NjålGunnar Støyva

Norwegian composer

I studied and got my diploma in composition at the State Academy ofMusic in Oslo. Later I worked as a lecturer at Bergen Educational Academy, and at Sogn og Fjordane College. Now, I and my wife Jenny enjoy life deep in the countryside in WestNorway.

White snow covered mountains,

deep fjords, green lakes and forests,

clear and cold blue water, rain, sunshine, storms,

and deers peacefully grazing outside our house.

Yes,we have got it all!

This is my inspiration.

This makes me write music from my heart,

 And not from the system I was told.
