Marcin Leopolita

Born: 1537, Lviv, Ukraine

Died: c. 1584

Nationality: Polish

Marcin Leopolita was one of the most eminent Polish composers of the sixteenth century. He attended the Kraków University (Collegium Maius) and may have studied under Sebastian z Felsztyna and/or Jan Jelen of Tuchola. By the age of 20 he was already a member of the royal music ensemble at the court of King Zygmunt August, apparently becoming court composer there in 1560.

Only a few compositions of Leopolita survive today. Four Latin motets (Cibavit eos, Mihi autem, Resurgente Christo and Spiritus Domini) are preserved only in organ tablature, and of these only Cibavit Eos can be restored with confidence to its original vocal form.
