from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jens Jürgen Rohwer (born July 6, 1914 in Neumünster ; † June 4, 1994 in Lübeck ) was a German composer , music teacher , musicologist and author .

family

He was a son of Charlotte and Klaus Johann Heinrich Rohwer. The family loved music and was interested in art; the father played the piano and cello.

Jens Jürgen Rohwer married Gabriele Carry Zimmermann (1918–1998), four years younger than him, on September 30, 1944 in Neumünster, with whom he had six children, three daughters and three sons, including Anna Wenka Rohwer (* 1945), who later became a social scientist university Professor Götz Raimund Rohwer (* 1947), who later became a violinist in the WDR - Symphony , Ludwig Friedemann Rohwer (* 1949), who later became minister, economist and university professor Claus Bernd Heinrich Rohwer (* 1951) and Catherine Charlotte Rohwer (* 1956).

Life

Jens Rohwer lived between 1930 and 1933 on the ground floor of the Arche residential building (5th window from the left) with a view of the botanical garden (teaching garden) of the Schule am Meer on Juist
Jens Rohwer (violin) in 1931 under the direction of Eduard Zuckmayer in the orchestra of the Schule am Meer on Juist (to the left of the conductor the fourth dark-haired string player)

Jens Jürgen Rohwer received violin lessons from the age of nine and soon afterwards piano lessons. He began to compose at an early age and at the age of eleven was allowed to play his own piano sonata to Fritz Stein, a university professor in Kiel at the time .

After attending elementary school and a secondary school in Neumünster, Rohwer was a scholarship holder from 1930 to 1933 at the reform educational rural education home, Schule am Meer, on the North Sea island of Juist, founded and directed by Martin Luserke . There Rohwer received musical instruction from the composer and concert pianist Eduard Zuckmayer and the violinist Kurt Sydow, who was trained by Josef Wolfsthal , and as a classmate met the later composer Felicitas Kukuck . In retrospect, Rohwer described his multi-talented teacher Luserke as an outstanding Bach pianist. His strongly musically oriented country school home, through which Rohwer came into everyday contact with the youth movement and the resulting youth music movement , attributed Rohwer to having shaped him the most during his youth.

After graduating from high school, which he passed with distinction in March 1933 in the Loog on Juist, he began to study economics , with which, against the background of his family's factories, he combined the romantic goal of developing new musical and cultural ideas in large industrial and commercial enterprises to integrate.

His first composition, the Singspiel "Little Klaus and the Big Klaus", was published in 1933 by Voggenreiter-Verlag in Potsdam, which he got through Luserke. This and other publishers ( Bärenreiter , Kallmeyer -> Möseler ), some of which Luserkes and Rohwer's works were published, were part of the youth movement. They subsequently gained significant influence on the Bündische Jugend and their mentality during the end of the German Empire and, above all, during the Weimar Republic, and during the Nazi era on the Bund Deutscher Mädel (BDM) and the Hitlerjugend (HJ), both of them deliberately absorbed the covenant rituals and traditions, and also on the post-war youth of the Federal Republic of Germany in the 1950s and 1960s.

Rohwer studied in 1934/35 with Georg Götsch in the Musikheim Frankfurt an der Oder
From 1936 onwards, Rohwer studied school music with Paul Hindemith and Heinrich Spitta at the Hochschule für Musik in Berlin
After being seriously wounded in the war, Rohwer continued his musicological studies at the University of Posen until the winter semester of 1944/45

After a quick change of subject, Rohwer studied in 1934/35 with Georg Götsch , who advocated education as a "musical man", in the Musikheim in Frankfurt an der Oder, founded in 1928 , where he met Kurt Sydow again, who moved from the spring of 1934 to Juist closed school by the sea had moved there. Rohwer then studied school music with Paul Hindemith and Heinrich Spitta at the University of Music in Berlin .

Despite the fact that he was involved in the NS Student Union and the NS Lecturer Union and had set music for everyday use in line with the regime, the Rosenberg office banned his oratorio And there was God's name because of the clearly evident Christian reference .

After his state examination , he was called up for military service in 1938 and was seriously wounded during the Barbarossa operation in the Soviet Union after the start of the war in 1941 . During his convalescence he came into contact with Fritz Jöde , the key figure in the youth music movement before 1933, a music teacher of the wandering bird . During this time Rohwer composed and published thirty songs for piano with self-written poems based on a story by Adalbert Stifter .

Due to his severe wound no longer fit for use in the war (kv), he was assigned to the Gaumusikschule in Posen , where he taught between 1943 and 1945 under director Georg Blumensaat (1901-1945) alongside colleagues like Walter Sewigh (1878-1952) and at the same time continued his musicological studies at the University of Posen .

