Swedes mourn Pippi Longstocking composer
RIPThe Czech-born composer Georg Riedel died yesterday, aged 90.
He was the composer on most movies made from the children’s stories of Astrid Lindgren, including the main theme of Emil i Lönneberga. ‘Ida’s summer song’ is known to most Swedes from their childhood.
Riedl arrived in Sweden aged four, a refugee from Germany’s occupation of Czech territory.
