Langkutsch, Cristof (…-…). Musician; Singer

Innsbruck, Imperial chapel, 1519-1520. Listed as a chaplain in the household inventory made in January 1519, soon after the death of Maximilian I. He still appears in the next list, made in January 1520. As a consequence of the dissolution of the chapel he received a sum of 10 Gulden on 20 June 1520 to cover his expenses for moving back to Vienna.

Munich, Imperial chapel of Ferdinand I, 1527. Listed in the first inventory of the household of Ferdinand I, made on 1 January 1527 (Munich, Staatsarchiv [formerly Kreisarchiv] Faszikel H. L. Freising 317), as one of the five chaplains in Ferdinand’s Munich chapel; when the chapel was at Vienna, Langkutch’s position as one of the four statutory chaplains were fulfilled by Don Roderigo*. The new regulations governing the chapel stipulated that it should include “a first chaplain and besides him four chaplains who have good voices and can sing” (Ainen obristen Caplan vnnd sonst vier Caplen, die guet Stimb haben vnnd singen konnden). However, Langkutsch and Paulus Reisacher* both appear in the Vienna household under the rubric of Chorcaplän.
