Lodewijk Mortelmans was a Belgian composer and conductor of Flemish ancestry. Sometimes called de Vlaamse Brahms, Mortelmans composed in a number of forms, including piano music and orchestral works, but he was most celebrated in his day for his art songs. Beginning in 1899, he often set the poetry of the priest Guido Gezelle. His opera De Kinderen van Zee was first produced in 1920 at the Vlaamse Opera.