In 1944 he composed and wrote, among other things, the ideology-free song, which turned a blind eye to the reality of the war of extermination that was taking place at the time, “Who only has a long day ...” In it he promised a “lively, truly happy crowd” a journey to the “Fountain of Youth”, “ as long as the world does not fall into pieces ”, although the prevailing conditions in Posen could not have remained hidden from him.

“This aversion to the world of the text, as if one of the most terrible wars was not taking place on its doorstep, is almost unimaginable. [...] Anyone who deals with Rohwer's life, the discussion about him and his writings, gets to know him as a serious, sometimes naive, but always honest person. "

- Prof. Dr. Helmut König , 2007

Before the advancing Red Army , he fled from the German-occupied Reichsgau Wartheland under very difficult conditions to his parents' house in Neumünster at the beginning of 1945 , especially since his war wound required treatment again.

Rohwer distanced himself from his compositions for Nazi songs in the post-war period and apologized explicitly. It was only after the end of the war that he recognized "the inhuman and criminal nature of National Socialism", and he became "painfully aware" of "... how close the alliance, organized, folk-minded youth movement was to National Socialism". Jens Rohwer was “still not to be classified as an opportunist in view of his political wrongdoing at a young age”.

In the immediate post-war period, his unanimous songs, especially from the collection “The Wish Song”, were distributed by Fritz Jöde , Gottfried Wolters and many other music teachers. This was undoubtedly due to the fact that Rohwer's song "Who only has a long day ..." was musically very catchy.

“… How here a metric three- meter is constantly in tension through superimposed four-meter meter and purely melodic linearity and elevates itself to a climax and then drives to a logical conclusion: that is truly skillful and shows Rohwer as a great melodist . If only he hadn't written any lyrics! "

- Prof. Dr. Helmut König , 2007

His musician canon "Fa la la la la la la la la la, musica" is characterized by happiness, the joy of music and singing: "Fa la la la la la la la la la, musica, musica, musica , fa la la la la la la la la la la, artium suprema est. Swinging a hundred times, hopped as if jumped, every note is a celebration. Fa la la la la la la la la la, musica, musica, musica, fa la la la la la la la la la la, artium suprema est. Lively, lively! Colorful counterpoint , but ah, the unity is there, the harmonia, the harmonia, the harmony , yes! ”(1st stanza , F major , at least three children's or female voices) This canon has in the German-speaking area, but also partly international, many pupils, students and adults.

From 1946 Rohwer worked for composition , composition and ear training at the Schleswig-Holstein State Music School in Lübeck , where he continued to teach as the Schleswig-Holstein Music Academy and North German Organ School after it was re-established in 1950 . He was director from 1955 to 1971.

Rohwer also worked at the Jugendhof Barsbüttel in the 1950s

Rohwer headed the “working weeks for new compositions” of the Barsbüttel youth court and was the founder of the Barsbüttel working group for new composition , in which after 1950 he brought together composers and music theorists from universities. The members of the circle included Wilhelm Keller , Manfred Kluge , Friedrich Neumann and others.

Rohwer, who was also popular with young people in the old Federal Republic of Germany, continued to represent the New Youth Song and defended his position in the mid-1950s in a radio dispute at Hessischer Rundfunk against Theodor W. Adorno . Rohwer made an effort to separate the values ​​of the youth movement that he regarded as positive, especially the youth music movement with its ideals of making music together by lay people, from the Nazi ideology of the national community . He also represented the promotion and maintenance of traditional and new folk songs.

Rohwer studied musicology at Friedrich Blume at the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel, where he was in 1958 with the thesis "The Sonanzfaktor in the sound system" doctorate . From 1972 to 1980 he taught as a professor at the Lübeck University of Music .

In the 1970s and 1980s he publicly advocated the goals of Amnesty International and, after 1967/68, dealt critically with the political and social developments.

"In fact, our state, especially since 1967 ( Apo ), has opposed all emerging efforts to social and economic-political changes with its hard NO, has labeled all socialist and anti-capitalist thinking that is stirring to the left of the SPD as hostile to the state, yes, as contrary to the constitution and thus one Year after year, a growing mass of young people, some of them highly gifted, who strived to become politically active, practically nullified such engagement, demonized, blocked, banned without discussion. "

- Prof. Dr. Jens Jürgen Rohwer, 1977

On February 20, 1993, Rohwer was made an honorary senator in recognition of his special services to the Lübeck University of Music.

On June 4, 1994, Rohwer died after a serious illness four weeks before he would turn 80. He is described as a person “who left no one indifferent, who was able to fascinate and musically inspire many, but who on the other hand was also offensive and polarized. Indifference and lukewarmness remained alien to him throughout his life ”.

Works (excerpt)

Rohwer's main scientific works include Tonal Instructions and Contributions to Composition Theory (1951), Latest Music. A Critical Report (1964) and The Harmonic Foundations of Music (1970).
