Kapellmeister (Maestro di cappella)
Originariamente il direttore di tutti iservizi musicali religiosi, con funzioni d’insegnante, nelle chiese e nelle cattedrali. Dal XVII secolo fu così denominato anche il direttore della cappella di corte, destinata all’esecuzione di musiche profane oltre che sacre. A questa figura toccò in modo sempre più sistematico il compito di provvedere alla composizione di musiche per le varie ricorrenze e cerimonie, cui si aggiunse anche quello di direttore delle rappresentazioni operistiche.

Kapellmeister
The Kapellmeister is the director of music (= Italian: maestro di cappella; French: maître de chapelle) of a musical establishment, either of a king or prince, or of an opera-house or municipality. The term Kapellmeistermusik has a pejorative implication, suggesting music that is correct but uninspired, a criticism widely if inaccurately applied to a number of 19th century composers now subject to re-evaluation.

: indeed: a choirmaster would not normally compose, only conduct. See Vivaldi/Bach et al

: choirmaster (all one one) is "maestro del coro" - the conductor not the composer
