Hugo Gyldmark was a Danish composer who was born on August 1, 1899, in Copenhagen, Denmark. He was the son of a music teacher and grew up in a musical family. His father, Carl Gyldmark, was a composer and conductor, and his mother, Marie Gyldmark, was a pianist. Hugo Gyldmark showed an early interest in music and began playing the piano at a young age. Gyldmark studied music at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen, where he was a student of the composer Carl Nielsen. He also studied with the composer Knud Jeppesen and the pianist Egon Petri. Gyldmark was a talented pianist and performed in concerts throughout Denmark. In the 1920s, Gyldmark began composing music for films. He wrote the music for several Danish films, including "The Golden Clown" (1926) and "The Viking" (1928). In 1930, he moved to Hollywood, where he worked as a composer for the film industry. He wrote the music for several Hollywood films, including "The Big Broadcast" (1932) and "College Rhythm" (1934). Gyldmark's most famous composition is the song "Always and Always," which he wrote for the film "The Big Broadcast" in 1932. The song became a hit and was recorded by several popular singers, including Bing Crosby and Rudy Vallee. Gyldmark also wrote the music for the song "Moonlight and Shadows," which was recorded by the singer Connee Boswell. In addition to his work in film music, Gyldmark also composed classical music. He wrote several symphonies, including Symphony No. 1 in C minor and Symphony No. 2 in D major. He also wrote chamber music, including a string quartet and a piano trio. Gyldmark was known for his melodic and romantic style of music. His compositions were often compared to those of the composer Franz Schubert.
