about
Franz Josef Aumann (24/02/1728 - 30/03/1797), an Austrian composer (born in Traismauer). He went to Vienna to study music where he also met important musicians of his time. Why at twenty-five years of age (in 1753) he came to establish himself at St. Florian has not yet been discovered. He must have had special talent because only two years later he became Regens Chori, one year before his ordination! He remained in the service of the monastery, from that time until his death in 1797. He composed new Requiems (there must have been 12 of them) for funeral ceremonies, in addition to masses for various occasions, many motets, litanies, offertories, and even oratorios.
