Einojuhani Rautavaara (Finnish: [ˈɛi̯nɔjuhɑni ˈrɑu̯tɑvɑːrɑ] ; 9 October 1928 – 27 July 2016) was a Finnish composer of classical music. He is among the most notable Finnish composers since the time of Jean Sibelius (1865-1957). Rautavaara wrote a great number of works spanning various styles. Having written early works using 12-tone serial techniques, his later music may be described as neo-romantic and mystical. His major works include Cantus Arcticus and Symphony No. 7 "Angel of Light".
