Donald Macleod ends the series with an exploration of Langgaard's last decade. Langgard had finally landed a job as a cathedral organist, but in the small city of Ribe, far from his native Copenhagen. After 25 years of ridicule and rejection he seems to have wondered what was the point of being a composer at all, and wrote some of the strangest music of his life. With contributions from Tage Nielsen , who as a young man in Ribe became friends with Langgaard, and from Langgaard's biographer Bendt Viinholt Nielsen.
