	Music Prize to Norwegian composer Lasse Thoresen The Nordic Council Music Prize 2010 goes to the Norwegian composer Lasse Thoresen, for "Opus 42". The Adjudication Committee states: “Opus 42” is unique. It represents a renewal not just of Nordic vocal music, but of score-based vocal music in general. This strikingly beautiful piece reveals the common denominators in ancient and ultra-modern sounds, drawing our attention to the similarities between Scandinavian folk traditions and the music we might find in, say, the Middle East or India.
