(Josef Joachim) Albericus (Alberico, Alberich) Hirschberger [Hirshperg, Hirsperger, Hyrschperger]
(Ried im Innkreis, 11 March 1709 - Schupfing bei Halsbach, 27 September 1745)

German priest and composer. In 1727 he entered the Cistercian abbey of Raitenhaslach in Upper Bavaria, where he was ordained a priest in 1734. In 1731 he settled at the Benedictine monasteries of Rott am Inn (1732-33) where he received music lessons. Few years later, he was appointed music director in Raitenhaslach in a post he held until 1743. As a composer, despite he wrote many works, he was mainly known by his collection 'Philomela Cisterciensis ex valle Bernardina Raitenhaslacensi in orbem evolans' (1743) which includes 6 masses, 1 Te Deum, 11 church sonatas (concertos), 1 pastorello as well as other minor sacred pieces. The masses included in that collection were highly praised and were reprinted several times. He was family-related to the organists Johann Amand Hirschberger (1678-1727), Anton Hirschberger (1700-1736) and Anton Claudius Hirschberger (1734-1810).
