Feliks Nowowiejski (born February 7, 1877 in Wartenburg ( Warmia ), † January 18, 1946 in Poznań ) was a Polish composer , conductor , organist and music teacher .

Life

Childhood and school education

Feliks Nowowiejski was born as the fifth child of a total of eleven siblings. His father, Franz Adam Nowowiejski, born in Wartenburg in 1830, had Polish roots (his grandfather, Jan Nowowiejski, born in Wartenburg in 1730, had married Anna Jabłońska from Tollack , Poland ). He was a master tailor with his own workshop in Wartenburg, where he also ran a public library with Polish books. The mother Katharina Falk (* 1847), the second wife of Franz Adam Nowowiejski, was a German from the neighboring village of Wuttrienen . While the father was actively committed to Polishism in Warmia and was also the director of the local Polish cultural association, the mother showed a great interest in art, among other things as a pianist in the family circle. By singing popular folk songs together and reciting poems by famous poet princes from Poland and Germany as well as her own self-rhymed verses, she promoted the great musical talent of her son Feliks, which she had inherited. Despite their father's patriotic Polish attitude, the children spoke better German than Polish. Even before his time in Berlin, Feliks could only express himself in writing in German.

Nowowiejski's family had lived in Warmia for several generations. In 1883 Feliks Nowowiejski became a pupil at the elementary school in Wartenburg (in the rectory of St. Anna's Church). Because of his musical talent - he already composed his first piano piece at the age of 10 (a suite of simple classical and contemporary dances for piano: polonaise, minuet, polka, waltz, gallop, mazurka and Krakowiak) - he came to the monastery school in Heiligelinde in 1887 , where he was taught harmony and learned to play the violin, cello , french horn , piano and organ . However, he was unable to complete his training as he soon had to provide for the maintenance of his family on his own. In 1893 the family moved to Olsztyn impoverished (bankruptcy of the father's workshop) .

Musician, studying composition, artistic creation

Feliks Nowowiejski was employed as a violinist with the Prussian Grenadier Regiment Orchestra in Allenstein in 1893 , which enabled him to support his parents and siblings. There he composed pieces of music for military bands and amateur orchestras. Thanks to a composition prize for his march Pod sztandarem pokoju (Under the banner of peace) he was able to study at the Stern Conservatory in Berlin from April 1 to September 1898 . From 1898 to 1900 he was the organist at the St. Jakobus Church in Allenstein. After he was awarded another music award, he graduated from 15 January to 16 April 1900 a three-month course at the School of Church Music Regensburg to counterpoint , to Palestrina and Gregorian chant to study. He then studied theory and counterpoint with Ludwig Bussler at the Stern Music Conservatory in Berlin , composition with Wilhelm Taubert and Gradus ad Parnassum with Heinrich Bellermann, and at the same time perfected himself in organ playing with Otto Dienel and in the orchestra with Gustav Hollaender .

After Nowowiejski had sent a cantata to the Royal Academy of Arts in Berlin, he was accepted into the master class for classical composition under Max Bruch (1900–1902). At the same time he began studying musicology and aesthetics at the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin . In Berlin he came into contact with Polish intellectuals and developed a strong Polish patriotism , which was later often reflected in his works (e.g. in Warmian motifs , Rota , Polish courtship or Quo vadis? ).

In 1902 Nowowiejski received his first award, the Giacomo Meyerbeer Prize, for his oratorio Powrót syna marnotrawnego (Return of the Prodigal Son) . With the 4,500 marks in prize money, he financed a study trip through Germany, Bohemia, Moravia, Austria, Italy, Africa, France and Belgium, where he met Antonín Dvořák , Gustav Mahler , Camille Saint-Saëns , Pietro Mascagni and Ruggero Leoncavallo, among others . In 1904 he won the Giacomo Meyerbeer Prize for the second time for his symphonies in A minor (which he later withdrew) and B minor (No. 1). With this prize money he continued his studies with Max Bruch . He was a composition teacher and choir conductor, at the same time organist and choirmaster at St. Hedwig's Cathedral in Berlin and then there at the Dominican Church of St. Paulus . In 1903 he composed the great oratorio Quo vadis? . After the world premiere of the new version (from 1907) on October 22, 1909 in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam , the oratorio was performed in more than 200 cities in Europe, North and South America until 1939. After the performance he conducted at Carnegie Hall in New York, Nowowiejski was hailed as the "new messiah of the oratorio". Quo vadis? made Nowowiejski widely known - and then almost fell into oblivion. 000000000004500.0000000000

