Born in Saverne and a pupil of Johann Caspar Kerll in Munich, Murschhauser became organist of the Frauenkirche, now Munich Cathedral, in 1691, a post he held until his death. His two collections for liturgical organ, Octi-tonium novum organicum (1696) and Prototypon longo-breve organicum (1703 and 1707), continue the South German school.
