Die Auferweckung Des Lazarus / Die Heilung Der Zehn Aussätzigen - Zwei Singspiele Zum Familiengottesdienst

Released in 1974 by the Ludwigsburg-based Tonstudio Bauer, this record features two Singspiele, or sung plays, written by Ulrich Gohl. These musical works were designed specifically for use in family-oriented church services, reflecting the post-conciliar movement in Germany that sought to make liturgical participation more accessible and engaging for children and families. The compositions are performed by the Jubal-Band, a group associated with Gohl’s efforts to integrate contemporary, folk-influenced musical arrangements into religious education and worship.

The record serves as a primary document of the pedagogical approach to Christian music in West Germany during the mid-1970s. Ulrich Gohl was a prominent figure in this space, focusing on didactic storytelling that combined biblical narrative with simple, repetitive melodic structures intended for group performance. By utilizing Tonstudio Bauer, which was a hub for local musicians and regional cultural projects at the time, the record maintains an intimate, grassroots aesthetic that prioritizes the clarity of the message over elaborate production values.
