Matthias van den Gheyn (Composer)
Born: 7th April 1721, Tienen, Belgium
Died: 22nd June 1785, Leuven, Belgium
Nationality: Flemish
Matthias van den Gheyn was a Flemish composer from the Baroque/Classical transition period. He is a descendant of the famous bell founding family of the same name. During his life, Van den Gheyn was considered an outstanding virtuoso of the carillon and organ. He is most famous for his eleven preludes for carillon, which have become standard repertoire among carillonists worldwide since the early 1900s. His spot in history was earned in large part due to the tireless research of his biographer Xavier-Victor-Fidèle van Elewyck, a law and music scholar who considered Van den Gheyn to be the greatest musician of the Southern Netherlands in the 18th century.
