Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel. He rendered outstanding services to Heinrich Schütz and Lied
research.

Life

Birth and youth in Itzehoe

Born in

Lieutenant Colonel Max Hans August Gudewill (born in 1865) are handed down in the photo collection of the officers of the XIV Corps (German Empire) of the department Generallandesarchiv Karlsruhe [de] of the Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg [de].[2]

As the son of Major Curt Caspar Adolf Gudewill (1868-1914), who was a departmental commander of the field artillery regiment during the first month of World War I[3] and was wounded in the battle of Tienen in Belgium and died four days later,[4] and his wife Margaretha Louise Auguste (1875-1953), née Luther, 1911 in Itzehoe, Province of Schleswig-Holstein, he became the "Luther Side relatives" counted.[5]

Gudewill received his first musical and practical lessons and passed a state private music teacher examination in

Realgymnasium in his home town until the Abitur
1929

Study and Lectureship in National Socialism

From 1929 to 1935 Gudewill studied

Bärenreiter-Verlag
in Kassel.

In the same year he became a

Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel on the topic Die Formstrukturen der deutschen Liedtenores des 15. und 16. Jahrhunderts. (The Form Structures of German Lied Tenors of the 15th and 16th Century). Excerpts from his work were presented in the first volume (1948) of the journal Die Musikforschung under the title Zur Frage der Formstrukturen deutscher Liedtenores.[13] Even before the end of the war, in January 1945, he received a Privatdozent
(a lecture catalogue did not appear in the summer semester 1945 though).

Gudewill war member Nr. 166.492 of the

Institute for Study of the Jewish Question of 1940, Gudewill commented favourably in a review. After the war, he justified his entry into the SA by saying that it was necessary for his professional advancement. The musicologist Fred K. Prieberg (2009) questioned Gudewill's self-assessment and criticized his silence about re-entering the party.[16]

Professor at the University of Kiel after 1945

From the summer semester 1946 Gudewill was again listed as part of the Kiel teaching staff in the "Personal- und Vorlesungsverzeichnis".[17] In 1948/49 he was a scholarship holder of the British Council. Guest lecturer at the University of Birmingham in England. In 1952 he received an extraordinary professorship in Kiel while retaining his music lecturing position, and from 1960 to 1976 he was scientific counselor and Professor of musicology.[18] He supervised several doctoral projects (Wulf Konold,[19] Karl-Heinz Reinfandt, Bernd Sponheuer among others) and a music-making circle for early music. The main focus of his work was historical research on 17th century Lutheran church music, especially on the composers Heinrich Schütz and Melchior Franck, as well as on 16th century German Lied. Thus he had a significant part in the fact that the musical genre "tenor song" could assert itself as term techicus.[20]

In 1957 Gutewill reactivated the Arbeitskreis für Neue Musik,[21] which he led until 1991. In 1959 he was accepted into the student working groups of the Studentenwerk Schleswig-Holstein [de]. The working group continued the "Working Group for New Music" initiated by Hans Hoffmann in 1929, which saw itself as alternative to the absence of a local group of the International Society for New Music.[22] 2003/07 Friedrich Wedell at the Musicological Institute of the University of Kiel revived the network as Forum for Contemporary Music.[23]

Gudewill gave several lectures at the Schleswig-Holsteinische Universitäts-Gesellschaft, the support association of the University of Kiel.

Music journalist and Schütz researcher

Volumes of the New Schütz Edition

As a reviewer, he published from the 1940s onwards in Deutsche Musikkultur, in

Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (New Grove). Together with Blume he founded in 1956 the edition series Das Chorwerk [de].[26] After Blume's death in 1975 he took over the sole editorship of the series. In 1956 he was commissioned by the Neue Schützgesellschaft to become the editor of the Neue Schütz-Ausgabe (NSA; Heinrich Schütz: Neue Ausgabe sämtlicher Werke). In 1979 he was also significantly involved in the foundation of the Schütz-Jahrbuch [de].[27]

From 1956 he was vice president and from 1975 to 1988 he succeeded Karl Vötterle. President of the International Heinrich Schütz Society in Kassel. From 1968 to 1981 he was director of the Musikfreunde Kiel [de]

Family and estate

Gudewill, a Protestant, was married to a pianist and father of three daughters.[5] Alfred Zimmermann, professor of medicine in Kiel, was his father-in-law. His Nachlass can be found in the music collection of the Schleswig-Holsteinische Landesbibliothek [de] in Kiel.[28]

Gudewill died in Kiel at the age of 84.