In 1909 Nowowiejski settled in Kraków , where he served as the director of the Kraków Music Society. At the same time he was organist and conductor of the Warsaw Symphony Concerts. On July 15, 1910, on the 500th anniversary of the Battle of Tannenberg, the Krakow people gathered on Matejko Square and, under Nowowiejski's direction, agreed to Maria Konopnicka's poem Rota , which calls for resistance to the Germanization of Poles , which Nowowiejski had set to music and which he agreed to became one of the most famous Polish patriotic songs.

In March 1911 Nowowiejski married the Kraków music student Elżbieta Mironow-Mirocka in Kraków - Wawel ; the couple had the daughter Wanda and the four sons Feliks, Kazimierz, Adam and Jan.

Some Polish nationalists did not consider Nowowiejski to be a “pure” Pole (because of his Warmian origins and because he published more in German than in Polish). Due to increasing hostility in Poland, Nowowiejski moved to the German Reich , to Berlin, after the outbreak of the First World War . He was drafted into military service, swore the oath on Kaiser Wilhelm II and served as Kapellmeister in the local military orchestra . After the end of the First World War, he settled in Poznań in 1918 and worked there as a lecturer at the Conservatory of Music , as a composer, conductor and choir director. His appearances as a speaker in the voting campaign of the plebiscite of 1920 in Warmia and Mazury testified to his strengthened Polish patriotism. This led to a rift with his teacher Max Bruch to successfully calling for, Nowowiejski and whose music boycott . Nowowiejski was more and more forgotten in Germany; his music was no longer included in event programs.

At the beginning of the attack on Poland in 1939 Nowowiejski hid with the sisters of the Elisabeth Hospital in Poznań and then fled to Krakow; Before that he had been interned for a short time on suspicion of espionage for Russia (due to the denunciation of a passer-by).

End of life

After a severe stroke in December 1941, he ended his career as a musician. Shortly after the end of the war in 1945, Nowowiejski returned to Poznań, where he died on January 18, 1946. He found his final resting place (honorary grave) in the crypt of the Meritants of St. Adalbert's Church in Poznań.

Even before the First World War, Felix Nowowiejski's musical output was also widely recognized in Germany. B. through the performance of the oratorio Quo vadis in Krefeld in 1913 and the German premiere of the oratorio Kreuzauffindung in 1914, also in Krefeld. According to a newspaper article, the composer who was present in person received enthusiastic ovations in both performances.

Due to the turmoil of the war, some of his pieces of music have been lost or irretrievably lost. Some of his compositions did not reach the public until years after his death. It was only after the Second World War that Nowowiejski began to gain recognition again in Germany; his works were again included in the programs of major music events. Rudolf Innig recorded many of his organ works, including all nine organ symphonies.

Some of his melodies are regularly heard in Polish cities:

  • His melody for the song Rota is played as the carillon of 37 bells every hour on the hour from the 82-meter-high tower of the city hall in Gdansk .
  • The melody to the Polish Warmian hymn O Warmio moja miła (O you my dear Warmia) has been played every day since January 22, 1969, and also at midnight on December 31, from the tower of the town hall in Olsztyn as Hejnał . A trumpeter blew the melody for the first time on October 28, 1947. When the poem was sent to the author of the text, Feliks Nowowiejski wrote: “I composed the song with all my heart, remembering my dear, dear homeland, where more inner, true happiness prevails than anywhere else! "
  • From the bell tower of the old town hall in Świnoujście ( Swinoujscie ) the song Hymn to the Baltic Sea can be heard as a choir song. This is the main melody of his opera Baltische Legende .
