rightJacob Obrecht (also Hobrecht; 1457/8 - late July 1505) was a Flemish composer of masses, motets and songs. He was the most famous composer of masses in Europe of the late 15th century and was only eclipsed after his death by Josquin des Prez.

Life

What little is known of Obrecht's origins and early childhood comes mostly from his motet Mille quingentis.
