Info

Manfred Schneider was born on 3 May 1953 in Kestert, a village on the Rhine, situated in the neighbourhood of the famous Lorelei cliff. He studied the accordion, the organ and the French horn in Koblenz and belonged since 1972 to the military band stationed in that city, playing the horn and from 1986 also leading the Big Band. In 1981 he composed the overture "Festival in Silver" for the band's 25th anniversary and this composition was soon recorded and so Manfred Schneider was introduced into the national German band music scene. Since then more than a hundred compositions and arrangements of Manfred Schneider have been published by German Band Music Publishers and quite a lot have also been put on record. Many of his works are influenced by the Big Band style.

Manfred Schneider died on November 18, 2008 after a long and serious illness.
