Rudolf Mors (16 July 1920 – 24 September 1988) was a German composer.
Born in Munich, the son of the composer Richard Mors (1874-1946), a representative of the Munich School around Ludwig Thuille, Mors began his training during the Second World War with Gustav Geierhaas and continued it after his return from Soviet captivity with Joseph Haas and Karl Höller. His graduation from the Munich Academy of Music was honoured with the Richard Strauss Prize of the city of Munich, of which Mors was the first recipient.
In 1951, he became Kapellmeister and composer for the Schauspiel in Ingolstadt, followed by an engagement as First Kapellmeister at the Theater Ulm, where he wrote and premiered the two musical parodies Freiheit in Krähwinkel and Der Weiberstreik in collaboration with the cabaret artist Hanns Dieter Hüsch., also broadcast by ZDF in the sixties, is still occasionally found on playbills today. In 1963, Mors changed to the position of a drama composer at the Bielefeld Theatre, where he could devote himself more to the composition of free works.
In 1983, Mors was awarded the Hans-Werner-Henze-Preis of the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe for his complete works.
