Sange ved Havet, Op. 54 is a song cycle composed by Danish composer Peter Erasmus Lange-Müller. The cycle was composed in 1901 and premiered the same year in Copenhagen. The cycle consists of six songs, each with its own unique character and mood. The first song, "Havet synger," is a lively and energetic piece that captures the sound and movement of the sea. The second song, "Solskin og Skygge," is a more introspective piece that explores the contrast between light and shadow. The third song, "Ved Havet," is a melancholic piece that reflects on the transience of life. The fourth song, "Søvnen," is a dreamy and ethereal piece that captures the feeling of drifting off to sleep. The fifth song, "Vuggesang," is a gentle lullaby that evokes the peacefulness of the sea. The final song, "Havet er så stort og vidt," is a triumphant and celebratory piece that celebrates the vastness and power of the sea. Throughout the cycle, Lange-Müller's use of melody, harmony, and rhythm creates a vivid and evocative musical landscape that captures the beauty and power of the sea. The cycle is a testament to Lange-Müller's skill as a composer and his ability to capture the essence of the natural world in his music.
