Adolf Müller (theologian)

Otto Adolf Müller (born April 4, 1876 in Freiberg , † December 17, 1957 in Glaubitz ) was a German Protestant clergyman.

Life

After completing his theology studies, Adolf Müller was vicar in Wittgensdorf from 1902 , where he founded a trombone choir in 1904 . In 1904 he became deacon of Wittgensdorf. From 1907 he worked for the Inner Mission in Dresden. From 1933 to 1936 he was senior church councilor in Dresden.

From 1898 to 1933 Müller was the state trombone pastor of what he called the Saxon Trumpet Mission (SPM). Hundreds of trombone choirs emerged and grew under the direction of the “Saxon trombone master”, as Müller was commonly called. Müller's “Trumpet Celebration Hours” were models for interpreting scriptures through song and music. For the trombone choirs he has also published works by Johann Hermann Schein , Samuel Scheidt , Michael Praetorius , Gottfried Reiche and Johann Christoph Pezelius as well as his "Mit Trosaunen I and II" and VOM TURM. The Strube publishing house in Munich took responsibility for his compositions, which were unprotected until 1990. This resulted in an edition of "Selected Movements" for trombone choir in 2007, edited by his grandsons Michael and Karl-Ernst Müller.

family

In 1904 he married the youngest daughter Marie of the pastor and folk writer Ottokar Schupp from Wiesbaden-Sonnenberg . To represent his son Christoph (Saxony's trombone pastor from 1956-66), who was at war, the couple moved into the parsonage of their second oldest son, pastor in Glaubitz / Riesa. There he did sermon and organ service. During this time, the Dresden apartment was completely destroyed by bombing. The eldest son Ernst died in the war in Laskiw / Vladimir-Volynsk / Ukraine on June 24, 1941. From this death and the search for the grave, his nephew Karl-Ernst, son of Christoph and from 1991 to 2003 2 chairmen or chairmen of the SPM, which bears his name, initiated the care of the grave and a town partnership. The youngest son, Prof. Gottfried Müller , became a lecturer in music theory at the Nuremberg Conservatory .
