Asger Hamerik (Hammerich) (April 8, 1843 – July 13, 1923), was a Danish composer of classical music. Born in Frederiksberg (nr. Copenhagen), he studied music with J.P.E. Hartmann and Niels Gade. He wrote his first pieces in his teens, including an unperformed symphony. His family was friends with Hans Christian Andersen, with whom Hamerik would correspond regularly. Later, he left Denmark in 1862 to study music in Germany, with Hans von Bülow, and France where he was a protégé of Hector Berlio
