Augustin Uhlig first arrived in Saxony on 17 June 1719 from Sonnenberg in Bohemia (‘ex monte Solis in Boemia’). After serving in Leipzig’s Jesuit chapel as sacristan and organist, he left in October 1722 to become organist to the Kapellknaben ensemble of Dresden’s Catholic court church. (See Stockigt, ‘‘The Organists of Leipzig’s Royal Catholic Chapel: 1719–1756’ in: Hudební věda 2–3/2016, 161–176). Although Uhlig was formally appointed to the Hofkapelle as a violinist in 1732, on at least two occasions he is recorded as playing organ with this royal ensemble. In 1733 he played organ for a Te Deum performance at the Erbhuldigung ceremony for Friedrich August II in Bautzen. See Stockigt and Jóhannes Ágústsson, ‘The visit of Members of the Dresden Hofkapelle to Bautzen: May 1733.’ Clavibus unitis 5 (2016): 1–12.

In 1739 Uhlig travelled to Hubertusburg to play organ with members of the Hofkapelle for the Kirchgang of Maria Josepha. See Stockigt, ‘ “After Six Weeks”: Music for the Churching Ceremonies of Maria Josepha, Electoral Princess of Saxony and Queen of Poland’, Identity and Locality in Early European Music, 1028-1740. Ed. Jason Stoessel, Ashgate, 2009, pp. 191–209.
It is likely that at some stage Uhlig was a composition student of Zelenka who, with Pisendel, was a witness to Uhlig’s marriage in 1737. A now-missing Salve Regina setting by ‘Ulich’ was listed by Zelenka into his Inventarium (40/10): Salve à Sopr. Solo. Violino e Traversa.
In the later ‘Catalogo della Musica di Chiesa ...’ (c1784) score and parts are listed for ‘Sub tuum praesidium No 1’ by Ulich (Uhlig: III/U/6/7). The scoring is given as: ‘à 4 voci co’ VVni. Oboi, Viola ed Org.’
