Helmut Barbe (28 December 1927, Halle (Saale) – 18 April 2021, Berlin) was a German composer.[1]
Barbe studied at the Berlin School of Church Music [de] where he was taught by Gottfried Grote and Ernst Pepping. Between 1952 and 1975 he was the cantor at the church St. Nikolai [de] in Berlin's Spandau quarter. After this, he took a post as a professor at the Berlin University of the Arts in what was at that time West Berlin.
In 1956 Barbe premiered his musical Hallelujah, Billy[2] at the German Evangelical Church Assembly in Frankfurt am Main. This led commentators to identify him as a pioneer of contemporary worship music, in German Neues Geistliches Lied (NGL, literally: new spiritual song).[3]
