Nielsen, Ludvig(b Borge, Østfold, 3 Feb 1906). Norwegian composer, organist and conductor. After studies with Sandfold and Lange at the Oslo Conservatory, he attended the Leipzig Conservatory as a pupil of Straube, Raphael and Hochkofler (1931–2). He returned to Oslo to study with Steenberg and Walle-Hansen. He made his début as an organist in 1926 and as a pianist in 1930, both in Oslo. From 1924 to 1932 he was organist of the Høvik Church, in Baerum, Akershus Castle, and then at the Ris Church in Aker (1932–5). From 1935 to 1976 he was organist and conductor of the three choirs at Trondheim Cathedral. He taught at the Oslo Conservatory (1934–5) and at the Trondheim Music School (1942–76). Considered one of the finest of Scandinavian organists, he has given numerous recitals throughout Norway and Sweden. He has conducted annual performances of oratorios and passions in Trondheim Cathedral and ranks among his country’s leading composers of church music. Among the awards he has received are the music prize of the Norwegian Culture Council (1976), the Lindeman Prize (1979) and the Culture Prize of the Municipality of Trondheim (1980). He is a Knight of the Order of St Olav (first class) and of the Order of Danebrog. Nielsen’s music is monumental and dignified, but also introverted and meditative. Key ingredients of his style are polyphony, Norwegian folk music and the music of medieval Norway, as are the use of ecclesiastical keys and leitmotif technique. His earliest works were influenced by Palestrina (e.g. in the organ works Variasjoner over Ingen vinner frem til den evige ro and Oslofantasi, both 1941); in the Te Deum (1945) a more national element is discernible, and Messe på Olavsdagen (1948) makes wide use of medieval material. In later compositions, such as the choral work Fagnadagsongar (1957), his use of dissonance is more apparent; the oratorio Draumkvedet (1962) takes its material from the Middle Ages, and in the choral work Lilja (1978) freer tonality is employed.

Moe: Ludvig Nielsens opusliste med biografiske opplysninger (Trondheim, 1996) KARI MICHELSEN Nielsen, Riccardo(b Bologna, 3 March 1908; d Ferrara, 31 Jan 1982). Italian composer. A pupil of Carlo Gatti in Milan, he received a diploma in composition at the Bologna Conservatory in 1931. Between 1946 and 1950 he was superintendent at the Teatro Comunale in Bologna, and from 1952 director of the Istituto Musicale, later Conservatory of Ferrara. He won many prizes, including an Italia Prize in 1953 for his radio opera La via di Colombo. He published several editions of Renaissance and Baroque music. As with many Italian composers of his generation, Nielsen’s stylistic development passed from neo-classicism, under the influence of Casella (Sinfonia concertante, 1931) and Stravinsky (Musica for 2 pianos, 1939 and Psalmus in confessione xcix, 1941) to the rigorous application of 12-note procedures, beginning with Musica per archi, first performed at the Festival of Contemporary Music in Venice in 1946. Schoenberghian Expressionism is also evident in the surreal monodrama L’incubo (1948). Subsequently Nielsen moulded his serial processes to bring out recognizably tonal formations within simple, airy formal structures. Examples of this approach are the radio opera La via di Colombo, with its clear, stylish instrumental writing, and works of the early 1950s, such as the Sonata for two pianos and the two sonatinas for piano. Later he adopted a more radical Webernian rigour; his last works – Varianti and Fasce sonore – approach the integral serialism of the post-Webern avant garde. WORKS(selective list)
