---
German composer and organist. Son of Jacob Reiner (c.1560-1606), he
embarked on his musical journey with a trial appointment as organist at
the Archducal Chapel in Innsbruck on July 15, 1630. His talent was soon
recognized, securing him the position of second court organist and
choirmaster in 1631. A mere four years later, in 1635, he ascended to
the prestigious role of first court organist. In 1642, his life took a
personal turn as he married Maria Katharina Stadlmayr, daughter of his
predecessor. This familial connection further solidified his position
within the musical establishment. On July 1, 1648, he succeeded Johann
Stadlmayr as court Kapellmeister, a testament to his exceptional
abilities. Following the dissolution of the Archducal Chapel in 1665, he
was appointed Imperial Director of Music in Innsbruck, a position he
held until his demise. As a composer, his legacy is primarily composed
of sacred vocal works, which, while not extensively studied, are
believed to bear the stylistic influence of his mentor and
father-in-law, Johann Stadlmayr.
