The Nebe Quartet was a German male vocal quartet .

history

It was founded by the German entertainment singer and bassist Carl Nebe . After various engagements in the provinces, the Nebe Quartet moved to Berlin in 1898. There, Nebe concluded contracts with various roller and record manufacturers. The quartet was one of the most successful in the early days of sound recording; between 1908 and 1911 alone, it took almost 250 pictures.

The quartet consisted of the first line-up

The later line-up of the quartet was:

While Nebe sang under his name for Deutsche Grammophon , he operated as Karl Rapp for Zonophon . At the Edison Society his name was Karl Hofmann. The quartet sang on brands other than the gramophone and its offshoots under the names Browier-Hamann-Nebe-Quartett (Lindström, Odeon), “Browier-Hamann, German men's quartet” (Homokord / Homocord), even as Hamann- Nebe Quartet (Artiphon / Hertie). It is not known whether these name changes also marked changes in the line-up. The statement that the group disbanded in 1914 is opposed to the fact that there were recordings with the “Nebe Quartet” even after the First World War up to the time of electrical recording technology after 1926, if one can believe the record labels.

repertoire

The Nebe Quartet performed German folk songs such as Silchers In a cool ground with the text of Glück, Ännchen von Tharau or Am Brunnen vor dem Tore as well as national songs such as Die Wacht am Rhein or Heil Dir im Siegerkranz , but they were also not shy about it the songs of the labor movement and sang the workers' march of Andorf, the socialist march by Carl Gramme or the popular Ein Sohn des Volk von Pfeil. Also student songs like mossier boy, I pull out of Methfessel or I praise the boy’s life took it up. In addition, the German art song from Franz Schubert's Am Meer to Beethoven's Hymn to the Night was on the program. Hymns, Christmas and church hymns like Great God we praise you , Now all thank God , the famous Dutch thanksgiving prayer ( We step to pray ), Mendelssohn's It is definitely in God's advice and Bortnianski's I pray to the power of love could not be missing either. Homeland songs and folk songs like Thomas Koschat's Abandoned bin i or Where the Alpine Roses Blossom , Zu Mantua in Gangs and Two Abandoned Italians by Peuschel touched the audience and were asked accordingly. The quartet even praised technical innovations such as the Zeppelin.

Remarks

In the article in the “Speech Machine” 1, 1905, No. 8, p. 142 it is written as Karl Nebe. The information about the founder is contradictory. While Leimbach assumes that Carl Nebe is identical with the chamber singer and bass-baritone of the same name , who was born on January 3, 1858 in Braunschweig and died on February 7, 1908 in Berlin, Kutsch / Riemens separate in their Great Singer Lexicon in the article Nebe, Carl (who initially deals with the court opera singer) the two expressly: Contrary to previous assumptions, there are probably no records at all by the bassist of the Berlin court opera Carl Nebe. All records or cylinders sung about under the name Carl Nebe come from the bass player of the same name, Carl Nebe (* 1868).

  6. ↑ While Gauß states that Nebe worked for the Zonophon Society under the stage name Karl Rapp, so Nebe and Rapp were one person, Leimbach names this name as Nebes' successor. A Karl Rapp continued to run the ensemble after Nebe's death until it was dissolved in 1914. According to Leimbach, Rapp and Nebe would have been two different people. The name Rapp does not appear anywhere else in the history of the quartet, while the names of other members of the quartet live on in the alternative names Browier-Hamann-Quartet and Hamann-Nebe-Quartet , as evidenced on the labels.
