---
Austrian monastic composer and teacher. In 1760 he was sent to Innsbruck
for his education, studying at the St. Nikolaus school and functioning
as a chorister at the university church. By 1768 he was a student at the
University of Innsbruck in philosophy, and in 1770 his Singspiel Das
alte deutsche Wörtlein tut was premiered. He entered the Cistercian
abbey at Stams the same year, becoming ordained as a priest in 1774. He
functioned as a teacher of violin at the abbey school, later being
appointed as regens chori in 1791. Although his music adheres to the
older stile antico, his instrumental works show awareness of the forms
and structures found in the mainstream cities of Austria. His
Singspiels, most in dialect, were particularly popular in the Tyrol; he
composed 11 of these. He also composed several small occasional
cantatas; six Masses; over 100 sacred works such as hymns, Psalms,
motets, sacred Lieder, and antiphons; an oratorio; 10 divertimentos
(partitas, cassations); a large serenade; a string quartet; a symphony;
and a series of sogetti in 1790 as exercises for the voice. He was,
undoubtedly, one of the most notable musical personalities of
18th-Century Tyrol.
