He was organist in Adolf Fredrik church from 1914 and a teacher of harmony at the Royal Conservatory of Music from 1924. As a composer he is best known for his many solo songs, including ‘Till havs’ and Christmas song Jul, jul, strålande jul.[1] In later years, his works drifted increasingly towards the sacred.
