He was a pupil of several of the Mannheim court musicians before took over a post of violinist in the Electoral orchestra at the age of 10. He was given permanent employment there in 1776. He later studied with Abbe Vogler, then went with the court to Munich in 1778 and became director of the Court Orchestra. In 1787 he was named court Vice-Kapellmeister and in 1798 court Kapellmeister. In 1814 he received a title of nobility from the court for his long service. In Munich he brought out a number of operas, of which the most important were Helena und Paris (1782), Der Bettelstudent oder Das Donnerwetter (1785), Der Sturm (1798), Marie von Montalban (1800), and Colmal (1809). Frequent leaves of absence from Munich enabled him to travel; in Venice he produced his operas Catone in Utica (1791), I sacrifizi di Creta ossia Ariannae Teseo (1792), I Fratelli rivali (1793), and Belisa ossia La fedelita riconosciuta (1794). In Prague he produced the opera Ogus ossia Il trionfo del belsesso (1795). In Vienna he brought out Das unterbrochene Opferfest (1796; his most successful opera; produced all over Europe), Babylons Pyramiden (1797), and Das Labirint oder Der Kampfmit den Elementen (1798). In Paris he produced his only French opera, Tamerlan (1802), in London the Italian operas Lagrotta di Calipso (1803), II trionfo dell'amor fraterno (1804), Il ratto di Proserpina (1804), and Zaira (1805). In 1816 he embarked on a concert tour of northern Germany and Italy with his pupil Clara Metzger-Vespermann, later a celebrated singer, during the course of which he directed three of his operas in Milan in 1817 and 1818. His last opera for Munich was the Singspiel Der Sänger und der Schneider (1820), but he remained active until his last years as a composer of church music. As a composer, he also wrote several ballets, oratorios and sacred cantatas for the Munich court chapel, 28 masses and a vast amount of other church music, 4 symphones (including the grand choral sym. Die Schlacht, 1814), overtures, concertos and other concerted works, and much chamber music.
