Career

Siem studied piano with Nils Larsen, Erling Westher and Ivar Johnsen. He made his concert debut as pianist in 1938, and toured widely in Norway and internationally until his playing career was interrupted by an injured elbow. He started writing music for film and theatre, worked as kapellmeister and conductor, contributed to the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, and was a columnist for the newspaper VG. An active participant in the Friends of Folk Song Club, he co-edited several songbooks, jointly with Thorbjørn Egner and Yukon Gjelseth. His publications further include the cookbook Kåres nam-nam-bok for kløner og duster (1974) and the memoir books Bingo (1978) and Klokkene ringer for meg (1979). He was a board member of Musikkens Venner, active in the music copyrights organization TONO, and a board member of Ny Musikk.[1][2]

He died in Oslo on 23 June 1986. A bust of Siem, sculpted by Per Palle Storm, is located in Oslo.[1]

It’s a cute baby dragon. Its markings give off an otherworldly light.Young dragons are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.(Please note that it is against the site rules to give aid to a user without their permission.)```

gollark: Okay, looks like days but no hours is fine.
