Let's make this birthday one to remember.

84 years old (Born on August 06, 1940)

Happy birthday, Egil! You're so talented at composing for film, theatre, and TV that even your grocery list deserves its own standing ovation. Your recent compositions amazed orchestras and choirs alike—rumor has it the string quartets gave you a group hug after performing your latest masterpiece!

From large ensembles to intimate groups, your versatility is legendary; if Mozart was around today he'd probably take improvisation lessons from you. The performances you've produced lately have resonated deeply with audiences everywhere—we suspect you're secretly orchestrating planets next.

Here's hoping your cake doesn't come prearranged into four movements this year—Cheers!
