Lorentz Severin Skougaard (11 May 1837 - 14 February 1885) was a Norwegian tenor.

Early life

Lorentz Severin Skougaard was born on 11 May 1837 in Farsund, Norway, the son of Jonas Eilertsen Lund Schougaard (1807-1877) and Sara Helene Jonasdatter Lund (1813-1910).

At first he was a trading officer, working at first in Memel, Norway, and then London. Later he moved to Paris and Italy to study music.[1]

Career

In 1864 Lorentz Severin Skougaard sang in Stockholm, Berlin and Christiania. In Paris in 1866, he met Alfred Corning Clark.[2]

In 1866 Skougaard gave a series of recitals in New York City in conjunction with Alfred H. Pease at the Irving Hall. The recitals introduced him favorably to the New York public and he became a successful vocal teacher.[3] In 1874 he have a charitable concert at the Steinway Hall in aid of the Scandinavian poor of New York City. There were a large number of performers and it was under the patronage of many prominent persons.[3]

Personal life

Lorentz Severin Skougaard moved to the United States in 1866.[3] In 1869, the same year when he married, Clark began making annual summer visits to Norway with Skougaard, eventually building a house on an island near Skougaard's family home.[3][2] Clark's son, born in 1870, bears the middle name of Severin. When in New York City, Skougaard lived in Clark's flat at 64 West 22nd Street. The apartment was a favorite evening resort for music lovers, attracted by Skougaard's very companionable qualities, and the house for years was known as "Severini Hall".[3][4] According to Nicholas Fox Weber's biographer of the Clark family (The Clarks of Cooperstown, 2007), Clark led a double life, in the United States a family man, in Europe a gay aesthete. For 19 years his closest companion was Skougaard.[3][5][6]

On 14 February 1885, in New York City, Skougaard died of typhoid fever.[2][7]

Legacy

Clark eulogized him in a privately published biographical sketch, Lorentz Severin Skougaard : a sketch, mainly autobiographic[8] and created a $64,000 endowment in his memory for Manhattan's Norwegian Hospital, 4th Avenue & 46th Street.[9]

Clark also commissioned Brotherly Love (1886–87) to American sculptor George Grey Barnard to adorn his friend's grave in Langesund, Norway.[10] The homoerotic sculpture depicts two nude male figures blindly reaching out to each other through the block of marble that separates them.[11] Later Clark moved Barnard to New York City and maintained him.[6]
