In trying to fill out this article a bit, would an infobox be helpful? Also, if I can find some sort of free-use photo that contributes to the article, I'll throw it in there.

Lauridsen is widely considered a 'nob' in the world of music, due to his obsession with French, German, and Italian 6th's, which all make very regular appearances in his music; his use of such musical techniques is seen as 'obsessive', and the man is greatly disrespected for this trait.
Two points here - First, this particular bit doesn't seem like it fits in any encyclopedic source. Second, is there any reference at all that states that he is disrespected in the slightest bit for his style? I may just happen to agree, personally, with that statement, but I don't think that that's grounds for this blanket statement that, frankly, comes out of nowhere.
Anyone?

It was just some vandalism.
Although no one responded to the afformention comment, I'd hardly say that an over abundance of augmented sixth chords is grounds to call someone obsessive. Lauridsen may be seen as a one-trick pony because the majority of his songs are in D major, and the D9 chord appears everywhere, but Eric Whitacre respects him extremely (he told me himself), and I can not recall anyone ever saying anything negative about the man. If using augmented sixth chords is "obsessive", than nearly every composer in history is obsessive. Kntrabssi 10:27, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Have edited 'with Danish roots' to Swedish based on admittedly brief Googling. The Swedish-Americans link was already at the bottom of the article, so ... http://www.mosingers.com/composers/lauridsen.html
Composer himself says "Swedish-Americans" is not correct. In fact his assistant is going to contact the other source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Everydaynewmercy ( talk • contribs) 15:56, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi there. The article was entirely in bold font, which I have now changed. Hope that's o.k. Tanyushka ( talk)
