Knut Nystedt (3 September 1915 – 8 December 2014) was a Norwegian orchestral and choral composer.
Untying Knut’s Knots
With unfailing artistry he showed a remarkable ability to adapt essential new discoveries to his own, highly personal, style, which is rich in colours and, at the same time, delicately nuanced.His musical language showed his understanding of developments in the avant-garde of his time while remaining true to conventions of his forefathers. -- excerpted from knutnystedt.com
When college choirs sing his stuff
His style is challenging enough
That relatives may find it tough,
But not so much to cause a huff.
He showed a perspicacious skill
In sugaring a bitter pill
For folks who found the avant-garde
Was fearsome, muddled and too hard.
