==Music== Jeppesen's early efforts at composition were poorly received and he turned away from composition in 1919, only to resume after a fifteen-year hiatus. He is known for well-crafted songs set to Danish texts, church music, and motets. He also wrote cantatas, organ music, and an opera, ''Rosaura,'' which was performed by the [[Royal Danish Theatre]] on September 20, 1950. He also made many contributions to Danish hymnology, and his ''Bygen flygter, Forunderligt så sødt et smil'' is a classic with Danish church choirs. His style incorporates his knowledge of early counterpoint but also the style of late Viennese romantics including [[Gustav Mahler]], to whom he was introduced by Guido Adler. From 1916 to 1931, Jeppesen was Nielsen's closest associate, and Jeppesen wrote several important articles about that composer. ===Compositions=== * 1906 "Nordisk Festmarche" for 3 violins, cello, harmonium or piano * 1911 ''Staka'', Symphonic poem (tenor and piano) * 1912 "Foraar" for soloists and orchestra (text: Johannes Jørgensen) * 1915 String quartet in F (student composition) * 1919 Violin sonata * 1925 Kantate for Rungsted Kostskoles Samfund * 1930 Sonatine in C major (piano) * 1934 Gud, vend Øren til min Bøn (Motet 4-part mixed choir) * 1935 Hvad er et Menneske?
