The music of Norbert Wissing (18-05-1959 ) is based on colour as is shown in his colourful orchestration as well as in the inspiration Norbert draws out of paintings and photo-collages. His refined orchestration he learned from the renowned Dutch master Lex van Delden.

In 2010 the acquaintance with artist and poet Sharon Miedema let to a new, more intense accent in his music. Recent works in this style are "Sharons Songs" and "Otto Dipinti di Sharon".

Repeatedly studying and listening the music of great composers as Shostakovitch, Sibelius, Nielsen and Prokofiev strengthens the continuous flow of his imagination.

He composes music for Orchestra and Chamber-Ensembles, as well as music for Theatre. He wrote music for the Fassbinder play "Bremer Freiheit" at the occasion of the Fassbinder-retrospective of the Ostade-Theater (Amsterdam, 1998). 

His orchestral music is performed by the Ricciotti-Ensemble, which played his "Fassbinders Tod" on tour through the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark (1998). 

The composition "Light" for soprano, trumpet and organ is performed in the 2006 season of the Enschede Music Festival. His interest in orchestration is shown in his collaboration with Hans van Eck in the arrangements of classical and modern works. his music is published by
