  Arne Nordheim
To this characterization of Arne Nordheim given by one of Norway's best known musicologists, Kjell Skyllstad, one may add that Nordheim's music is occupied with big questions like lone-liness, despair, death, darkness, light, love, warmth and hum-our.
Nordheim is a genuine humanist and this is always to be heard in his music.
Arne Nordheim was born in Larvik, Norway in 1931 and studied organ, piano, theory and composition at the Academy of Music in Oslo 1948-1952.

  Arne Nordheim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arne Nordheim (born 20 June 1931) is a Norwegian composer, since 1982 living in the Norwegian State's honorary residence, Grotten, next to the Royal Palace in Oslo.
Nordheim has received numerous prizes for his compositions, and was elected honorary member of the International Society for Contemporary Music in 1997.
Nordheim's musical output is focused around themes of 'solitude, death, love, and landscape' (Aksnes); these themes are already evident in his song cycle Aftonland (Evening Land, 1959), a setting of poems by the Swedish poet Pär Lagerkvist, which brought him national recognition.

 Norsk Musikkinformasjon: Dodeka - Nordheim returns with "new" album
Arne Nordheim’s Dodeka which contains twelve previously unreleased tracks from Nordheim’s electronic period in the 60s and 70s, is the 30th release on renowned Norwegian independent label Rune Grammofon.
Several of Nordheim’s major works were composed in Poland, including Epitaffio (1963) for orchestra and electronics as well as Solitaire (1968) for electronics.
Dodeka is Rune Grammofon’s 30th release, and the label’s previous Nordheim record which contained interpretations and remixes from Helge “Deathprod” Sten (of Supersilent fame) and Biosphere as well as a re-release of Electric, solidified Arne Nordheim’s position on the current electronic music scene.

Arne Nordheim is widely regarded as one of the most important Norwegian composers of his area.
Nordheim joined the Conservatory of Music in Oslo In 1949, but soon found the conservative approach to music too restrictive.
He continued to study music scores and contemporary recordings with a handful of fellow students, moving for a while to Copenhagen, where he was introduced to the music of Béla Bartók by Danish composer Vagn Holmboe, and Paris, where he first experienced electronic music when exposed to the musique concrète movement.
