Wilhelm Lindemann (composer)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilhelm Lindemann (born April 5, 1882 in Berlin , † December 8, 1941 there ) was a German singer and musician, lyricist and pop composer. He was also known under the pseudonym " Fritze Bollmann ".

His march under the cricket banner (1908, "March. (-Potpourri.) About waltz melodies of Joh. Strauss son ") quoted and a. his waltz Grillenbanner op. 247 (1861; waltz I b as the B part of the march) and the waltz Accelerations (1860; waltz III a in the A part of the trio). The head motif of the march is, however, not by Johann Strauss (son), but the waltz I a der Freudengrüße , op. 128 (1862), by Josef Strauss in 4/4 instead of 3/4 time. It is still part of the repertoire of many marching bands today. His Christmas hit The Santa Claus comes ( Eine Muh, eine Mäh ) , published in 1912, can still be found today on the Christmas albums of musicians such as Peter Alexander , Wolfgang Petry , Götz Alsmann or the Fischer Choirs . He composed operettas , of which Heinrich Heine's First Love (1917) achieved several hundred performances in Hamburg and Berlin and was made into a silent film in 1922 . His folk songs and mood music met the taste of the times in Berlin in the 1920s. His song Trink, Trink, Brüderlein trink from 1927 enjoys unbroken popularity.

Claire Waldoff recorded his songs on vinyl in 1930.
