Alf Clausen, longtime composer for ‘The Simpsons’ and former North Dakotan, dies at 84
Most people know the music. Fewer know the man behind it—and even fewer know he was from North Dakota. Alf Clausen, the Emmy-winning composer who scored The Simpsons for nearly three decades, died last week at 84. Raised in Jamestown and educated at NDSU, Clausen’s journey from choir and French horn in a small-town high school to the heart of Hollywood is a reminder that remarkable talent often begins in quiet places.
