Who was Hildor Lundvik?
Hildor Lundvik first studied law at Uppsala University, then music at the Royal Swedish Academy of Music in Stockholm, graduating as a music teacher in 1912, as precentor and organist in 1919 and singing teacher in 1913. He became organist of St Göran, Stockholm, 1928, directed the Bellman Male-Choir from 1930 to 1950, and was Principal Conductor of the Stockholm Federation of Male Voice Choirs.
Hildor Lundvik’s main achievement as a composer was in the field of vocal music, although he also produced a small number of short orchestral works and various piano compositions. His choral songs Som ett blommande mandelträd and Det första vårregnet and Verlaine-stämning have stood the test of time with their natural freshness unimpaired. His cantata Sången, a succession of male voice quartets and several solo songs are also memorable. Lundvik wrote in a fairly romantic, lyrical style, using vivid impressionist tone colouring.
