Ludvig Mathias Lindeman (born November 28, 1812 in Trondhjem, today Trondheim , † May 23, 1887 in Kristiania, today Oslo ) was a Norwegian composer and collector of folk songs.
The son of the organist Ole Andreas Lindeman studied theology and music . In 1846 he became organist in Kristiania and in 1849 a singing teacher at the Theological Seminary. In 1883 he and his son Peter Brynie Lindeman founded the Norwegian Academy of Music , from which the Conservatory of Kristiania emerged in 1894 .
Lindeman composed preludes and fugues for the organ as well as songs . He also edited the folk song collection Ældre og nyere norske Fjeldmelodier , twelve volumes of which were published between 1853 and 1863. A follow-up volume came out in 1867 and a revised new edition in 1874. It contained sung melodies and melodies played on Hardangerfiedel and Langeleik , which Edvard Grieg and Johan Svendsen used in their works.
