Ambrosius Reiner [Rainer]
(Altdorf, bap. 7 December 1604 - Innsbruck, 4 July 1672)

German composer and organist. Son of Jacob Reiner (c.1560-1606), he embarked on his musical journey with a trial appointment as organist at the Archducal Chapel in Innsbruck on July 15, 1630. His talent was soon recognized, securing him the position of second court organist and choirmaster in 1631. A mere four years later, in 1635, he ascended to the prestigious role of first court organist. In 1642, his life took a personal turn as he married Maria Katharina Stadlmayr, daughter of his predecessor. This familial connection further solidified his position within the musical establishment. On July 1, 1648, he succeeded Johann Stadlmayr as court Kapellmeister, a testament to his exceptional abilities. Following the dissolution of the Archducal Chapel in 1665, he was appointed Imperial Director of Music in Innsbruck, a position he held until his demise. As a composer, his legacy is primarily composed of sacred vocal works, which, while not extensively studied, are believed to bear the stylistic influence of his mentor and father-in-law, Johann Stadlmayr.
