ARCADELT, JAKOB. - Musician, b. in Flanders (1514?) pupil of Josquin des Prés. After a brief stay in Florence, he came to Rome (1536) where he was appointed master of the choirboys in the Julian Chapel at St. Peter's (1539) and, subsequently, papal chaplain singer and abbot camerlengo. In 1555 he followed Charles of Lorraine, Duke of Guise, to Paris and held the title of Regius musicus. He died, perhaps in that same Paris, after 1560. His Masses (one book for 4 voices, and one for 3 and 5 voices, published in Paris, ed. Le Roy, in 1545 and 1557) and his motets were published in collections of the period and reprinted in the modern ones of Maldeghem, Eitner, Riemann, Mosskova, Commer (Collectio, VII, 21: a Pater noster), in the Musical Times (no. 183: an Ave Maria transcr. by Liszt), etc.
