Cleve, Johannes de
Cleve, Johannes de, German composer; b. Kleve, 1528 or 1529; d. Augsburg, July 14, 1582. He spent his early years in the Netherlands and then became a singer in the Vienna Hofkapelle of Emperor Ferdinand I in 1553. After the emperor’s death in 1564, the chapel was dissolved and Cleve was made Kapellmeister to the emperor’s son, Karl II of Styria, in Graz. In 1568 he resigned his position and went to Vienna. From 1579 he lived in Augsburg as a teacher. Cleve distinguished himself as a composer of sacred works, both Catholic (masses, 1559; motets, 1559, 1579–80) and Protestant (hymns, 1569–74).
