About Adam Steigleder
Adam Steigleder (born 19. February 1561 in Stuttgart; died 8. November 1633 in Stuttgart) was a German composer and organist. Adam Steigleder was the third child of Utz Steigleder (died 1581), court organist in Stuttgart. Steigleder studied with Simon Lohet between 1575 and 1578 and was able to continue his studies in Rome from 1580 to 1583 thanks to a scholarship from Duke Ludwig of Württemberg. In 1583, Steigleder became organist of the Stiftskirche Stuttgart and received travel leave in 1586, which he may have used for further studies in Rome. In 1592, biographical information is available again: After his wedding in Stuttgart in June, he can be proven as an organist at the Michaelskirche Schwäbisch Hall from October. In 1595, after a successful audition, he finally became an organist at Ulm Cathedral. In 1625, he returned to Stuttgart. Adam Steigleder's only surviving compositions are a Passamezzo with three variations and a Toccata primi toni. A third work, a Fuga colorata handed down under his name, which is contained in Johann Woltz: Nova musices organicae Tabulatura (Basel, 1617), also survives in several manuscripts, where it is also attributed to Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli, which shows the Italian style of the piece. It shows remarkable similarities with Giovanni Gabrieli's "Canzon seconda" (Ch. 184) from "Canzoni per sonar a quattro". Adam Steigleder's son Johann Ulrich Steigleder was also a composer and organist, including at the Stiftskirche Stuttgart.
