The reason for the lack of biographical details about Bustijn's life and music can be attributed to the loss of the greater part of the Middelburg archives in 1940. Family The historian Mattheus Smallegange (1624–1710) in his ''Beschryving van den Zeelandschen Adel'' wrote that Bustijn was a member of a family which came from Liège, Belgium even if there is not definitive proof that Pieter Bustijn was a descendant of this family. Duties Pieter Bustijn assumed the role of organist and carillonneur in 1681, at the Nieuwe Kerk of Middelburg, after ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
