Mikuláš Schneider-Trnavský (May 24, 1881, Trnava - May 28, 1958, Bratislava) was a Slovak composer, conductor, and music educator. He was a significant author of the so-called "artificial Slovak song," many of his compositions becoming folk songs over the years. In 1937, he compiled the Unified Catholic Hymnal, which has no equivalent in Central Europe even today. He is considered a member of the older generation of Slovak composers, which includes, for example, J. L. Bella, V. Figuš-Bystrý, and A. Moyzes. He contributed to the founding of the Music and Drama Academy in Bratislava. He studied with the famous composer Zoltán Kodály, whom he first met at the Archbishop's Gymnasium in Trnava and later during studies in Budapest. In 1908, he accompanied the Czech singer B. Umirov on his European tour (Berlin, Paris), where he achieved great success with his Slovak songs. He had a great sense of humor and contributed to the humorous magazine Kocúr. He is the author of the memoir book Smiles and Tears (memories of a Trnava composer). The nickname "Trnavský" was given to him by the Slovak poet S. Hurban-Vajanský, who offered him a glass of wine in August 1904 during the Martin celebrations with the statement that someone who had set his words to music so beautifully should not walk the world with just an "empty" German name. He offered to become his second godfather and add the name "Trnavský." After offering the wine, he said: "Ego te baptiso et fiat nomen tuum Trnavský," gently poured it over his head, and kissed him again. From that moment, he used both names: Schneider-Trnavský.
