Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562 - 1621)

Sweelinck was born in the Hanseatic town of Deventer in 1562, the son of a professional musician. It must be supposed that his son had his early musical training from his father and certainly his general education under the guidance of the Catholic Jacob Buyck, priest of the Oude Kerk (old church) until the changes of 1578. Later musical studies suggest that he may have been a pupil of Jan Willemszoon, later surnamed Lossy, in Haarlem. It seems probable that Sweelinck succeeded his father’s position as organist of the Oude Kerk in 1577, since an obituary tribute credits him with 44 years in a position that he certainly held until his death in 1621.
