Jaap van Benthem
Van Benthem became known for his studies on various Dutch composers from the fifteenth century. He had special interest in Josquin des Prez (1450-1521). He wrote numerous articles about the composer and edited a number of volumes of the New Josquin Edition, in which all works by the fifteenth-century composer were published. He co-edited a new edition of the masses and motets by Johannes Ockeghem (1410-1497). In one of his last studies, Van Benthem was able to trace and perform works of composer Johannes Tourout, who was hardly known until then. Another specialty was the music of Dutch composers from the period 1880-1940, including co-writing a biography of Johan Wagenaar.
