Johann Stadlmayr
Johann Stadlmayr (* around 1575 in Bavaria, probably near Freising ; † July 12, 1648 in Innsbruck ) was a long-time court conductor and composer in the service of the Tyrolean sovereigns.
Life
Stadlmayr received a position in the court orchestra in Salzburg in 1603 , and in 1604 he was promoted to court conductor. In 1607 he was appointed court conductor under Archduke Maximilian III. appointed to the Innsbruck court. After the court orchestra was dissolved with the death of Maximilian in 1618, he lost his position and only gained a position as conductor again in 1624 under Archduke Leopold V , and from 1632 under his widow and successor Claudia de 'Medici . Abraham Megerle was one of his students .
His compositional work mainly includes ecclesiastical works such as masses , motets , odes , introits , Vespers , antiphons , psalms and magnificats . 21 of his works have been published by publishers in Augsburg, Munich, Passau, Vienna, Ravensburg, Antwerp and Innsbruck. His contemporary Michael Praetorius described him as an “ excellent contrapunctist and musician ”. In 2018, five masses ( Missae breves ) by Stadlmayr were published for the first time in the series Monuments of Music in Austria, based on the first print from 1641 and in their entirety in today's standard score and with a critical report.
A son of Johann Stadlmayr, Alfons I. Stadlmayr , was rector of the University of Salzburg from 1653–1673 and abbot of Weingarten Abbey from 1673–1683 and thus imperial prelate .
