Full biography Ernst Pepping
Ernst Pepping was a German composer of classical music and an academic teacher , born on September 12, 1901, in Duisburg, Germany. He is known for his contributions to sacred music, writing a-cappella masses, motets, and chorals, and is regarded as one of the most important Protestant composers of the 20th century. Pepping began studying music at a young age and went on to study at the Berlin Music Academy. He eventually became a professor at the academy and taught there until his retirement.
Pepping's compositions are characterized by their use of melodic lines and intricate harmonies. He wrote mostly for choir and voice, and his works have been performed in churches and music festivals throughout the world. He also wrote symphonies and other instrumental works.
Pepping was active during the Nazi period in Germany, and some of his compositions have been criticized for their ties to the Nazi regime. However, he was not a member of the Nazi party and was not involved in any political activities.
Pepping passed away on February 1, 1981, in Berlin, Germany. He left behind a large body of work, and his contributions to sacred music have made him an important figure in the history of German music.
