Edmund (Johann Nepomuk) Angerer
(St Johann in Tyrol, 24 May 1740 - Fiecht, 7 August 1794)
Austrian composer. He was the son of the organist Stefan Angerer (1711-after 1777), who gave him his early musical instruction. As a boy he attended the Gymnasium of Hall in Tyrol; he was a chorister at the Königliches Damenstift there, which had an excellent Kapelle, 1754-7, and in 1759 studied composition with Vigilio Blasio Faitello. In 1758 Angerer entered the Benedictine abbey of Fiecht, then famous for its music. He was ordained priest in 1764, and was a choirmaster of the abbey and a music teacher at the abbey school until he fell ill in 1793. He had close links with the Cistercian abbey of Stams, which he visited several times, sometimes performing his own compositions there. Many of Angerer’s compositions were lost in fires at the Fiecht abbey, and few of those surviving in collections elsewhere are dated. In 1996 he was identified as the composer of the famous Kindersinfonie (‘Toy Symphony’), previously attributed variously to Joseph Haydn, Michael Haydn and Leopold Mozart. His works are melodious and attractive in style, and make use of tone-painting and material reminiscent of folksong, with such features as alphorn glissandos and unusual instruments such as the conch trumpet, goat horn and glockenspiel. Many of his settings of Mass Propers are set in a cantata manner, with free texts in German.
