About Severin Schwaighofer
Severin Schwaighofer (c. 1640?–1700) was a Tyrolean organist and composer who spent his career at the Innsbruck court. Appointed court organist in 1660, he later became Hofkapellmeister (1676–1700), succeeding Giovanni Buonaventura Viviani and shaping the city’s musical life at a point when court ceremony and Jesuit theatre were tightly intertwined. Contemporary sources link him with music for numerous Innsbruck Jesuit dramas, while surviving traces of his keyboard style appear in the Tyrolean organ-manuscript tradition around 1700 (including short forms such as toccatas, fugas, and canzonas). His family also intersected with local convent music-making: his daughter Maria Juliana became a Servite nun in Innsbruck and was remembered as an accomplished singer, violinist, and organist.
