He was one of the best known musicians of the Dutch Golden Age, working as a carillonist and carillon technician,
an organist, a recorder virtuoso, and a composer.
He also published this book of solo music for recorder.
Apparently he would entertain congregations at his church in Utrecht by playing such instruments.
The collection was dedicated to Constantijn Huygens, a distinguished figure in Dutch political life, and also a keen amateur musician. It is unlikely that Mr Huygens was unduly impressed by FLH, as he is on record as preferring the conventional instruments of the aristocracy (lute and viol), and also disapproving of sets of variations, which he thought were too prevalent in Holland. However, as he was a distant relative of van Eyck, he presumably had to make nice, or risk a family rift. For more than twenty years FLH has been available in a nice facsimile published by Saul B. Groen in Amsterdam. It is also the subject of an excellent and thorough study by Ruth van Baak Griffioen.
