Swiss composer and organist. Almost nothing is known about his life. In
1651 he was appointed organist of Augsburg Cathedral and from 1654,
Kapellmeister at the same Cathedral. He held both positions until his
death. After 1670 his poor health greatly restricted his activities. As a
composer, 219 compositions are extant. All the sacred music is in the
Italian-influenced concertato style common to Austria, southern Germany
and Switzerland in the 17th century. In both the secular and sacred
works the melodies are songlike, revealing both Italian and folk
influences. His son Johann Baptist Gletle (1652-1699) was also organist
and composer.
