Pierre de Manchicourt (Composer)

Born: c. 1510, Bethune, France

Died: 5th October 1564, Madrid, Spain

Nationality: French

Pierre de Manchicourt was a Renaissance composer of the Franco-Flemish School.

De Manchicourt was born at Béthune. Little is known of his early life other than that he was a choirboy at Arras in 1525; later in life he had a succession of posts in Arras, Tours and Tournai, before going to Spain to be master of the Flemish chapel (capilla flamenca) at the court of Philip II, where he stayed for the remainder of his life.

Similar to many composers of the early to mid 16th century, he predominantly wrote masses, motets and chansons.
