Safford Cape (28 June 1906 - 26 March 1973) was an American conductor, composer and musicologist.[1]
Born and educated in Denver, Colorado, Cape moved to Belgium in 1925 to further his studies in composition and musicology.[1] From 1933, after a few years of chamber music composition, Cape began focusing on the performance of medieval and Renaissance music.[1] To this end, he founded and conducted the Pro Musica Antiqua of Brussels, an ensemble specialising on music from the medieval and Renaissance periods.[1] This group toured throughout Europe and the Americas and produced many recordings.[1] Cape's work inspired Noah Greenberg to form a similar ensemble in America, the New York Pro Musica which was recorded first by EMS Recordings. [2]
For health reasons, Cape retired in 1967 and died in Brussels six years later.[1]
