Cornelis F. Schuyt (c. 1565 – c. 1650) was a Dutch composer and musician of the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods, primarily known for his contributions to vocal music. He was active in the early 17th century and is recognized for his work in the genre of Dutch song, particularly the "liederen" (songs) that reflect the cultural and social milieu of his time. Schuyt's notable works include a collection of songs published in "Liederen, waer in begrepen zijn verscheidene nieuwer en oude liederen" (1622), which showcases his ability to blend text and music effectively. His compositions often display a lyrical quality and utilize intricate polyphony, making them significant in the development of Dutch music. Though not as widely known as some of his contemporaries, Schuyt's music contributed to the establishment of a distinct Dutch musical identity during a period of cultural flourishing in the Netherlands. His influence is seen in the evolution of song forms and the integration of local vernacular into art music, paving the way for future generations of Dutch composers.
