Andreas Hofer (composer)

Andreas Hofer (composer)

Andreas Hofer (Reichenhall, 1629 - Salzburg, 1684) was an Austrian composer. He was a contemporary of Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber, and like him, Hofer was noted for his large scaled polychoral sacred works. It has been suggested that Hofer was the possible composer of the famous Missa Salisburgensis à 53 voci, although it is now generally accepted that this was the work of Biber. Hofer's compositions contain significant roles for instruments like the cornetto, trombone or sackbut and trumpet.

Little of Hofer's music has been performed or recorded in recent times.
