Life
Born in Neuhof, Hesse,[1] He took piao lessons from age 10 and organ lessons from age 12. [2] He studied church music at the Musikhochschule Frankfurt from 1962, graduating in 1966. He then became director of church music at Liebfrauen in Frankfurt, holding the position to 2000.[1] In 1973 he composed songs titled Ganz nah ist dein Wort, with new texts by Huub Oosterhuis and Lothar Zenetti. From 1978, he composed many songs on lyrics by Eugen Eckert.[1]
From 1974 to 2000 he led the Arbeitskreis Kirchenmusik und Jugendseelsorge im Bistum Limburg. He lectured at the Musikhochschule Frankfurt from 1986 to 1997.[1]
His song "Der Herr wird dich mit seiner Güte segnen", to a text by Helmut Schlegel, was the most successful German entry to an international competition of the genre Neues Geistliches Lied in 1983 in Rome.[1] He also composed the official song of the Katholikentag 1998 in Mainz, "Schnee schmilzt" (Snow melts) on a text by Eckert.
