Ernst Pepping (12 September 1901 – 1 February 1981) was a German composer known for his Protestant church music.

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tradition!

Perhaps it’s optimistic over-stepping

To write my birthday verses on Ernst Pepping!


The few who know him, know that he amassed

An oeuvre much invested in the past,

With counterpoint that has a modal cast,

Which might be heard as musical anemia

By those outside the Church and Academia.
