Ignaz Lachner was one of a family of German composers active
throughout Germany and Austria during the early 19th century.
Ignaz was born in Rain am Lech in 1807. He served as an
organist in Vienna at the Lutheran Church before becoming assistant
Kapellmeister of the Vienna Hofoper. He then moved to Stuttgart to
become court musical director and then moved on to Munich to take the
position of assistant Kapellmeister of the Hofoper in 1842. He served as
principal Kapellmeister of the Hamburg theatre and then accepted an
appointment as court Kapellmeister in Stockholm. He remained in Sweden
for only a few years and then moved to Frankfurt where he was chief
conductor until his retirement in 1875. He was a modestly prolific
composer and many of his works were quite successful during his
lifetime.
