Johann Stadlmayr (ca. 1570
Freising/Germany - 1648 Innsbruck/Tyrol) was the court chapelmaster of
Archduke Maximilian of Tyrol, who thought very highly of him. After the
Archduke's death, his court chapel was dissolved as was the custom in
those days. Stadlmayr stayed in Innsbruck however even though he only
received a small pension. He later decided to apply for the position of
chapelmaster at St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna. but the next
governor in Innsbruck, Archduke Leopold of Tyrol, offered him a larger
salary and extra rewards to stay there in his service. A large part of
Stalmayr's works was published. Most of them were destined for
ecclesiastical use and are typically polyphonic (he only used
homophonic elements late in his life) and pay great attention to the
treatment of the texts. The illustration shows the ''Capella nova'',
which served as the venue for the recording of ''Ave maris stella''
presented here. (E. Stadler)
