Abraham van den Kerckhoven

1618 to 1701

Flemish Baroque

Core repertoire

From a Brussels family of musicians, Abraham van den Kerckhoven was titular organist of the church of St Catherine in Brussels from 1634 until his death, almost seventy years, while also serving at the court of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm, governor of the Netherlands, as chamber and then court organist. His music survives mainly in a manuscript copied in 1741 by J. I. J. Cocquiel, containing numerous versets as well as fantasias, fugues and preludes showing the influence of Peeter Cornet.
