Dieter Schnebel was a German composer, theologian and musicologist. He composed orchestral music, chamber music, vocal music and stage works. Schnebel composed several cycles of works, sometimes over a long time. One of them was called Versuche, consisting of four works written 1953 to 1956. They concern serial techniques, exploring space by placing performers at separate positions. His religious music includes a cycle Für Stimmen (...missa est), consisting of four works written 1956 to 1969. They use the human voice and organ in experimental settings of prayers and biblical texts. A cycle Produktionsprozesse is a group of compositions related to "language and body" which concerns the physical sound production, with the performers utilizing speech and breathing organs in unusual ways. From 1976 until his retirement in 1995, Schnebel served as professor of experimental music at the Hochschule der Künste, Berlin.
