Cheerful Style:
The Carl Nielsen Festival, occurring in Copenhagen the last week in August, features symphonies, and other works, of this noted Danish composer, whose straightforward, cheerful style, devoid of musical tricks, has won steadily increasing acclaim in the musical world.
The Viking Festival, at Frederikssund, offers historical plays, performed by local players, and has been a huge success. It takes place in mid-June.Trinity Church in Boston, begun in 1872 and finished in 1877, shows the perfection of Richardson's individual style. This style evolved from his study of the Romanesque churches of southern France. The church is cruciform in plan, but the distance from apse Wall to facade is only a little in excess of the distance between the two walls of the transepts. A departure from the Gothic revival style popular after the Civil War, this highly personal Romanesque style of Richardson's had a powerful effect upon subsequent designs.
The Dolar, calling itself Cafeteria Estilo Americana, is a cheerful Americanesque quick-lunch place in the flatiron building at the junction of Calle de Alcala and Gran Via.
