Siegfried Reda

**Siegfried Reda** (1916–1968) was a German composer, organist, and influential figure in 20th-century sacred music. Known for blending traditional Lutheran hymnody with modern harmonies, Reda left his mark as a church musician and professor, serving at Essen’s Folkwang School and later directing music at Gladbeck’s Christuskirche. His compositions—ranging from organ works to choral pieces—reflect a deep engagement with Protestant traditions while embracing contemporary styles.

Recent releases like *Heinrich Schütz: Johannes-Passion / St John Passion* highlight his reverence for Baroque sacred works, while *Portrait* and *Reflections* showcase his own compositions and arrangements. Though Reda passed away in 1968, his legacy endures through recordings and performances that celebrate his fusion of devotion and innovation.
