Andrew Smith studied music and English at the University of Oslo. He has written a number of works, mostly for choir. His Ave Maria, Regina Caeli, and Ave Maris Stella, for the Norwegian group Trio Medieval, have been performed extensively to great acclaim in Scandinavia, Europe, and the USA. Other commissions have led to performances by leading choirs and ensembles, recent projects including a set of pieces for the Washington National Cathedral Choir of Men and Girls.
'Andrew Smith . . . does something almost unbelievable - he gives us pieces that unmistakably use modern harmonies, but, like the medieval music, sound impersonal; despite its intensity, his work seems free of any postmedieval striving for personal expression.'
Greg Sandow, The Wall Street Journal
