Sven Sköld (1899−1956)
Sven Josua Sköld was born on the island of Lidingö, near Stockholm on 20 July 1899, and died there on 23 October 1956. He was a cellist, conductor and composer. He made his most significant musical contributions as a composer, arranger and orchestra conductor at the Swedish radio and as a composer of music for Swedish sound films. In both of these capacities he was one of the most productive and influential creators of music during the 1940s and 1950s.
Early career as a musician
Sven Sköld was born and died on the island of Lidingö, now on the outskirts of central Stockholm, and the capital city was his base throughout his entire life. In his twenties he was a student at the Kungliga Musikkonservatoriet (the Royal Conservatory of Music) where he studied during the years 1919−23, with the cello as his main instrument and Carl Lindhe as his main teacher. He then began a career as a cinema and restaurant musician – in which he worked fulltime until 1931, mainly within Stockholm.
At the same time he established himself as both a conductor and arranger within various contexts – his earliest compositions and arrangements stem from the early 1920s. He founded the ensemble Septiman in 1929, which comprised a string quartet, clarinet and piano. The group became quite popular, touring and making several gramophone recordings.
Radio collaborator and orchestra conductor
From the 1930s Sven Sköld and Septiman were played extensively on the radio and in 1931 he received his first appointment there. In 1943 he was hired as orchestra leader, arranger and conductor at the Radiotjänst (the Swedish radio). During 1942 he was also the conductor for the Hovkapellet (the Royal Court Orchestra). As a frequent guest conductor in various contexts in other Nordic countries, he appeared on Danish, Norwegian and Finnish radio as a conductor.
During his lifetime Sven Sköld was especially know as a very skilful arranger and later as a composer. As an arranger he worked particularly with popular music and music for entertainment, partly with Septiman. He worked for Swedish radio with so-called radio potpourris often based on well know melodic material of various types, such as folk music or religious music – for example Så älskade Gud världen, a piece inspired by music from the free church movement that was also produced on a phonogram. Sköld was additionally the author of hundreds of radio rhapsodies – another form of larger arrangements for the radio, as in Som stjärnan uppå himmelen, Erk du, Maja du and Vid älvom, på berg och i dalom. These were all artistic adaptations of well-known Swedish folk tunes and religious songs that were used as musical raw material and freely available for use by composers and arrangers. In this capacity Sven Sköld was one of the most versatile and productive figures within Swedish radio.
Composer of film music
Beginning in 1929 Sven Sköld would come to arrange and compose music for some forty Swedish films, both long and short, feature films and newsreels. The exposure his music received through popular and iconic films such as Hon dansade en sommar and Salka Valka led to its becoming a sort of imaginary soundtrack for the Swedish 1940s and 1950s. The composed material from the films is essentially from the period 1942−57. The arrangements are often (but not always) from the same films during the period 1937−57 – i.e. up until one year after his death.
He collaborated with many of the era’s foremost Swedish directors; Arne Mattsson was a renowned creator of films, with whom Sven Sköld worked quite a bit. Some of his best-known contributions to the field include music for classic films such as Arne Mattsson’s previously named Hon dansade en sommar (1951), for which Sköld received the prize for best film music at the Cannes Film Festival in 1952. Others include Rolf Husberg’s Barnen från Frostmofjället (1945) and Mattsson’s Salka Valka (1954) as well as Hemsöborna (1955) – all significant audience successes. Sköld was also the orchestra conductor for several film music recordings, for which he both composed and arranged music: Ordet (1943), Klockan på Rönneberga (1944) and Johansson och Vestman (1946).
The composer
The exposure that he received on the radio as a composer was also significant; in certain years during the 1940s Sven Sköld was the most-played of all composers on the radio. Against a background of the premier importance of radio at the time and its huge impact on Swedish society, the fact that he was the most listened-to composer in that medium made him, in that sense, the most significant Swedish composer at the time.
Sköld would come to work within a range of the era’s important genres, in which suites for orchestra occupy a prominent place, for example, Orkestersvit and Kung Erik och Karin. His most performed and popular composition is the concert piece Sommar for violin and orchestra (1938−39), which, with its impressionistic-romantic tonal language and timeless qualities, proved to have an enduring and valuable place within the concert repertoire – there are also a number of recordings available.
Sven Sköld’s compositional style has been described as many things, including ‘a fittingly modern national romantic style’ by the Nationalencyklopedin and ‘a musical but willingly oversized entertainment style’ by Bonniers Musiklexikon. His music, through its connection with Swedish folk music (essentially orchestral arrangements) and a folk-like tone, actually does have a stylistic affinity with national romantic music. However, Sköld belongs to a later era that is influenced by modern music media such as radio and sound film, a popular music borne by the phonogram and, in a broad sense, modern streams within contemporary Swedish art music. In his overall creative output he consequentially reformulated impressions from 1930s neo-classic streams and French impressionism. This can be heard in the partly impressionistic, partly modern national romantic sounds of Sommar. In this respect his tonal language is related to the moderate modernism heard in a slightly younger generation – those born in the 1930s – including such names as Lars-Erik Larsson, Dag Wirén, Erland von Koch and Gunnar de Frumerie.
A musician of his time
Composition was only a part of Sven Sköld’s musical activity, albeit a prominent one. In fact he seamlessly united a number of creative musical roles into a clearly versatile persona: composer, arranger, conductor, orchestra leader, musician, radio presence and film music composer. His music was to the highest degree a mediatized one, in that it was produced for, presented in and influenced by media. It is in fact hardly possible to separate his composing from his two decades of daily activities at the Radiotjänst and the Svensk Filmindustri (the Swedish Film Industry) – and within these media his skills as an arranger, conductor and producer of recordings of previously composed music were put to good use equally well. In Sven Sköld’s case it is difficult to separate the composer from the arranger; they are two sides of the same coin.
Sven Sköld was involved in a large number of phonogram recordings as a conductor and performer, including a number of recordings with the group Septiman and with the Hovkapellet as well as other radio ensembles. In his roll as orchestra conductor he frequently recorded the works of other contemporary Swedish composers of art music, as well as a broad variety of music for entertainment and popular music. Examples include music for children, such as Alice Tegnér’s ‘Sjung med oss, mamma!’, but also his own minor compositions, which were given out on the record label Sagoton. Sven Sköld’s musical estate of compositions, arrangements and recordings combines numerous genres and styles, created for phonograms, radio and film. His creative output is all-encompassing to the extent of being almost impossible to get a good overview of, but is stylistically highly representative of his era, and well worth studying.
