Moses Pergament

Moses Pergament (21 September 1893 – 5 March 1977) was a Finnish-Swedish composer, conductor, and music critic.

[1] Pergament studied music at various locations across Europe during his youth, including at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory between 1908 and 1912.

[2] He was a composer of primarily classical music,[3] having written four string quarters, a violin concerto, two piano concertos, and the choral symphony Den judiska sången, as well as various a cappella choir compositions.

[5] In the 1940s, the Lund University choir would perform some of his a capella compositions during a tour in the United States.

[6] His symphony, Den judiska sången, was a piece that became famous among European Jewry due to its basis in the ongoing Holocaust in Europe at the time.
