Svend S. Schultz, composer

About
Svend S. Schultz is the great nature lyricist in twentieth-century Danish choral music. In an age of avant-garde, dodecaphony and musical experiments he carried on undaunted writing his simple, beautiful choral songs inspired by poems about the Danish landscape and weather. Besides his many choral works he composed frequently in other genres, for example film and ballet music, entertaining, instrumental and chamber music and several operas.
