Composer
Hans Leo Hassler
Hans Leo Hassler (in German, Hans Leo Haßler) (baptized October 26, 1564 – d. June 8, 1612) was a German composer and organist of the late Renaissance and early Baroque eras, elder brother of the less-famous Jakob Hassler. He was born in Nuremberg and died in Frankfurt am Main.
Hans Leo Hassler, born in Nuremberg and baptized October 26, 1564, was the son of an organist, and received his first instruction in music from his father, Issak Hassler.[1] In 1584, Hassler became the first of many German composers of the time who went to Italy to continue their studies; he arrived in Venice during the peak of activity of the Venetian school, the composers who wrote in the resplendent polychoral style, which was soon to become popular outside of its native city. Hassler was already familiar with some of this music, as numerous prints had circulated in Germany due to the interest of Leonhard Lechner, who was associated with Orlandus Lassus in Munich.
