Hendrik Franciscus Andriessen (17 September 1892 – 12 April 1981) was a Dutch composer and organist.
[1] He studied composition with Bernard Zweers and organ with Jean-Baptiste de Pauw [nl] at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.
During World War II, Andriessen refused to join the "Cultural House" (Kultuurkamer) and was thus barred from public functions by the Nazi occupiers.
He was held hostage in Kamp Sint-Michielsgestel by German occupiers from 13 July until 18 December 1942, when he was released.
Andriessen's works included eight masses, a setting of the Te Deum, four symphonies, variations for orchestra, lieder for voice and orchestra, chamber music, sonatas for cello and for piano, and works for solo organ.
