Augustin (Augustinus) Büx
(1702 - Bad Schussenried, 26 January 1751)

German composer. In 1721 he was accepted as a novice in the Premonstratensian Imperial abbey of Schussenried and became a professed monk in 1724. According to the annals of the abbey, father Agustin was considered to be an excellent musician. However, he was also notorious for his lack of discipline. In 1746 he was promoted to "regens chori" in Schussenried, a post he held until 1750. As a composer, his extant works are two keyboard "parthien" published in Augsburg and entitled 'Aes sonorum suavi et facili modulamine tinniens in cimbalo' (1746) and 'Adiaphoron musicum suavi et facili modulamine distrahens animum in cimbalis benesonantibus' (1746). He died 26th January 1751 in Bad Schussenried. #ClassicalMusic
