Life and work

Helga Schauerte was born in Lennestadt.[1] She made her first public appearance at age ten. From age 13 she worked as organist in Lennestadt. She studied with Viktor Lukas in Cologne, graduating in music, pedagogy and philosophy, and studied music further in Paris with Marie-Claire Alain, completing with a Premier Prix.[2] She is the organist of the German church in Paris, Christuskirche. She played world premieres of music by Jean Langlais, with Miniature II dedicated to her.

Her career has been influenced by German and French music. She founded a Bach-organ-academy in Pontaumur (Auvergne, France) in 2006. She wrote the first book in German on Jehan Alain's music,[1] and acquired some forty of this composer's musical autographs. She has taught at the Conservatoire Nadia et Lili Boulanger in Paris.[1] She is also lecturer and jury member for international organ competitions.

She has been engaged by Bärenreiter to contribute to the new edition of Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart (MGG),[1] to write on French organ music subjects in the Handbuch Orgelmusik,[1] and to publish scholarly critical editions of the complete organ works of Léon Boëllmann, Théodore Dubois, Louis Vierne and Jehan Alain as well as of vocal music of Marc-Antoine Charpentier.[1] She has also composed French Noël and German carol settings for other instruments and organ published by Merseburger Verlag [de].[1]

In 1987 she was awarded the cultural prize of Olpe, Germany. She was awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany and received the distinction of Chevalier in the Order of Arts and Letters from the French Cultural Minister.[2]
