Musik for Film and Television (6-CD) # DFK (Score CD) this 6-CD set with 246 tracks, a duration of 474 minutes and a detailed booklet, is limited to 500 copies: "For more than 20 years now, Enjott Schneider has shaped our film- and television scene in a unique way with his emotionally gripping and at the same time demanding compositions. It was time to unite as many of the resulting highlights in a full set. Alhambra Records accepted this challenging task and, with this 6-CD set, presents a detailed showcase full of variety and surprises: from his emphatic Second World War film scores (Stalingrad, March of Millions (Die Flucht), Nicht alle waren Mörder), the genre fairytale (King Thrushbeard, The Frog Prince, The Goose Girl), horror (Das Tal der Schatten), drama (Die andere Frau, Rosemary (Das Mädchen Rosemarie)), documentation (Munich '72, Felipe and Letizia - the tamed Princess (Die gezähmten Prinzessin), The great Dictators (Die Großen Diktatoren) to significant movies (Charlie and Louise, 23), as well as the theme music for the Zoo TV series Giraffe, Meerkats and Co. (Giraffe, Erdmännchen und Co.) : almost every genre is well-represented. Of particular appeal: this set is the first to document thematically Enjott Schneider's compositions for two films - both in Stalingrad (film of 1992, documentation of 2002. ), as well March of Millions (documentary film of 2003, ARD two-parter of 2007). This 6-CD set with more than 474 minutes of music also includes a comprehensive booklet of 40 pages with detailed descriptions and numerous illustrations. Set is limited to 500 copies"

ShareTHANK YOU 2012
2012 was such a momentous, creative year. To all those who have accompanied me, supported me and helped me with their work, I would like to say a big THANK YOU.
There has been two important changes in my life. Since March 2012, I have been chairman of the supervisory board of GEMA (which has become an absorbing, integral part of my life). Also, my professorship at the Munich Academy of Music that I have held since 1979, has ended prematurely in July 2012. Now there is ample time to compose and go on concert tours...

ShareNO FREEDOM WITHOUT COPYRIGHT!!!!
If the Green party, the Pirates and other flat rate apologists wish to curtail copyright and call into question the fundamental value of intellectual property, then the cornerstone of any democracy is broken away!!!
Currently, at Universal Copyright conferences of the CISAC, a positive liberal impetus is felt when young democracies (emerging from dictatorships or small banana republics), finally manage to establish copyright - an important cornerstone of the press and of freedom of expression - as a matter of state. On the other hand, this issue is also apparent in the history of copyright, where its development has always been tied to advancement and liberty (whether French Revolution or Declaration of Independence). Therefore, if "intellectual property" is called into question today, then it's not just composers' or GEMA's problems, but it indicates that we are falling back to feudal and dictatorial mental structures. Our freedom of expression is destroyed in the aggressive capitalistic regimentation of people through "Group" corporations, internationalized capital and profit maximization.
An indicator of the protection of intellectual property is the appropriate fee, and here, nightmare scenarios are evident. Composers are struggling, "under threat" as if in their final phase, and this is surely a much larger problem than the highly propagated Berlin club culture that is under threat: composers can hardly survive any longer on the "adequate compensation" they are getting - whether they invent pop, dance tracks, string quartets, operas or jazz pieces! The value of creativity must be rethought by our society - instead of screaming out loud for flat rates and "all you can eat".
ShareORBE ROTUNDO July 2012, Herkulessaal München
Enjott conducted Orff's CARMINA BURANA and the premiere of ORBE ROTUNDO (version for percussion) in the Herkulessaal München.
A highly successful event, featuring the Munich Motet Choir (led by Enjott Schneider), the soloists Judith Spiesser (soprano), Robert Sellier (tenor), Todd Boyce (baritone), the Stefan Blum percussion ensemble, and Bronwen Murrt-Berg/Martin Wiedenhofer (piano).
It was a brilliant culmination not only of 6 months of overexertion (composing nonstop, concerts in Taipei, Beijing, St. Gallen, Cologne, Regensburg / GEMA-chairman), but also of 39 years of teaching at a music university - since 1973 at the Freiburg Music Academy and then the Munich Academy of Music and Performing Arts until 2012).
THANK YOU TO ALL who accompanied me!
