Singer / Composer
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.From 1613 until 1616 van den Hove travelled around France and Italy, after which he moved to The Hague, where in 1620 he went bankrupt and died.Works in manuscripts:
