Born in Vienna, Austria, on January 13, 1895, Schreiber first studied the piano at the age of eight. He attended the Humanistic High School, followed by Vienna University and the Vienna State Academy of Music, which culminated in a diploma for mastery of composing, conducting, piano and violoncello. Schreiber actively composed music throughout his life, beginning at the age of ten and continuing well into his late 80s.

During World War I, Schreiber served in the Austrian army, on the Italian front. After the war he married Lucy Erenreich, who died in 1968. In addition to working as a choir director and opera conductor, Schreiber taught composition, and in 1927 he became a Professor of Composition, Music Theory and Instrumentation at the Vienna Conservatory of Music. Conditions preceding the outbreak of World War II caused Schreiber and his wife to move to New York City in early 1939. They became naturalized U.S. citizens in 1945.
