Aemilian (Joseph) Rosengart

(Kirchheim, 29 March 1757 - Tannheim, 29 May 1810)

German theologian, philosopher and composer. He was educated at the Benedictine seminary in Ulm where he was ordained a priest in 1781. Shortly afterwards he moved to the Benedictine abbey of Ochsenhausen where he devoted himself to teaching theology and philosophy. In 1795 the abbot Romuald Weltin promoted him as a musical director in a position he held until 1803. A versatile scholar and practitioner, in 1802 he contributed as a violinist to the performance of Joseph Haydn's The Creation in Biberach under the conduction of Justin Heinrich Knecht. During the period of secularization, he briefly served as deputy abbot starting in 1803, later concluding his career as a parish priest in Tannheim until his death. As a composer he wrote nearly one hundred works, mainly religious music and most of them for choir with instrumental accompaniment.
