Fiebig composed in a style similar to Paul Hindemith, using modal harmonies and 20th century counterpoint in church music forms. Many of his major works include organ with choir and other instruments. It is nearly impossible to read the English translation of the article about Fiebig on Wikipedia, and there is no biography on Oxford Music Online.
