German composer and conductor with Austrian origin. He received his first education at the Augustinian monastery of St. Florian near Linz and the Benedictine Gymnasium at Kremsmünster. From 1921 to 1923 he studied composition with Joseph Marx at the Vienna Academy of Music, where he also came under the influence of Arnold Schönberg and his school. Since 1924 he worked in Wels as a primary school teacher, organist and choirmaster. In 1934 he was appointed to the staff of the Leipzig Landeskonservatorium (later Hochschule für Musik), where he was made director in 1942. After a short time at the Salzburg Mozarteum David became professor of composition at the Stuttgart Hochschule fuer Musik (1948-63). He received membership of the academies of arts in Berlin, Munich, Vienna and Hamburg.
