	Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562–October 16, 1621) was a Dutch composer, organist, and pedagogue whose work straddled the end of the Renaissance and beginning of the Baroque eras.
		Sweelinck was a master improviser, and acquired the informal title of the "Orpheus of Amsterdam." Over 70 keyboard works of his have survived, and many of them may be similar to the improvisations that residents of Amsterdam around 1600 were likely to have heard.
		Sweelinck wrote variations on John Dowland's internationally famous Lachrimae Pavan, and John Bull, the English keyboard composer, wrote a set of variations on a theme of Sweelinck, indicating the close connection between the different schools of composition across the English Channel.

		Au niveau du style, la musique de Sweelinck synthétise la richesse, la complexité et le sens de l'espace des Gabrieli, avec lesquels son sejour supposé à Venise l'auraient familiarisé, et l'utilisation de l'ornementation ainsi que l'intimité formelle propres à l'école des virginalistes anglais.
		Sweelinck a écrit des variations sur la très fameuse Paduanae Lachrimae de John Dowland ;; le compositeur anglais exilé sur le continent John Bull a composé des variations sur un thème de Sweelinck, et ceci montre les relations étroites qu'il y avait entre les foyers musicaux de part et d'autre de la Manche.
