Program Notes
Queen Margrethe II of Denmark assumed her reign in 1972, becoming the first female Danish monarch since the fifteenth century. At Margrethe’s birth in 1940, one week after the Nazi invasion of Denmark, Danish law allowed only males to ascend the throne; only during Margrethe’s lifetime was the constitution amended to allow a female heir. As a constitutional monarch, Queen Margrethe does not express political opinions but presides over ceremonial functions while serving as the supreme authority of the Church of Denmark and the Commander-in-Chief of Danish Defense Forces.
Dronning Margrethe Den II’s Parademarch is Arne Ole Stein’s best known work.
