Matthäus (Matthias) (Karl Konrad) Fischer
(Ried, Swabia, bap. 28 November 1763 - Augsburg, 5 May 1840)

German composer, brother of Anton Fischer (1778-1808). The son of a village schoolmaster, he became a chorister at the Augustinian monastery of Heilig Kreuz in 1773. He was ordained priest in 1788, from 1784 being organist (and later choirmaster) of the foundation; he also reorganized and catalogued its library. In 1810 he moved to St George, Augsburg, as choirmaster, in 1820 returning to Heilig Kreuz and simultaneously holding an appointment at St Ulrich. His last appointment was as music director at St Moritz. A set of six masses was published as his op.1 at Augsburg in 1820; he also composed a number of Singspiels and occasional pieces for performance in the Jesuit College at Augsburg, and a quantity of other church music, some of which was much performed in Bavarian churches. #ClassicalMusic
