Nordiska Musikförlaget.Swedish music publishing and retailing firm. It was founded in Stockholm in 1915 as a subsidiary of the Danish publishing house Hansen; the co-owner and director of the firm was Sven Scholander. From its inception the enterprise had both publishing and retailing interests and it is now a major company in both respects. As a publishing house Nordiska Musikförlaget has constantly worked in association with large European publishers such as Peters and Sikorski, as well as its sister companies Hansen (Copenhagen), Norsk Musikforlag (Oslo), Chester (London) and Wilhelmiana (Frankfurt); it is a representative for the orchestral music of Universal Edition, Ricordi, Schirmer and other firms. In its publishing and promotion of Swedish and Scandinavian composers Nordiska Musikförlaget has had a considerable influence on Swedish musical life. The catalogue includes works by Stenhammar, Rangström, Nystroem and Hilding Rosenberg; during the 1960s and 70s the firm began to publish the works of Pettersson, Bäck, Hemberg, Werle, Lars Edlund, Bo Nilsson, Morthenson, Sven-David Sandström and many others. It also issues a substantial amount of educational music and popular music. In 1988 the firm was taken over by Music Sales, then sold to Fazer of Helsinki which was itself acquired by Warner Music International in 1993. INGER GUSTAVSSON
Nordmann, Marielle (Isabelle)(b Montpellier, 24 Jan 1941). French harpist. In 1958 she graduated from the Paris Conservatoire harp class of Lily Laskine, with whom she later toured and recorded as a harp duo. Her enthusiastic advocacy of the works of Elias Parish Alvars led to first performances in France of his op.91 (Cannes, 1985) and op.98 (Besançon, 1989) concertos, and a subsequent CD recording with the Strasbourg PO. In the late 1990s her concern with popularizing the harp led to tours with her successful multimedia presentation La Harpe Apprivoisée, and since 1995 she has organized annual Journées de la Harpe at Arles. Marielle Nordmann was appointed Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres in 1996, and a Chevalier of the Légion d'Honneur in 1998.

American composer and music therapist. He studied the piano with Samaroff at the Philadelphia Conservatory (BM 1927, MM 1932) and composition with Goldmark at the Juilliard School. In 1960 he received the degree of Bachelor of Music Therapy from Combs College. He was head of composition at the Philadelphia Conservatory (1938–43), a teacher at Michigan State College (1945–9) and professor of music at Bard College (1948–59). Among the awards he received were two Guggenheim Fellowships (1933, 1935) and a Pulitzer Music Scholarship. Nordorff was a crusader for the newer trends in contemporary music, but his own style remained tonal, consonant and lyrically Romantic. Until 1959 he was a ‘conventional’ composer; thereafter he devoted his attention to music therapy for handicapped children, a discipline whose theory and practice he established in the USA. WORKS

Swedish conductor, organist and composer. After beginning his career as a military musician, he studied at the Swedish Royal Academy of Music. From 1859 he worked as a viola player (later violinist) in the Hovkapellet (opera orchestra), advancing to chorus master in 1876. He was appointed court conductor in 1885 and first court conductor in 1892. From 1888 to 1892 he was also director of the Royal Opera and was instrumental in saving it from financial ruin during the 1880s. Among his other posts were those of military music director of the Jönköping regiment (1864–74), organist at the Storkyrka in Stockholm (from 1875) and conductor of the Stockholm Musikförening (1886–9). He was a music teacher at two Stockholm schools, and he taught harmony at the conservatory (1870–72, 1880–1900) and ensemble and orchestral playing (1910–16). As a composer of theatre and ballet music, piano pieces, band music and other occasional pieces Nordqvist was of slight importance, although his funeral march for Karl XV (1872) is well known. His work as a conductor, with particular success in Mozart and French opéra comique, and as director of the Royal Opera, made him one of the central figures in the Swedish musical life of his time. He was elected a member of the Swedish Royal Academy of Music in 1870. BIBLIOGRAPHYA. Lindgren: Svenske hofkapellmästare 1782–1882 (Stockholm, 1882), 147–50 C.F.
