Thomas Anton Albertini
(c.1660 - Olomouc, 3 October 1736)

German composer. Nothing is known of his early years. After 1690 he came to Olomouc from Vienna and entered the services of the Olomouc chapter. In 1691 he was appointed chapel master at the cathedral after Philipp Jakob Rittler death. In 1696 he married Magdalena Cecilie Zindel, daughter of the cathedral organist. Although his salary was raised from 100 to 300 florins by 1702, he complained throughout his life of the low pay and engaged in continual battles with the chapter, which refused to meet his demands and blamed him for the decline of music in the cathedral. In 1708 he requested special leave to perform his compositions before the Emperor Joseph I in Vienna; he overstayed his leave and the chapter gave him notice, which was revoked only after the emperor’s direct intervention. In spite of perpetually strained relations with the chapter he remained in his post until his death. As a composer, all that survive of his extensive works are two orchestral suites from the year 1694, dedicated to the Bishop Liechtenstein-Kastelcorn, a pastoral sonata for strings, a Mass and a Te Deum. He was probably related to the Ignaz Albertini who applied for a musical post in Olomouc as early as 1671. His son Reymund Albertini (1701-?) was a musician in the orchestra of Count Rottal in Holešov (c.1734-37) and later with Count Leopold Dietrichstein in Brno.
