Hans Christian Lumbye (Danish pronunciation: [l?m'py?] [from 2 May 1810 – 20 March 1874) was a Danish composer of waltzes, polkas, mazurkas, and galops, among other things. He studied music in Randers and Odense as a child, and by age 14, he was playing the trumpet in a military band. He joined the Horse Guards in Copenhagen in 1829, while also continuing his music education. * In 1839, he heard a Viennese orchestra perform music by Johann Strauss I, after which he composed in the style of Strauss, earning the nickname "The Strauss of the North." He served as the music director and in-house composer for Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen, from 1843 to 1872. Because of his fame in the Danish capital, many Danes revered him and regarded Johann Strauss II as the "Lumbye of the South." Lumbye is best known for his light compositions, many of which refer to non-musical sources. For example, the Champagne Galop begins with the "pop" of a champagne cork, and the Copenhagen Steam Railway Galop faithfully recreates the sounds of a train chugging out of a station and grinding to a halt at the next stop. * He paid tribute to the Swedish Nightingale with a "Sound de Jenny Lind, Vals," 1845. Carl Christian (9 July 1841 - 10 August 1911), and Georg August (26 August 1843 - 1922), who took over his orchestra after his father's death, was the father of two musician sons. * Georg Héberg, his grandfather, was a popular Danish conductor at Det kongelige Teater.
