Wormsb\u00e4cher, then just 24 years of age, not only managed to unify the choirs, but also influenced its musical development in a decisive way. This has manifested itself in many joint concerts in the Hamburger Musikhalle (Laeiszhalle Hamburg). Especially exciting were the debut performances (some for Hamburg), e.g. Messa per Rossini by Giuseppe Verdi and 12 other composers, or Messe solennelle by Hector Berlioz, which were both critically acclaimed by the German press.<\/p>\n<p>Hellmut Wormsb\u00e4cher was a lecturer of choir management at the &#8220;Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Chorverb\u00e4nde&#8221; in Schleswig-Holstein from 1958 to 1996 and taught 250 choirmasters in over 150 seminars. His musical achievements were honored with the Johannes-Brahms-Medal by Hamburg City, the Heinrich-Paulsen-Medal by the &#8220;S\u00e4ngerbund Schleswig-Holstein&#8221;, the Georg-Friedrich-H\u00e4ndel-Ring by the &#8220;Verband Deutscher Konzertch\u00f6re&#8221; as well as the &#8220;Bundesverdienstkreuz&#8221;, the Federal Cross of Merit.<\/p>\n<p>On 15 October 1995 the Hamburg Oratorio Choir gave a concert in honor of Hellmut Wormsb\u00e4cher\u2019s 70th birthday, together with his chamberchoir &#8220;Bergedorfer Kammerchor&#8221;. To the regret of all choir singers Wormsb\u00e4cher announced his retirement at the end of that year, handing over to Hans-Joachim Lustig after 40 very successful years. Two years later Thekla Jonathal took over. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hamburger-oratorienchor.de\/-content\/-images\/berlioz.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" \/><br \/>\nRehearsal 1977, Hector Berlioz: Te Deum<br \/>\nHamburger Symphoniker, Hamburger Oratorienchor<br \/>\nConductor: Hellmut Wormsb\u00e4cher<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Choir leader 1947 &#8211; 1995) With taking over the lead of the choirs in 1947 and 1950, a new era begann for all three choirs after the war.
