He received his first lessons as a choirboy and when he was 12 studied violin in the Baden court. In 1750 he entered the Benedictine monastery in Ettenheimmünster, where he met and studied with Johann Stamitz. He later joined him in Mannheim and received further lessons from Leopold Mozart. After completing theological studies, he was ordained priest in 1759 and later held many positions in the monastery, including those of choir director (1761-73) and prior (1781). As a composer, he mainly wrote sacred music, among them, the collections ’XXXII hymni vespertini’ (1764), ’XV offertoria’ (1766), ’Geistliche Arien’ (1769) and a Missa de nativitate. In his later years he was praised as one of the best violinists and church composers in the Upper Rhine valley.
