Heinrich Isaac

Franco-Flemish composer Heinrich Isaac (1450-1517).
He is regarded as one of the most significant contemporaries of Josquin des Prez, and had an especially large influence on the subsequent development of music in Germany. He was first claimed for Germany by Glarean who dubbed him "Henricus Isaac Germanus" but in his will he calls himself "Ugonis de Flandria"; Milanese [Revista critica della literatura italiana June 1886] speculated that this 'Hugo' might be connected to 'Huygens' and discovered the name "Isaacke" in the town archives of Bruges.
