Ludvig Norman (28 August 1831 – 28 March 1885) was a Swedish composer, conductor, pianist, and music teacher.
Norman Conquest?
… he ranks among the most important Swedish symphonists of the 19th century. – Wikipedia
Of Ludvig Norman we are told
That in the grand symphonic mold
He ranks among the very best
With which the Swedish land is blest.
Is it unfair that works like these
And other Swedish symphonies,
Of which the Swedes are justly fond,
Have never found a niche beyond
The diligent artistic hands
Employed by loyal Swedish bands?

Missionary Zeal
Of the baritone Ira B. Sankey
There was nothing pretentious or swanky,
He sang without rivals
At Moody’s revivals, –
A most diligent born-again Yankee.
