Heiner Ruland (6 April 1934 – 25 March 2017) was a German composer and music therapist.

Life

[edit]

Born in Aachen, Ruland studied chemistry after a humanistic secondary school education, then school music with harpsichord as main subject with Fritz Neumeyer in Freiburg im Breisgau. From 1963–1974, he worked as a music teacher at the Waldorf School Benefeld, Lüneburg Heath.

Based on Kathleen Schlesinger's research and Rudolf Steiner's suggestions, intensive musical-anthroposophical research work developed alongside teaching, as laid down in Ein Weg zur Erweiterung des Tonerlebens : musikalische Tonkunde am Monochord[1] In the course of this musical-humanistic research, an extensive teaching and lecturing activity began. His work as a composer in an expanded tonal system became increasingly important. From 1976 to 2001, he continued to work full-time in the practice of Music therapy at the Öschelbronn Clinic, a hospital for internal diseases.[2]

Ruland died in Hamborn at the age of 82.[3]
