Live and act

Friedrich Arnleitner was born on February 19, 1845 as the son of the teacher Matthäus Arnleitner, who worked in Hofkirchen im Traunkreis and later in Ebelsberg , and his wife Theresia (née Miedl) in the Upper Austrian community of Hofkirchen im Traunkreis and was subsequently baptized as a Roman Catholic . In his childhood he received violin and piano lessons from his father and was then from 1855 to 1859 the choirboy at St. Florian Monastery , where he also received violin and piano lessons and was a pupil of Anton Bruckner and soprano soloist . In the years from 1859 to 1861 he went to the secondary school in Linz, where he was awarded a prize for his outstanding achievements in singing and organ playing. He then attended the preparatory department in Linz from 1861 to 1863 before working as a sub-teacher in Altmünster in 1863/64 . He then worked as a sub-teacher in Enns in 1864 and then from 1864 to 1878 as a sub-teacher and later as a full-fledged teacher in Urfahr . Subsequently, he came to the boys' school on Spittelwiese in Linz and in 1880 passed his teaching examination for singing at secondary schools and teacher training institutions in Vienna . From 1892 he directed the Kronprinz Rudolf Girls' Elementary School in Baumbachstrasse in Linz and worked at this school until his death in 1903.

As early as 1873 the member of the Marian Congregation for Gentlemen was a teacher for piano and singing at the teacher training institute in Linz. In 1879 he switched to the Staatsgymnasium and the Staatsrealschule, with whose choirs he participated in school events and church services in the New Cathedral and in the Minorite Church , thus gaining public recognition. From 1889 he also taught singing at the girls' high school in Linz .

In 1865 Arnleitner became a member of the men's choir Kränzchen in Linz, which was founded in 1858, and also joined the song table Frohsinn . From 1869 to 1895 he was the second choir director, piano accompanist and vocal soloist at the latter. If the 1st choir master was vacant , he often represented him for a long time, continued the entire rehearsal process and directed numerous concerts. Furthermore, he tried to find the women's choir, which often appeared together with the men's choir as a mixed choir, but also alone. From 1891 the said women's choir was organized as the women's choir of the Liedertafel Frohsinn . With his help, Arnleitner led the choir to a generally appreciated level of performance. Three ladies from the choir Arnleitner formed an upper Quartet , with whom he performed frequently. From 1871 to 1875 Arnleitner was a piano teacher at the music school of the Society of Music Friends in Linz, from which today's Anton Bruckner Private University emerged . In 1873 he conducted their concert. Due to their folk character, Arnleitner's compositions were widely used, with the song O, do you still have a mother being one of his most famous works. A large number of his songs have been recorded in song books. In addition, the organist, who was friends with Bruckner after his school days, was hired several times to approve new or rebuilt organs. In 1893 Arnleitner was made an honorary member of the song table Frohsinn .

On the morning of October 9, 1903 Friedrich Arnleitner died from the effects of pleurisy at the age of 58 years in Linz. At the well-attended funeral on October 11, 1903, the mourners also included numerous public figures such as Governor Alfred Ebenhoch , various state committees, as well as state school inspectors, school boards and other personalities such as civil servants and teachers. Numerous clerics were also represented. The funeral procession to the church led his brother, Father Ambros Arnleitner , priest at Wilhering and pastor of Thera in Lower Austria , and the funeral procession from the church to the cemetery, his son, Julius, to.

family

Arnleitner was married to Rosalia (née Linzer) and had several children with her. Six children survived their father; including the daughter Marianne (* 1886; married Bauer), who was an alto soloist in the parish church and in the old cathedral in Linz. Furthermore, he had a daughter, Friederika, who belonged to the Ursulines , and a son, Julius, who was canon in St. Florian and at the time of his father's death a cooperator in Lasberg .
