Joachim van den Hove

(1567 – 1620)

WikiPedia: Joachim van den Hove (1567 – 1620) was a Flemish/Dutch composer and a lutenist. He composed works for lute solo and for lute and voice. Moreover, he wrote many arrangements for lute of Italian, French, and English vocal and instrumental music, and of Flemish/Dutch folk music. Van den Hove disputes with Adriaensen and Vallet the distinction of being the most important representative of 17th century Dutch lute music.

Published collections of his works are:

  • Florida, sive cantiones (Utrecht, 1601)
  • Delitiae Musicae (Utrecht, 1612)
  • Praeludia testudinis (Leiden, 1616)
