Biography
Life
Heinrich Isaac (Brabant, 1450 - Florence, 1517) received a good education and married, but likely remained childless. Between 1480 and 1492 he worked for Lorenzo de Medici in Florence. He was an organist for the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Later he became court composer for Emperor Maximilian I in Vienna. After which he spent some time in Innsbruck.
In 1497 Emperor MaximilIan I appointed him court composer, the most prestigious position a musician could hold. In 1503 he was also a candidate for the position of kapellmeister in Ferrara. Although Isaac was known for his ability to compose quickly and was easier to work with, the position went to Josquin Desprez, who was more willful and had more substantial financial demands. However, Josquin Deprez was a more famous composer, so Isaac was passed over. Isaac stayed court composer in Vienna and Innsbruck, but frequently traveled to Florence and re-established himself there 3 years before his death.

Heinrich Isaac
Netherlandish composer
This article is about the Renaissance composer. For the footballer, see Heinrich Isaacks.
Heinrich Isaac (ca. 1450 – 26 March 1517) was a Netherlandish composer of south Netherlandish origin during the Renaissance era. He wrote masses, motets, songs (in French, German and Italian), and instrumental music. A significant contemporary of Josquin des Prez, Isaac influenced the development of music in Germany. Several variants exist of his name: Ysaac, Ysaak, Henricus, Arrigo d'Ugo, and Arrigo il Tedesco among them. (Tedesco means "Flemish" or "German" in Italian.)
Early life
Little is known about Isaac's early life (or indeed what he called himself), but it is probable that he was born in the Brabant. During the late 15th century, standards of music education in the region were excellent, and he was probably educated in his homeland, although the location is not known.[1][2] Sixteenth-century Swiss music theorist and writer Heinrich Glarean claimed Isaac for Germany by dubbing him "Henricus Isaac

Heinrich Isaac (also Henricus, Arrigo d'Ugo, and Arrigo il Tedesco) (around 1450 – 26 March 1517) was a Franco-Flemish composer of the Renaissance. He is regarded as one of the most significant contemporaries of Josquin Desprez, and had an especially large influence on the subsequent development of music in Germany.
Little is known about Isaac's early life, but it is probable that he was born in Flanders. It is known that he was writing music by the mid 1470s, and the first documentary reference to him is from 1484, when he was court composer at Innsbruck. The following year, he entered the service of Lorenzo de' Medici at Florence, where he was organist, choir master, and teacher to Lorenzo's children; he assumed this post on the death of Antonio Squarcialupi. One of his students in Florence was the future Pope Leo X. In 1494, the Medici were banished from Florence; the era of Savonarola was beginning, and Isaac was left to find employment elsewhere. However, he had married a Florentine and so maintained a household there throughout the remainder of his life.
