1His son, (2) JOHANN GEORG (b. 1650; d. Dec. 2, 1706), succeeded to his father's musical honours, and was made poet laureate by the Emperor Leopold I. His hymn tunes were once popular, but are not now in use. F. G.
3AHLSTROEM, OLOF (b. Aug. 14, 1756; d. Aug. 11, 1838), Swedish composer, organist at the church of St. Jakob, Stockholm, and court accompanist; composed sonatas for pianoforte (Stockholm, 1783 and 1786), cantatas and songs, and edited with Boman Walda svenska Folkdansar och Folkledar, a collection of Swedish popular airs. He was also editor for two years of a Swedish musical periodical, Musikalisk Tidsfördrift. M. C. C.
5AHNA, HEINRICH KARL HERMANN DE (b. Vienna, June 22, 1835; d. Berlin, Nov. 1, 1892), was trained as a violinist at Vienna by Mayseder.
7He also received instruction from Mildner in Prague, and was already at the age of twelve making public appearances in Vienna, London, etc. Two years later he received the appointment of Chamber Virtuoso to the Duke of Coburg-Gotha, but in 1851 he joined the Austrian army as a cadet, and remained a soldier until the close of the disastrous Italian campaign in 1859, when he returned to his musical studies. In due time he became a soloist of repute, and violinist in the much-frequented Trio Concerts given by him in conjunction with Barth the pianist and Hausmann the violoncellist; but he is chiefly known to fame as second violin in the JOACHIM QUARTET (q.v.), a position for which he was not only fitted by refinement of style, and musical knowledge, but also by his quite remarkable faculty of playing up to the leader. Amongst the posts held by him at Berlin were that of leader of the Royal orchestra and professor at the Hochschule under Joachim. His sister, ELEANORA (b. Vienna, Jan. 8, 1838; d. Berlin, May 10, 1865), was a dramatic singer of great promise, fulfilling mezzo-soprano rôles at the court opera. W. W. C.
9AIBLINGER, JOHANN CASPAR (b. Wasserburg, Bavaria, Feb. 23, 1779; d. May 6, 1867), a composer whose works were performed in the Catholic churches of South Germany.
11In 1803 he went to Italy, and studied eight years at Vicenza, after which he settled at Venice, where in conjunction with the Abate Gregorio Trentino he founded the 'Odeon' Institution for the practice of classical works. In 1819 he was recalled to his native country by the King, wrote two ballets, and was appointed Kapellmeister of the Italian Opera at Munich, until 1823, when he conducted the court music. In 1833, however, he returned to Italy, and resided at Bergamo, occupying himself in the collection of ancient classical music, which is now in the Staatsbibliothek at Munich. His whole efforts to the end of his life were directed to the performance of classical vocal music in the Allerheiligenkapelle at Munich, erected in 1826. His single attempt at dramatic composition was an opera, 'Rodrigo e Chimene,' 1821, which was not successful. In church music, however, he was more successful; his compositions in this department consist of masses, requiems, graduals, litanies and psalms, with accompaniments for orchestra and organ, published at Munich, Augsburg and Paris (Schott).

13AICH, ARNST VON, book- and music-printer at Cologne, published c. 1519 the well-known book of 75 songs in 4 parts. A complete copy is in the Basle Library.
15AICH, GOTTFRIED, canon and subprior of the monastery at Weissenau, published 'Fructus ecclesiastici, a 3, 4, 5 voc. 2 vel 3 instr. cum 2 choro,' Augsburg, 1663; also 5 motets and 3 masses.
17AICHINGER, GREGOR (b. circa 1565; d. Jan. 21, 1628), took holy orders, and in 1584 entered the service of Freiherr Jacob Fugger at Augsburg as organist. In 1599 he paid a visit of two years to Rome to perfect himself in music. In the preface to his 'Sacræ Cantiones' (Venice, 1590), he praises the music of Gabrieli; and his works, both in this collection and in that of 1603, also betray the influence of the Venetian school. They are among the best German music of that time, bearing marks of real genius; and are superior to those of his contemporary, the learned Gallus, or Handl. Amongst the most remarkable are:
19'Ubi est frater,' and 'Assumpta est Maria,' both for 3 voices, 'Adoramus' for 4; and 'Intonuit de coelo' for 6 voices, the last printed in the 'Florilegium Portense.' A Litany, a Stabat Mater, and various motets of his are printed in Proske's 'Musica divina'; and a motet for 6 voices in Commer's 'Musica sacra.'

23AÏDA, grand opera in 4 acts; libretto by Antonio Ghislanzoni, music by Verdi. Produced, Cairo, Dec. 24, 1871; Milan, Feb. 8, 1872; New York, Academy of Music, Nov. 26, 1873; Covent Garden, June 22, 1876. M.
25AIGUINO, FRATER ILLUMINATO BRESCIANO (b. near Brescia, c. 1520), a pupil of Pietro Aaron. He was born at the Castle degli Orzi Vecchi, near Brescia, and joined the religious Order of Seraphico d'Osservanza. On a portrait engraving of 1581 he is described as Capitano, so that he must have been a soldier at one time. He wrote 'La illuminata de tutti i tuoni di canto fermo,' etc., Venice 1562. A second edition appeared in 1581 in somewhat modified form. Mattheson in his Organistenprobe, p. 70, speaks of both works as 'illuminated jabber.' E. v. d. s.
27AIMON, PAMPHILE LÉOPOLD FRANÇOIS (b. L'Isle, near Avignon, Oct. 4, 1779; d. Paris, Feb. 2, 1866), violoncellist and composer. He conducted the orchestra of the theatre in Marseilles when only seventeen, that of the Gymnase Dramatique in Paris, 1821, and of the
