Wetzlarer Studiochor – Wikipedia

The Wetzlar studio chor was a mixed choir of Christian music Evangelical character. He first went out of Margret Birkenfeld’s production activity in the book and record publisher Hermann Schulte as HSW Studiochor emphasized, according to the publisher’s change in 1980 in S+G Studiochor renamed and finally standardized as Wetzlar studio chor Described – especially in demarcation to the subsequent subsequent Schulte & Gerth Studiochor under the direction of Jochen Rieger.

The Wetzlar studio chor Formed in the 1960s from the choir work Margret Birkenfeld with the Wetzlar Evangelium choir, which was founded as a choir of the book and record publisher Hermann Schulte. With its growing range of activities – among other things, increased concert engagements – the choir director always gathered for individual studio projects for a significantly smaller vocal formation that initially unspecific and different on the records Little choir , Doppelquartett or Members of the Wetzlar Evangelium Schores was designated. In the further course, the designation established itself HSW Studiochor However, which served as a collective term of all nameless special choirs of different producers of the publisher (HSW was a acronym for: book and record publisher H ermann S chulte, IN Etzlar). Choirs under the direction of Klaus Heizmann or Siegfried Fietz, all of them, were also referred to as HSW studio chorus – all of the diverse selection of singers and their own style. In turn, the studio checks under the direction of Margret Birkenfeld are made up of well -known Christian interpreters such as Doris Loh, Ria Deppert, Martin Gerhard, Ulrich Brück or Wilfried Mann as well as selected singers from their non -project -dependent formations such as the Wetzlar Evangelium choir and later the Wetzlar youth choir. Due to the undifferentiated designation of the choir – among other things due to the change of the overarching house – the choir is now being retrospectively standardized and, based on the rest of the choir Margret Birkenfeld, Wetzlar studio chor designated. ^[first]

In his beginnings the Wetzlar studio chor initially involved in numerous publications of Christian artists – including the vocal duo Elsa & Ernst August Eicker ^[2] Or soloists like Doris Loh, Heinz Bösche, Heinz Gregin and Wilfried Mann – in appearance. In the 1970s he competed on occasional concept productions by Margret Birkenfeld like 1972 at the Christmas album Make the gates wide In addition to the Wetzlar children’s choir and the Wetzlar Evangelium choir, four of their own titles are already an independent interpreter. ^[3] In 1982 the choir published with Sings and plays Finally his first full -fledged concept album with guitar choir songs. In 1983 the choir’s most successful album followed under the title Star I look at . Expanded by six earlier recordings for the CD publication for the CD publication, the concept album with gospel songs is still one of the most popular music productions in the publisher par excellence and has been reissued in this version for decades. ^[4] Appeared in 1984 Wake up, my heart, and sing With morning and evening songs. In 1985 the choir published a second concept album with guitar choir songs under the title God will wear you ; also a second album with gospel songs under the title Closer, my God, to you . The Christmas album appeared in 1986 See, I will give you great joy . In the same year, Jochen Rieger took over the management of the music department in the Schulte & Gerth Rounded publisher and thus officially became the new head of the choir. The album was released under Margret Birkenfeld in 1987 What a friend is our Jesus and in 1989 in cooperation with the Wetzlar youth choir the farewell album of both choirs by their founder and long -time director under the title Who only lets God lets you .

Under Jochen Rieger, the choir changed primarily by fusion with the Wetzlar youth choir, which was also taken over by Margret Birkenfeld, to a much more youthful choir sound and, as Schulte & Gerth Studiochor, became one of the most important figures in the late youth choir movement.
