Decapella

fl. 1550’s

About a dozen chansons are credited to him in prints of Du Chemin and Attaingnant from around the year 1550. He might tentatively be identified with the the Hugo de Lachapelle, composer of a pair of motets published in Lyons. Frank Dobbins, “Decapella,” New Grove 2, VII, 119.
