music draws from many styles and traditions, most notably the barbarism of Stravinsky's early ballets, the unique rhythms and textures of Bartok's music and the floating and mystic moods of Debussy and Ravel's music - always underpinned by idioms derived from Norwegian folk-music. In his musicological writings and reviews, however, Tveitt displayed an almost obsessive preoccupation with distilling and developing "Norwegianness" in music - embracing several controversial theories (including pantheism and anti-semitism) to support his arguments and aesthetic. Tveitt displayed a highly confrontational attitude, which secured him many critics and opponents. His contact with the circle surrounding self-proclaimed heathenist Hans Jacobsen in Oslo in the 1930s, made Tveitt sympathise with some of the philosophies that were coming out of Germany at the time. Even though Tveitt later repudiated any alleged affinities with Hitler's Germany, the musical and intellectual establishments of Norway long remained uneasy to embrace Tveitt
