Pieter Cornet

(c.1575-1633)


Pieter Cornet was born in Brabant about 1575 and died in Brussels in 1633. His main position was that of organist at the court of the Archduke Albrecht and Isabella, although he is known principally as a composer of Catholic church music. His works radiate great intellectual power with their compression of musical ideas and manifestation of technical advances.
