---
German composer and theorist. Son of a farmer, he entered the
Benedictine Abbey of Irsee in 1701 where he was ordained priest in 1708.
Then he settled in Munich where he received music lessons from Giuseppe
Antonio Bernabei. In 1712 he returned to the abbey at Irsee as
kapellmeister, a post he held the rest of his life. There he was mainly
in charge of the church music for which he wrote a largely number of
masses, motets and other sacred works. In 1743 Lorenz Christoph Mizler
accepted him as member of the reputed Societät der Musikalischen
Wissenschaften in Leipzig, a society of music scholars and composers
including, among others, Johann Sebastian Bach, Telemann and Handel.
