Léonard (Collet) de Hodémont (1575–1639), was a Belgian Baroque composer, conductor, and organist. Life
Hodémont is thought to have been born in Hodémont or Liège, and received his musical education at Saint Lambert's Cathedral in Liege. From 1595 he studied at the University of Leuven. On 15 October 1610 he was appointed as succentor at the collegiate church of Saint Pierre in Liège. In 1612 he became the canon at Saint Lambert's Cathedral and at the Church of St. Maternus in 1616.
