Grete Zahn
* 05.04.1928 in Frankfurt am Main † 02.12.2018 in Frankfurt am Main
Grete Zahn was born on April 5, 1928 in Frankfurt am Main. She received her first piano lessons at the age of 8. A lot of house music was played at home. From 1940 she received lessons in recorder and organ playing.
After graduating from high school in 1946, she passed the C examination for part-time organists. From 1947 to 1951 Grete Zahn studied church music at the State University of Music in Frankfurt / M. with Prof. Helmut Walcha. She completed her studies with the A-exam for church musicians. From 1950 until her marriage in 1952 she worked as an organist and choir director. In the following years she first devoted herself to her family. She later gave organ, piano and recorder lessons and regularly took part in recorder seminars under well-known leaders (e.g. by Prof. Margret Vies and Manfred Harras). From 1979 to 1982 she took harpsichord lessons with Prof. Christel Pfeiffer and devoted herself to intensive studies of the performance practice of early music. About her goal as publisher of numerous editions for recorder, she said: "My main interest is to make valuable old music that has not yet been published accessible to the player, or to transfer already known music for recorder(s)." Grete Zahn died on December 2, 2018.

Alfred Zastrau
* 28.06.1906 in Golzow † 28.07.1981 in Berlin
Die Reifeprüfung bestand Zastrau 1924 in Berlin. Ein Studium der evangelischen Theologie schloss sich an, 1925 brach er das Studium aus, wie er in einem Lebenslauf schrieb, »grundsätzlichen Erwägungen« ab.
Von 1925 bis 1927 studierte er Musik und Musikwissenschaft in Berlin, dieses Studium brach er »aus wirtschaftlichen Gründen infolge des Todes der Mutter« ab, der Vater war im Ersten Weltkrieg gefallen.
Danach arbeitete Zastrau als Landarbeiter, Kanalisationsarbeiter, Siedlungshelfer, Bergwerksarbeiter, Kraftdroschkenfahrer, Hauslehrer, Redaktionsgehilfe, Privatsekretär usw.
1928 begann er erneut ein Studium, diesmal der Germanistik, Musikwissenschaft, Geschichte und Philosophie an den Universitäten Berlin und Königsberg. Von 1929 bis 1933 wurde er durch die Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes unterstützt, später erhielt er ein Darlehen vom Studentenwerk. 1935 promovierte er mit einer Arbeit über das Rolandslied zum Dr. phil.

1933/34 war Zastrau Mitarbeiter des Grenzland- und Volkstumswerkes Ostpreußen, später Landesamtsleiter des Bundes Deutscher Osten in Königsberg. Ab Mai 1935 arbeitete Zastrau als Gauvolkstumswart für Ostpreußen und Hauptabteilungsleiter der Nationalsozialistischen Kulturgemeinde in Ostpreußen. Ab März 1936 war er Mitarbeiter der Gaupropagandaleitung (Hauptstelle Kultur) in der Gauleitung Ostpreußen. 1937 siedelte er nach Zerwürfnissen mit NSDAP-Führern nach Göttingen über.
Obwohl er von einem Königsberger Professor für »politisch untragbar« erklärt wurde, erhielt Zastrau Beihilfen der DFG und des Wissenschaftsministeriums.

Nach Auseinandersetzungen mit Parteistellen in Göttingen kam Zastrau nach Halle und erhielt hier ein Stipendium der Hallischen Wissenschaftlichen Gesellschaft aus den Mitteln der Alfred-Rosenberg-Stiftung. Als »politisch untragbar« wurde er von einem Forschungsvorhaben des SS-Ahnenerbes ausgeschlossen. 1939 eingezogen, diente Zastrau zunächst als Kommandant eines Stabsquartiers. Später war er auf den Nordseeinseln Hörnum und Sylt eingesetzt und nahm an Feldzügen in Nordafrika und Sizilien teil.
Durch Einsprüche des Anglisten Hans Weyhe konnte sich Zastrau erst 1943 habilitieren. 1944 wurde er zum Dozenten für Sprachwissenschaften ernannt, jedoch nicht beurlaubt. 1945 verwundet, wurde er im Juni 1945 aus der Gefangenschaft entlassen.
Im Januar 1946 von der Universität Halle entlassen, erhielt er nach kurzer Tätigkeit als Lehrer 1951 einen Lehrauftrag für deutsche Sprach- und Literaturgeschichte an der PH Berlin-Lankwitz. 1954 wurde er Privatdozent an der TU Berlin und dort 1956 zum außerplanmäßigen Professor ernannt. 1961/62 war er Professor in Ankara.

Dromenon. Vom Ursprung des Singens und Sagens

Hans Zihlmann
* 12.08.1936
Hans Zihlmann’s life and activity so far have developed in three places: Marbach, Hitzkirch, Lucerne.
The son of a teacher, he was raised in Marbach. His contact with folk music began early; before he entered school, he was already accompanying the Ländler heard on the radio at the piano. He and his brothers were the youngest musicians in the Feldmusik, conducted by their father. After attending teachers’ training college in Hitzkirch (teacher’s degree in 1956), his first teaching posts were in his native town and in Kriens, where he was also active as organist and choir conductor. At the same time he attended the Academy for school and church music in Lucerne (main teachers: Johann Baptist Hilber and Albert Jenny) and the Lucerne Conservatoire (piano with Hubert Harry), as well as the Zurich Music Academy (school music). The last stage in his education (choirmaster and rhythm) was Munich, where he lived with his family from 1971 to 1973. Before that (since 1965), and again since 1973 he lived in Hitzkirch and taught music an the teachers’ training college. He follows the classes during their five-year training and prepares them for integral class music teaching; besides singing and music-making, this includes music listening, movement (dance) and the fundamentals of musical theory. This teaching activity has also produced corresponding writings. Since 1993/94 newly revised “Werkhefte Musik für dieVolksschule” have appeared regularly, in collaboration with Joseph Röösli and Bruno Linggi. These are pupil booklets which are supplemented with teachers’ commentaries and Compacts Discs. The music pedagogue further teaches conducting at the Academy for school and church music in Lucerne, and at the Conservatoire. Here, since 1974, he has set up the department for rhythmical education, where over two years teachers and infant class teachers can obtain a rhythm diploma. As teaching aid for this course they use the booklet “Rhytmische Erziehung”, published by him and Hermann Siegenthaler and used in all German speaking areas.
As a composer Hans Zihlmann writes commissioned works for choirs and wind bands (e. g. compulsory pieces for singing and music festivals), as well as sacred music and folk song settings. In his activity as choir conductor, sacred music has always been of paramount importance. Founded by him in 1974, the Singkreis Maihof is the church choir of the Lucerne Maihof parish and also gives yearly church concerts, learnt during a choir week usually spent abroad. Since 1988 he has directed the Städtischen Konzertverein, and three years later he became the Cathedral choirmaster, in the footsteps of his teachers Johann Baptist Hilber and Albert Jenny. The traditional Cathedral choir, with the Vokalensemble and the Chamber Orchestra, newly founded by him, are intended to preserve the function of the Hofkirche as a centre of church music.
