[edit] Musical style
His oeuvre consists of a series Musica: solo pieces some with accompaniment, some solo; and of a series Canto: large scale works for chamber ensembles and orchestras.
The style of Norbert Wissing's music can be described as moderately modern or Neo-Romantic. He uses long melodical lines in a basically modal world, his harmonies are built on fourths. The orchestration of Wissing's music is refined and powerful. Influences on his melodical style can be traced back to Carl Nielsen and Leos Janacek, while the orchestration of Wissing is influenced by Gustav Mahler, Dmitri Shostakovitch and Richard Strauss.
