German organist and composer. In 1795 he moved to the Jesuit Gymnasium
in Munich where he was a student of Joseph Schlett. From 1801 he studied
theology at the university of Landshut and one year later he settled in
Italy to study with Giovanni Simone Mayr in Bergamo. After further
training in Vicenza (1803-11), Venice, and Milan, he served as second
'maestro di cappella' to the viceroy of Milan. Upon his return to
Munich, he was made 'maestro al cembalo' of the Italian Opera in 1819.
In 1823 he became assistant of the Kapellmeister at the Royal National
Theater, and in 1826 Bavarian court Kapellmeister. In 1833 he was sent
by the Crown Prince Maximilian to Italy to collect old church music.
Together with Michael Hauber, the prebend of St Kajetan, and Caspar Ett,
he was influential in the revival of church music. He retired in 1864.
As a composer, he was very prolific. His output include two operas,
including 'Rodrigo und Chimene' (1821), 3 ballets, 43 Latin masses, 8
German masses, 8 Requiems, 130 secular songs, and over than 300 small
sacred pieces. He also left few instrumental works. Aiblinger’s early
large-scale masses with instrumental accompaniment show the influence of
Italian opera. From 1825 to 1833 he developed a transitional style with
frequent a cappella sections and more colla parte instrumentation. From
1830 he composed more smaller-scale works and the orchestral masses
were replaced by Landmessen.
