Noted tune-smith Alf Clausen, famously associated with the popular animated sitcom The Simpsons, has sadly left us. At the time of his departure, he was 84 years old.
According to reports, Clausen passed away last Thursday, having battled Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) for the past ten years. No additional information was provided regarding the specifics surrounding his demise.
Clausen joined “The Simpsons” during its second season in 1990 and stayed until 1997, serving as the show’s composer for almost two decades. In this time, he received two Emmys, making him the most-nominated composer in the history of these awards with a total of 30 nominations. Additionally, he won five Annie Awards for “The Simpsons.” It is estimated that he created close to 600 original scores for various episodes, which is believed to be a record for the most ever written for a single American TV series.
Initially, Clausen led an orchestra of 35 musicians to create music for The Simpsons. However, he was dismissed from the show in 2017, allegedly due to financial cutbacks by the network and production company. In response, Clausen sued Fox in 2019, but later withdrew the lawsuit in 2022. Despite his departure, Clausen has been recognized as “Composer Emeritus,” a title given to honor his contributions to the show’s music.
