Leonhard Lechner was born in the Austrian Tyrol around 1550 and died in Stuttgart in 1606. His early years were spent as a choirboy in Munich, studying with Orlando di Lasso. During his lifetime, Lechner helped publish and perform many of di Lasso's greatest works. Lechner held various music positions at Nuremberg, Hohenzollern-Hechingen, Tiibingen, and Stuttgart, and his early sacred and secular works were widely admired by his contemporaries.
