Heinrich Sievers (20 August 1908 – 17 September 1999) was a German musicologist, music critic, university lecturer,[1] and conductor.
[2] He was regarded as an authority on the history of music in Hanover and Lower Saxony,[3] and wrote music-historical monographs in English and Finnish publications.
[5] From 1932, Sievers continued his studies in Cologne, completing his Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1935 at the University of Cologne with his musicological research entitled 'the Latin liturgical Easter plays of the collegiate church of St. Blaise in Brunswick' (German: Die lateinischen liturgischen Osterspiele der Stiftskirche St. Blasien zu Braunschweig).
In addition, he again worked as a critic in magazines and daily newspapers such as the Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung.
His two volumes of the Hanoverian Music History (Hannoversche Musikgeschichte) published in 1979 and 1984 are a standard work.
