Josef Gabriel Rheinberger established himself as Munich's foremost pedagogue and composer in the late nineteenth century. Acclaimed initially for his ability as an organist, Rheinberger later achieved popular success as a composer of orchestral music and choral music, and attained appointments as a professor at the Munich Conservatory and as Hofkapellmeister for Ludwig II of Bavaria. During his life, a nineteenth-century Palestrina style emerged throughout Germany, and eventually manifested itself in the Catholic south as a reform movement for the purification of sacred music. This resulted in the foundation of the Allegemeine Cäcilien-Verein (General Cecilian Society) by Franz Xavier Witt in 1869. The Cecilian movement promoted the supremacy of plainchant and the use of a cappella music appropriate for liturgy. This study explores the relationship between Rheinberger and the Regensburg Cecilian movement by examining the following aspects: 1) the history of the nineteenth-century German Palestrina revival and the discovery of a Palestrina style; 2) Rheinberger's life, musical training and influences, as well as his professional activities and successes; 3) Rheinberger's compositional style as represented in his four a cappella masses for mixed choir; and 4) the musical writings of Rheinberger's friend and mentor, Karl Emil von Schafhäutl. Appendices are included listing the sacred works Rheinberger programmed for liturgical use as Hofkapellmeister.
