Full biography Alexander Utendal

Alexander Utendal was a Flemish composer who lived from approximately 1540 to 1581. He is known mainly for his church music compositions, likely due to his position serving the Habsburgs as a choirboy from a young age. Utendal's works have been hailed by some as a "real discovery," with his compositions characterized by their intricate polyphonic structure. Some of his notable works include "Ad Dominum cum tribularer" and "Wie soll ein Herz," which have been performed by various vocal ensembles , including the Capella Sancti Michaelis and Currende Consort. Utendal was one of many Flemish composers who were active during the Renaissance, and his contributions to the genre have helped to shape the music of the era.
