Louis Andriessen, avant-garde composer of ‘personal, aggressive’ music, dies at 82 Tim Page Louis Andriessen, perhaps the leading Dutch composer since the death of Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck in the 17th century and an embodiment of the international avant-garde since the 1960s, died July 1 in Weesp, a suburb of Amsterdam. He was 82. He died at a care facility that promotes “humanized living for people with severe dementia.” The death was announced by Boosey & Hawkes, Mr. Andriessen’s longtime publisher.

A piece called “Workers Union” (1975) was scored for “any loud-sounding group of instruments.”
