Full biography Nils Lindberg
Nils Lindberg was a talented and highly respected Swedish composer, arranger, and pianist. He was born on April 27, 1933, and passed away on February 19, 2022, at the age of 88. Lindberg was a prolific composer who wrote music for a wide range of ensembles, including jazz bands, choirs, and orchestras.
Lindberg began studying music at Uppsala University and later at the Royal Swedish Academy of Music in Stockholm. He quickly gained a reputation as a gifted composer and pianist and worked alongside many of Sweden's most prominent jazz musicians, including Arne Domnerus, Bengt Hallberg, and Lars Gullin.
Throughout his career, Lindberg composed and arranged a wide range of pieces in various styles, including jazz, classical, and even pop. Some of his most well-known works include "Shall I Compare Thee," "As You Are," and "Ballad från tio öar."
Lindberg's music was known for its intricate harmonies and innovative arrangements, which often blended elements of classical and jazz music. He also had a particular talent for writing for choirs, and many of his works in this genre, such as his suite for the West German Radio Choir , are still performed today.
In addition to his work as a composer, Lindberg was a dedicated educator and mentor to many young musicians. He taught composition and arranging at the Royal Swedish Academy of Music for over 30 years and was widely respected for his insight and expertise.
Lindberg's contributions to the world of music were significant and far-reaching, and his legacy continues to inspire and influence generations of composers and musicians.
