Wolfgang Schmeltzl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wolfgang Schmeltzl (c. 1505 – 1564) was a German teacher, writer and composer, and Roman Catholic clergyman.
Schmeltzl was born about 1505 in Kemnath in the Upper Palatinate in Germany, and studied at the University of Vienna from 1523. In the 1530s he was a cantor at Kastl Abbey and afterwards in Weiden in der Oberpfalz. During the 1540s he was a teacher at the Scottish Abbey in Vienna. It is thought he was ordained in the early 1550s; in 1556 he became pastor of St Lorenz am Steinfeld in Lower Austria, where he died in 1564. [1][2][3]
