Johannes le Febure was a Flemish composer born either in the Low Countries or Vienna sometime in the sixteenth century; his exact date and location of birth are unknown. He died sometime between 1609 and 1612. He served in a number of important musical posts in Austria, including chapelmaster in Konstanz and in Mainz. While he uses some of the polyphonic techniques of the Flemish school, his music most clearly reflects the influence of the Venetian style, and of Giovanni Gabrielli in particular.
