from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Götz Wiese (born March 6, 1928 in Celle ; † March 25, 2012 there ) was a German organist and regional church music director of the regional church in Hanover.

Life

Wiese took private music lessons from the Hanoverian city cantor Gustav Sasse and studied at the music academies in Cologne and Hanover. He then worked as a cantor in Hermannsburg, Loccum, from 1959 to 1970 in the Northeim St. Sixti congregation and finally from 1971 to his retirement in 1991 as the first regional church music director in his hometown of Celle. In addition, the church musician took on various functions in the administrative area, for example in the office for church services and church music, in the convention of church music directors for training and further education as well as in the regional synod and the Lower Saxony church choir association.

In addition to his own compositions of religious works, he also edited numerous melodies and movements for hymns as well as the musical parts of the service according to Agende I, some of which were included in the Evangelical hymnal . This includes the melody for Friedrich Walz ' See, he's alone in the garden (EG, M 95), the sentence about Reverse, reverse (EG, S 606) and the melodies of Aufgetan ist die Welt (EG, M 567 ), Lord, make the church an instrument of your peace (EG, M 615) and glory to the father and son (EG, M 177.3), for which Wiese sketched a draft with an open ending at a meeting of the music committee of the Lutheran Liturgical Conference , which was first included in the Renewed Agende and finally even in the Evangelical Hymnal. In addition, Wiese also published a booklet for use in church services and composed the cantata Hope for Fig Trees based on Kurt Rose's text on Luke 13, 6-9.

In 1993 Wiese was awarded the City of Celle's Culture Prize.
