from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ibo Ortgies (born November 26, 1960 in Hage , East Friesland ) is a German - Swedish musicologist , specialist translator and banker .

Life

Ibo Ortgies grew up in the north (East Frisia) . He studied historical and systematic musicology at the University of Hamburg from 1985 to 1990 . After a lengthy, job-related break, he accepted a scholarship-financed doctoral position at the University of Gothenburg in 1999 . After the defense (disputation, December 2004) his dissertation on the practice of organ mood in northern Germany in the 17th and 18th centuries and their relationship to contemporary music practice , he was in January 2005 to Dr. phil. (Swedish fil dr ) is doing his doctorate . 1999-2016 Ortgies worked as a researcher at the former organ research institute GOArt (University of Gothenburg, 1995-2016). From 2014–2017 he also worked in his own company as a researcher, research service provider and specialist translator.

research

Engler organ (1732–1736), monastery church of the Assumption of Mary , Krzeszów [Ger. Grüssau], Poland.

Ortgies' focus is on

North German Baroque Organ (2000), Örgryte nya kyrka ( New Church in the Örgryte district), Gothenburg.
  • Piano construction before the middle of the 19th century, with a focus on northern Germany (especially Lübeck).

At the beginning of the 1990s, the focus was on research on Matthias Weckman (biography and manuscripts). Through the project of a mid-tone organ with subsemitonies, which Ortgies operated as a co-initiator and expert in Bremen, he began to look deeply into the question of historical moods and temperatures. Today Ortgies is considered to be one of the "leading experts" in this field and, among other things, with regard to temperature control practice around Johann Sebastian Bach . His research into the tuning of the organs, on which Dieterich Buxtehude worked in the Marienkirche in Lübeck, had an impact on the chronology of Buxtehude's organ compositions. In addition, intensive archive studies enabled him to largely reconstruct the state of the great organ in the Marienkirche in Lübeck in Buxtehude's time. In 2016, Ortgies was able to identify several unknown organs of Arp Schnitger by examining historical literature.

As an organ expert, Ortgies has advised on organ restoration and reconstruction of new organs, including:

Van der Putten organ (2002), Waller Church , Bremen- Walle

If the parents ' place of residence was different (here: north), the responsible residents' registration office was informed and the newborns with their first place of residence were registered there. These children, who were born in Hage, identify with each other and are therefore generally considered to be northerners, including Ortgies.
