Silhouette of Cora Nyegaard

Cora Nyegaard (January 12, 1812 – April 28, 1891) was a Danish composer.[1]

According to the Danish Women's Biographical Lexicon, Cora started composing music when she was around ten years old[2] and she was often asked to create melodies for poems sung by close family and friends. Much later in life, she composed dancing music for piano, a Capella music, hymns,[3] and over one hundred songs. In 1845, Cora married a priest and stopped composing music. She instead devoted her life to her duties as a house wife.
