  • (Charles) Albert Riemenschneider (August 31, 1878 – July 20, 1950) was an American musician and Bach musicologist. Riemenschneider was born into a musical family. His father, Karl H. Riemenschneider, was the president of German Wallace College in Berea, Ohio (which later became Baldwin-Wallace (BW) College). While still a student at the college, he was offered the then vacant position of Director of the Music Department in 1898, a post he held until his retirement 50 years later. This department then became under his directorship the Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory of Music. In 1899 he graduated from the college and received its Alumni Merit Award; his wife Selma, née Marting, graduated in 1904, also with an Alumni Merit Award. In 1989 the Riemenschneider family, many of whom graduated from BW, received the college's inaugural Family Heritage Award. In 1932, Albert Riemenschneider and his wife founded the Baldwin-Wallace Bach Festival, the oldest collegiate Bach festival in America. It was modelled on the Bethlehem Bach Festival which was developed by Riemenschneider's friend, Dr. Frederick Wolle. From 1902 to 1903 he studied the piano under Hugo Reinhold and composition under Robert Fuchs in Vienna. In Paris in 1904 and 1905, he studied with Charles-Marie Widor and Alexandre Guilmant and became a friend of Marcel Dupré and Albert Schweitzer. The American composer Richard Ellsasser (1926–1972) was his pupil. Riemenschneider performed Bach's music in more than three hundred recitals and concerts in America and Europe. He received an honorary doctorate "D.mus." in 1944 (Grove: 1939) from the Sherwood Conservatory of Music and served as president on several educational and Methodist institutions. In 1947 he retired as director of the conservatorium, but returned later to serve as Acting President for one year. He was invited by the Library of Congress to hold a lecture on Bach in 1950, but it had to be presented posthumously. The most enduring publication of his scholarly works was his Bach — 371 Harmonized Chorales and 69 Chorale Melodies with Figured Bass, ed. Albert Riemenschneider, G. Schirmer, NY, 1941 (see also List of chorale harmonisations by Johann Sebastian Bach). Selma Riemenschneider continued the management of the Bach festival until 1954. In 1951 she donated Albert's collection of rare Bach manuscripts to Baldwin-Wallace College, founding a library which in 1969 became the Riemenschneider Bach Institute. Albert and Selma Riemenschneider had three children, Edwin, Paul, and Wilma. Albert died on July 20 1950 in Akron, Ohio, just a few days away from the 200th anniversary of Bach's death. (en)
  • Charles Albert Riemenschneider (* 31. August 1878 in Berea, Ohio; † 20. Juli 1950 in Akron, Ohio) war ein US-amerikanischer Musikpädagoge und Bachforscher. Der Sohn Karl H. Riemenschneiders, eines deutschen Auswanderers, der Professor für Alte Sprachen am German Wallace College (später ) war, erhielt seine erste musikalische Ausbildung von seinem Vater. 1897 wurde er Leiter des Musikdepartments dieses Colleges und unterrichtete Klavier, Orgel und Musiktheorie. 1902 studierte er in Wien Klavier und Komposition, auf weiteren Europareisen in Paris Orgel bei Alexandre Guilmant und Charles-Marie Widor. Zur gleichen Zeit begann er auch, seltene Ausgaben von Bach-Werken zu sammeln. 1913 entstand aus dem German Wallace College und der Baldwin University das Baldwin-Wallace College, und aus dem Musikdepartment wurde ein Konservatorium, dessen Leitung Riemenschneider bis 1947 innehatte. Ab 1927 bot er in den Sommermonaten Meisterkurse im Orgelspiel an, wobei er seinen Schülern eine Möglichkeit bot, bei Marcel Dupré in Paris unterricht zu nehmen. 1933 begründete er das Annual Baldwin-Wallace College Bach Festival. Im Mittelpunkt dieser Festivals stand stets im Wechsel eines der vier großen Chorwerke Johann Sebastian Bachs: die Johannes-Passion, die Matthäus-Passion, das Weihnachtsoratorium und die h-Moll-Messe. Riemenschneider veröffentlichte zwei Sammlungen mit Orgelwerken Bachs, The Liturgical Year und Liturgy for Organ sowie 371 Harmonized Chorales and 69 Chorale Melodies with Figured Bass by Johann Sebastian Bach. Daneben betrieb Riemenschneider eine Klavierschule in Cleveland und war dort Organist an der Euclid Avenue Baptist Church. Er war Mitglied der Music Teacher's National Association und der National Association of Schools of Music. Die Sherwood School of Music in Chicago zeichnete ihn mit einem Ehrendoktortitel aus. Seine Sammlung von Bachdrucken wurde nach seinem Tod der Grundstock der Bach Memorial Library des Riemenschneider Bach Institute. (de)
