Jacob van Eyck (c1590-1657) - the 'Orpheus of Utrecht'
was a blind bell-tuner and carillonneur, who was also
an excellent recorder player. He was actually a paid
busker who would serenade strollers in a Utrecht
churchyard. His two-volume collection 'Der
Fluiten-Lusthof' (the Flute's Garden of Delight)
contains many sets of variations on popular secular and
sacred tunes.
Although this piece was written for flute (probably
recorder), I transcribed this piece for solo Piccolo.
