Lars Edlund (6 November 1922 – 21 December 2013[1]) was a Swedish composer, organist and music teacher.
He studied music at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, Switzerland, with Ina Lohr.
[3] Edlund started working as a church musician in the early 1940s, and was also a teacher at the Swedish Royal College of Music in Stockholm.
The majority of his compositions were vocal music, many of them with texts on religious or existentialist themes,[2] and he composed the atonal sight-singing workbook Modus Novus.
He also set poems by Gunnar Ekelöf and Tomas Tranströmer to music.
