Life

During the Weimar Republic, Karl Meinberg worked in Hanover as a music teacher at the Sophia School there . During the 8th Reichsmusikschulwoche held in Hanover from September 30 to October 5, 1929 , the organ suite composed by Meinberg, which the musician Julius Marr premiered in the Markuskirche, was considered to be outstanding among the numerous performances of sacred music . The Christian work contained the four sentences Oh that I had a thousand tongues as a prelude, the romance Shall I not sing my God , the hymn Praise the Lord and the fugue Now rejoice, dear Christ mine .

In 1931 Karl Meinberg created “a bitter unanimous melody” for Stefan Zweig's poem War and Peace .

Meinberg wrote an introductory article in the Hannoversche Tageblatt in 1929 about the hymn he conducted by Martin Luther She is dear to me, the valued maid in the setting by Michael Praetorius .

In 1931 Meinberg, together with Wilhelm Bein and Paul Dehne, published the collection of secular and sacred songs for mixed choir under the title Volksklänge .

In the German National Library there are in particular pieces that Meinberg had published from 1951 in Hanover at Hampe, for example as a choral score with texts by Hermann Löns , and from Adolf Hampe in Berlin , who in 1989 also - alongside the Budde music publishers as a publisher - Heinrich Heine's Loreley poem I don't know what it means with the music by Friedrich Silcher in the version by Karl Meinberg appeared.

The light cantata, composed in 1954 by Gertrud Köhler in honor of the inventor of the electric light bulb Heinrich Göbel from Springe , was set to music by Karl Meinberg as Opus 76.
