Emanuel Vogt was born in 1925 in Schwabach. He studied harmonium, piano, organ, trombone and harmony, and sang in a choir. He worked as a church organist and music teacher in Windsbach.
Two CDs of his Windsbacher Psalms were recorded by the Windsbacher Knabenchor (Windsbach Boys' Choir). He has also written motets for mixed choir and church music for trombone choir. A seven-movement work for winds, "Norwegische Intraden" depicts various landscapes in tone pictures.
