(Johann Heinrich von Weissenburg) Henricus Albicastro
(Pappenheim or Bieswangen?, 1661 - Maastricht, 26 January 1730)

German composer and violinist. In 1686, he moved to Leiden, in the Netherlands, where he registered at the University of Leiden as a Musicus Academiae, but his name does not appear in the university's archives. In 1696, a collection of twelve of his trio sonatas appeared, entitled 'Il giardino armonico sacro-profano'. Edited by François Barbry, it was published in Bruges by François van Heurck; no copies of the last six, or of Albicastro's opus 1 or opus 2 from Bruges seem to have survived. In Amsterdam a separate set of opus numbers were published by Estienne Roger: collections of violin sonatas (Opp. 2, 3, 5, 6 and 9), trio sonatas (Opp. 1, 4 and 8), and string concertos (Op. 7) in a Corellian idiom. During the last phases of the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1713), he served as a captain of cavalry. He remained active in this position until 1730, when he died in Maastricht. One source erroneously suggests he may have died in 1738.
