There used to be, maybe still is, a pub in Helsinki (N end of Kallio) called Roskapankki (Helsinginkatu). Literally Rubbish-Bank. Loads of vomit on the pavement outside. I wonder if this piece is related?

Jakob Fabricius

Jakob Fabricius by Hansen & Weller.jpg

Fabricius, Jakob (Christian)

(b Århus, 3 Sept 1840; d Copenhagen, 8 June 1919). Danish administrator, music critic and composer. A banker by profession, Fabricius remains best known for his many practical initiatives in Danish musical life. In 1871 he founded the Samfund til Udgivelse af Dansk Musik (Society for the Publication of Danish Music), whose president he was from 1887 until his death. This society is today the principal organization for the publication of contemporary Danish music. He was the founder of the choral society Vega (1872) and a founder-member of the Copenhagen Concert Society (Koncertforening; 1874), a progressive musical society which existed until 1893. It was chiefly due to him that the first regular concert hall, the Koncertpalae, was built in Copenhagen during 1884–8. As a music critic his writings stand out from the generally poor music criticism of his time.

As a composer, Fabricius has never been highly rated in Denmark, perhaps chiefly because his practical enterprise overshadowed his musical activities. His early En vaarnat (‘A Summer Night’) for choir and orchestra, and a symphony (1880) were performed in Copenhagen; but the major part of his works were for many years far better known abroad, as a result of successful performances in Berlin and Paris of his vocal compositions, especially three-part madrigals, a cappella madrigals and other choral works (Berlin), and solo songs, accompanied by piano and cellos, which were composed for concerts in Paris and published there.
