Johannes Galliculus
Johannes Galliculus (c. 1490–post 1520) was a German composer. Like Jacob Handl, he Latinized his name to Galliculus from the German “Hennel.” He was probably the Johannes Hennes de Dresden who entered Leipzig University in 1505. Galliculus was also a theorist and in 1520 published Isagoge de compositione cantus, a treatise on counterpoint. All of his compositions are sacred Latin pieces, though three of them have German texts, carols, and chorale tunes.
