German composer. He received early lessons from his father, who was an
innkeeper and musician in the Silesian Marian pilgrimage site Albendorf.
His school teacher, also a local cantor, noticed his musical talent and
trained him to play the organ. From 1838 to 1841 he attended the
Catholic school seminar in Breslau. There he came into contact with the
so-called Breslau School, founded by Joseph Ignaz Schnabel (1767-1831)
as a composer. Joseph Ignaz Schnabel's nephew Joseph Schnabel
(1809-1881), music director and cathedral music director, gave his pupil
the post of music director in the seminary thanks to his outstanding
musical skills and achievements. After completing the seminar, Reimann
worked for two years as an assistant teacher in Niederhannsdorf near
Glatz. In 1843 the Rengersdorf schoolmaster and cantor brought him to
his school. After the schoolmaster death in 1852, Reimann took on the
dual role of headmaster and cantor. While he had already composed
smaller church music works since his time in Wroclaw, a fruitful
creative period began as a Rengersdorf cantor. In 1884 Reimann suffered a
stroke that partially paralyzed his right arm. He applied for his
retirement, which was granted on July 1, 1885. Three days later, he
suffered a second stroke that resulted in death two weeks later. As a
composer, he wrote about 400 works, mainly sacred and all primarly for
his own use. Easy, but pleasing works with a sense for melodic for
choirs and orchestras, that are not able to perform difficult works.
This made his works in his time widely spread and they were loved bis
singers and directors. His son Henry Reimann (1850-1906) was also a
teacher and composer.
