Daniel Danielis

Daniel Danielis (Visé near Liège 1635- Vannes 1696) was a Belgian composer. He studied at Maastricht and was organist at Saint Lambert's Church.[1][2] Between 1661 and 1681 he served as Kapellmeister at the court of Mecklenburg-Güstrow. In 1684 he became maître de musique at Vannes Cathedral.[3]

Surviving works include 72 petits motets,[4] several of them preserved by composer and collector Sébastien de Brossard, another 12 in a collection by Philidor.[5] 54 of these motets are for 1 or 2 voices.[6] A full catalogue of his works was published by Catherine Cessac, of the CMBV, in 2003. [7]
