Life

The musical abilities of Karl Raimund Kristinus became evident at a young age. But also in Troppau , where he first attended secondary school and then the two-year preparatory course to become a teacher, he was noticed by his extraordinary musical talent. At the Benedictine Abbey School in Admont he was a music teacher and as such an employee of the brothers O. u. V. Berger (to whom he later dedicated liturgical compositions). In 1866/67 he was Regens Chori and Kapellmeister in Bludenz , then a teacher in Tulln (also in the local men's choir ). From 1870 Kristinus worked in Vienna, first as a school teacher , and from 1872 as a choir director with the “Vienna Men's Choir”. In 1879 he became choirmaster of the “Wiener Liedertafel”, in 1896 choir director in the Gumpendorfer parish church Zum hl. Aegidius ( Vienna VI. ). Among other things, he wrote a biography of WA Mozart . In 1904 Kristinus was torn from work by heart failure.
