Heinrich Finck

Heinrich Finck (1444 or 1445 – 9 June 1527) was a German composer.[1] He served as Kapellmeister first for Prince Alexander of Lithuania, later King of Poland, before living Poland in 1510. He worked in Stuttgart before becoming a member (and months before his death, the Kapellmeister) the Hofkapell.[2][3]

He was the great-uncle of the music theorist and composer Hermann Finck (1527–1558).[4]
