---
German composer and instrumentalist. He received his musical education
from Tobias Kriegsdorfer at the choir school of St Anna, Augsburg. He
received further lessons in “playing an instrument” from a local piper.
He was for many years a member of the Augsburg guild of Stadtpfeifer and
played at weddings and other festivities. Since 1673 he was appointed
instrumental teacher as well as wind and string player in the St Anna
choir school. In 1694 he became the second 'choir regent' under cantor
Georg Schmezer, and after Schmezer’s death in 1697 he applied
unsuccessfully to succeed him. From that year until his death in 1709 he
was 'choir regent' at the Barfüsserkirche. As a composer, he wrote both
sacred and instrumental music but he was mainly praised by his
instrumental works, among them, his collections 'Musikalischer
Gemüths-Ergötzungen erstes Werck … [56] Sonaten, Allemanden, Couranten,
Balletten, Sarabanden und Giquen, 2 vn, vle, bc' (1681) and 'Lieblicher
Frühlings-Anfang oder Musicalischer Sayten-Klang … [48] Praeludien,
Allemanden, Couranten, Ballo, Sarabanden, Arien und Giquen, 2 vn, va,
vle, bc' (1685).
