Svend S. Schultz

Svend S. Schultz (1913–1998) was a Danish composer and conductor known for his neo-classical style and rhythmic vitality, with a prolific career spanning choral works, orchestral pieces, and film scores. A pupil of Poul Schierbeck at the Royal Danish Academy of Music, he became a beloved figure in Danish music, directing choirs for Danish Radio and crafting works like the cantata *Jul* and the oratorio *Job*. His playful yet structured compositions, including *Music for Wind Players* and *Quintetto per Nefertite*, showcase his knack for blending clarity with expressive energy.

Schultz’s legacy thrives in his choral music, celebrated for its vocal elegance and emotional resonance. Recent releases like *Efterklange – Samlede værker for blandet kor* (Vols. 1–3) and *Yndigt Dufter Danmark* highlight his enduring popularity in Denmark, cementing his reputation as a master of a cappella writing. Beyond the concert hall, he scored films such as *Smedestræde 4* and *Gribedyret*, bridging classical and mid-century Danish cinematic arts.
