Benedikt Anton Aufschnaiter (baptised 21 February 1665, Kitzbuhel – buried 24 January 1742, Passau) was an Austrian Baroque composer.

Contents

Aufschnaiter received much of his musical education in Vienna, where he lived for several years. Later he got a post at the band near to the emperor's court. On 16 January 1705, he was appointed Kapellmeister at the Passau court by Bishop-Cardinal Johann Philipp von Lamberg as a successor to Georg Muffat. Aufschnaiter died there in January 1742.

He was married twice and from the second marriage, he had a son.

Most of Aufschnaiter's 300 surviving works are sacred. In his Regulae Fundamentales Musurgiae, he named Giacomo Carissimi, Orlande de Lassus, Johann Kaspar Kerll and Adam Gumpelzhaimer as his idols.
