Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation search One of the two surviving portraits of Sweelinck, this one dates from 1606. It is usually attributed to Gerrit Pietersz, the composer's brother. Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (April or May, October 16 ) was a Dutch composer organist , and pedagogue whose work straddled the end of the Renaissance and beginning of the Baroque eras. He was among the first major keyboard composers of Europe and his work as a teacher helped establish the north German organ tradition

edit Life
Sweelinck was born in Deventer Netherlands , in April or May . He was the eldest son of organist Peter Swybbertszoon and Elske Jansdochter Sweeling, daughter of a surgeon. Soon after Sweelinck's birth the family moved to Amsterdam , where from about Swybbertszoon served as organist of the Oude Kerk (Sweelinck's paternal grandfather and uncle also were organists). Jan Pieterszoon must have received first lessons in music from his father. Unfortunately, the latter died in 1573. He subsequently received general education under Jacob Buyck, Catholic pastor of the Oude Kerk (these lessons stopped in 1578 after the Reformation of Amsterdam and the subsequent conversion to Calvinism Buyck chose to leave the city). Little is known about his music education after the death of his father; his music teachers may have included Jan Willemszoon Lossy, a little-known countertenor and shawm player at

Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck [Swelinck, Zwelinck, Sweeling, Sweelingh, Sweling, Swelingh]
Composer. The elder son of Peter Swybbertszdon and Elske Sweeling, he adopted his mother's family name. The assertion that he studied in Venice with Zarlino is not supported by surviving evidence. His only known teachers besides his father were Jacob Buyck, pastor at the Oude Kerk, Amsterdam, and Jan Willemszoon Lossy, a countertenor and shawm player at Haarlem, who taught him not organ but composition. By 1580, and possibly as early as 1577, he was organist at the Oude Kerk; his duties there were probably to provide an hour of music twice daily in the church. He became famous for his brilliant improvisations at the organ and harpsichord. From this time onward he left Amsterdam only to inspect new organs and advise on repairs and restorations. As a teacher Sweelinck was influential and sought after, and his pupils were among the most highly regarded musicians of the time; they included Peter Hasse Samuel and Gottfried Scheidt Paulus Siefert Ulrich Cernitz , Jacob Praetorius, and Heinrich Scheidemann , founders of the so-called north German organ school of the 17th century. Sweelinck's 254 vocal works, which were all printed, include thirty-three chansons, nineteen madrigals, thirty-nine motets (

Sweelinck was a Dutch organist, teacher, and composer: he is widely considered to be the greatest of Dutch composers. Sweelinck was born in Deventer, and later succeeded his father as organist at the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam, where his family were organists continuously for almost one hundred years. His compositions include both keyboard and sacred and secular choral music, though it is for his keyboard music that he is best known today. Sweelinck was extremely influential as a teacher, especially of German students (including Scheidemann, Scheidt, Praetorius and Hasse ) who would propagate his compositional techniques far into eastern Europe.
