Bernhard van den Sigtenhorst Meyer (or Sigtenhorst-Meyer; also Bernard) (1888–1953) was a Dutch composer and great connoisseur of the works of Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck.

He was born in Amsterdam on 17 June 1888, and died in The Hague 17 July 1953. [1]

He studied music theory with Daniël de Lange, piano with Jean Baptiste Charles de Pauw and composition with Bernard Zweers.

In 1935, he was co-founder of the Association for Protestant church music (Vereniging voor Protestantse Kerkmuziek). [2]

Notable students of Sigtenhorst-Meyer's included Hans Henkemans.

  2. "Orgelconcerten: Bernard van den Sigtenhorst Meyer" (in Dutch). Nederlandse Publieke Omroep. Archived from the original on January 26, 2014. Retrieved January 26, 2014. However, the claim that he destroyed all his works from the early 1910s, made at the Orgelconcerten page, is not quite, anyway, true; the substantial list of manuscripts at NMI (see external links, below) contains e.g. an autograph of a "Strijkkwartet/17-2 1911" - presumably(?) the string quartet mentioned. At least one song ("Avant que tu l'en ailles/Pâle étoile du matin, / Paul Verlaine. / Musique de / Bernh. Meyer / 2 sept. 1912" survives from this period, and some works dated 1915; however his "Op.1" is attached to "Van de Bloemen" of 1917.
