Anders Eliasson was a Swedish composer born in 1947 who began his professional career in the late 1960s and worked primarily in contemporary classical music. He developed a distinctive personal idiom drawing on lyrical melodies, modal harmonies and contrapuntal textures, often blending tonal references with modern dissonance, and his output, including symphonies, chamber music and vocal works, occupies a place within late 20th-century Scandinavian contemporary music.
