Synopsis

German composer, Catholic church musician, teacher, and organist

  • 1904 born in Bernkastel
  • 1926–30 studied at the Cologne Musikhochschule, where his organ teacher was Hans Bachem.
  • 1930–38 taught music theory at Rheinische Musikschule in Cologne.
  • 1938–45 cathedral organist in Trier.
  • 1940 became director of the Trier School of Music.
  • 1946 began teaching theory at the Cologne Musikhochschule, where he became a professor of choral conducting, counterpoint and composition in 1948.
  • 1947–62 director of Cologne’s Bach Society.
  • 1956–61 lecturer at the University of Cologne.
  • 1958–61 deputy director of the Cologne Musikhochschule.
  • 1984 died in Bad Orb.

Schroeder's main contributions were in the area of Catholic Church music, which he reformed and brought into the 20th century. He employed techniques from the Middle Ages such as fauxbourdon, modes, and Gregorian Chant, while using quintal and quartal harmonies in linear 20th-century polyphony. He has been compared to Paul Hindemith. He wrote many works for organ, and for organ in various chamber ensembles.
