Everything about Jacob Van Eyck totally explained
Jonkheer Jacob van Eyck (c.

composer.
Van Eyck was born blind into a noble family in the small town of Heusden. In 1625 he left home and became the Director of the Carillons of
Utrecht.
René Descartes,
Isaac Beeckman and other scientists praised his knowledge of acoustics, bell casting and tuning and bell players came to Utrecht to study with him.
Jacob van Eyck composed the

Psalms, and songs of the day. Even today they're quite challenging for a fine recorder player.
