Mateusz Rudkowski

Mateusz (or Mieczysław)[1] Rudkowski (also Ukrainian: Матвій Рудковський; c. 1809 — c. 1887) was a Ukrainian-Polish composer of choral and piano music.

He received his musical education in Lviv and Vienna. In 1850-1860 he was kapellmeister of the choir of Greek Catholic seminary in Lviv, and directed the Ukrainian choir of Stauropegion Institute.

Rudkowski was a member of the Galician Music Society in Lviv, and taught its members choral and especially church singing.[2] Some of his compositions were published at his own expense and by Żupański in Poznań, and others by Wild and Kallenbach in Lviv. He composed a mass performed in Lviv in 1855 or 1856.[3]

Rudkowski's compositions were regularly reviewed in Ruch Muzyczny: Opp. 2 and 3 in 1860,[4] Opp. 4 and 5 in 1861.[5]
