German priest and composer. Very few details are known of his life. Son
of Mathias Pinzger (1691-1729), he came from a family of violin makers
and musicians. In 1728, he entered the Gymnasium in Salzburg, where ten
years later he composed the music for the Benedictine theater. There he
probably received music lessons from Matthias Sigismund Biechteler von
Greiffenthal and Johann Ernst Eberlin. In 1738 he was novice at the
Seeon Abbey, where in 1741 was ordained a priest. As a composer, he
published two collections of sacred music; 'Sacrificium laudis in voce'
(1747) and 'Laus dei jucunda et sonora' (1750). Additionally, he wrote a
piece entitled 'Musik f. die Münchener Fastenmeditationen' (c.1749).
His brothers Willibaldus Pinzger (1720-1761) and Johann Paul Pinzger
(1722-1772) were also musicians and priests, mainly active in Salzburg.
