Norris, William(b c1669; bur. Lincoln, 15 July 1702). English composer and cathedral singer. As a chorister of the Chapel Royal he sang at the coronation of James II in 1685. In 1686 he became a junior vicar at Lincoln Cathedral, where he was appointed Master of the Choristers in 1690. Norris was one of several capable minor composers to grow up under John Blow's tutelage at the Chapel Royal. His St Cecilia's Day ode Begin the noble song is an extended work in which only the outermost sections are in the tonic (C major) or the tonic minor, intermediate movements being in A minor, F, D, and G minor. Norris's verse anthems, accompanied by organ alone, are tonally less adventurous although later examples consist of strongly differentiated contrasting sections; almost all survive in an incomplete partbook set (GB-LI 2–4, olim 311, 48–9), copied between 1686 and 1703. Several are found in partbooks from other cathedrals and in manuscript scores such as GB-Lbl Add.30932 and Add.31444/5, respectively in the hands of Daniel Henstridge and James Hawkins, and Lbl Harl.7340, part of Thomas Tudway's collection. The treble solo anthem Blessed are those that are undefiled was published without its brief chorus passages in Walsh's Divine Harmony (London, c1731) and, in a different version, in William Pearson's The Second Book of the Divine Companion (London, after 1722). Norris also wrote two ‘chanting services’ in which the full sections are set to a repeated Anglican chant. WORKSsources incomplete unless otherwise stated services

It was established in Oslo on 1 January 1909 through the merger of two existing firms, Carl Warmuth (founded c1843) and Brødrene Hals (1847), with Hals and the Danish publishers Wilhelm Hansen as owners. Hals sold its shares to Sigurd Kielland and Anders Backer-Grøndahl in 1929, and the latter took over Kielland’s share in 1938. The present managing director is Leif Dramstad. The merger of Warmuth and Hals led to the incorporation of several established Norwegian music publishers into Norsk Musikforlag, including Edvard Winther, Hermann Neupert, Lindorff & Co., A.M. Hanche, Johan D. Behrens and Petter Håkonsen. In 1925 the publisher Oluf By was acquired, and in 1975 Norsk Notestik with their predecessors J.A. Røsholm and Haakon Zapffe. Thus the greater part of the practical production of Norwegian music found itself under one roof. In recent years Norsk Musikforlag has concentrated on educational and contemporary Norwegian music. Among composers whose work has been published by the firm are Pauline Hall, D.M. Johansen, Sverre Jordan, Valen, Hovland, Finn Mortensen, Nystedt and H.S. Saeverud. Since its establishment Norsk Musikforlag has maintained its position as the largest music publisher in Norway. The firm also operates a large department for musical instruments.
