| Added by magataganm, 03 Oct 2013 Franz Xaver Schnizer (also Schnitzer) (1740 - 1785) was a German composer and organist. Early on, he was a chorister in the Benedictine Abbey in Ottobeuren where he learned musical composition and was trained as an organist. After quitting the religious profession and priestly ordination in 1766, he became organist at the local pen until his death. He became responsible for spiritual duties for the position of choir director and music instructor. He died in 1785 in Ottobeuren. Schnizer created almost exclusively religious works. Mainly a Requiem, Magnificat, Vespers, and musical comedies. His compositional output is only fragmentarily preserved and today largely forgotten. His compositions have probably reached in his lifetime only to regional distribution. Some of his works are still unpublished. Although originally written for Flutes & Strings, I created this arrangement forWoodwind Quintet (Flutes(2), Oboe, Bb Clarinet & Bassoon). | |||
