Live and act
Johann Melchior Gletle worked in Augsburg from 1651, where he initially held the position of cathedral organist and from 1654 also that of cathedral music director.
He created a number of works of sacred music, including 36 motets , half a cappella and half with instrumental accompaniment, 36 solo motets with instrumental accompaniment, as well as masses , psalms and litanies. As far as secular compositions are concerned, the two books Latin and Teutsche Secular Musical Concerts are important, as they are important examples of the German Quodlibet in the 17th century. The Trumscheit ( trumpet violin ) is used a few times .
One of his 15 children from his marriage to Maria Katharina Streitlin was the Salzburg law professor Joseph Bernhard Gletle .
