Ernst Stieberitz - b: (Saxony-Anhalt ), May 31,1877 - d: Bohnsack (near Danzig, then Germany, now Gdańsk, Poland), March 27, 1945) he was a German composer, conductor and flautist .
He received his first music lessons at the music school in Camburg on the River Saale. His main instrument was the flute. He started his military career as a flautist on October 1, 1896 in the Military Chapel of the 8. Rheinisches Infantry-Regiment Nr. 70 in Saarbrücken. In 1899, he was moved, together with his conductor to the Military Chapel of the Infantry-Regiment Nr. 128 in Danzig (now Gdańsk). From October 1902 he studied at the Royal Music Academy in Berlin and received training as a Military Bandmaster (Music Meister). He graduated there on July 29, 1905.
On May 1, 1906, he was appointed conductor of the Military Chapel of the Infantry-Regiment Nr. 128 in Danzig (now: Gdańsk), making him the youngest conductor of a military band at the time.
After the First World War he returned to the position of conductor at the Military Chapel of Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 128 in Danzig. In the Prussian Army he was appointed to the rank of a major. Shortly afterwards, the city of Danzig was declared a Free City and all military troops, including the chapel of the Infantry-Regiment Nr. 128 had to get out of town. A police chapel with military structures was established in the Free City of Danzig. It became one of the leading German police chapels.
From 1920 to 1945 he was a conductor and Ober Musik Meister in the rank of a major at the Musikkorps der Polizei der Freistadt Danzig. One of the highlights of this time was a concert with vocal soloists from the Teatro alla Scala from Milan on June 20, 1936 in Sopot (then Zoppot), in which the band of the Danzig police took part.
He died during the bombing of Danzig by the Russian air force in 1945. As a composer he wrote many works for concert band, including over 60 marches.
In this week’s show we feature his march Grup aus Danzig (Greetings from Danzig) which is played by Besses O’ th’ Barn Band and conducted by Roy Newsome in 1983.
