Heinrich Finck

Between 1492 and 1506 he was a musician in, and later possibly conductor of the court orchestra of successive kings of Poland at Warsaw.

He held the post of conductor at Stuttgart from 1510 until about 1514,[5] then was a composer at the Hofkapelle of Emperor Maximilian I,[citation needed] from 1519(?)

His works, mostly part songs and other vocal compositions, show great musical knowledge, and amongst the early masters of the German school he holds a high position.

[6] The library of Zwickau possesses a work containing a collection of fifty-five songs by Finck, printed about the middle of the 16th century.

[5] The German vocal ensemble group "Stimmwerck" has recorded a CD of vocal works by Finck, including his "Missa Dominicalis"; and the Josquin Capella another including his "Missa Ave Preclara".
