Erkki-Sven Tüür (born 16 October 1959) is an Estonian composer.
Thoughts from Across the Pond
Today is his birthday, so we’re
Publishing verses for
Who worships Harmonia
In far off Estonia,
And yet is still known over here.

Musicians who think now and then
Of Estonia’s Tüür, (Erkki-Sven),
Will wonder if they
Should pronounce double K,
And those umlauts again and again.
