Johannes Mangon (c. 1525 in Liège – 1578 in Aachen) was a Francophone composer from the Spanish Netherlands. He was selected while a boy in Liége to join the choir at the Cathedral of Aix-la-Chapelle, that is to say Aachen in modern Germany. He rose to become maître de chapelle.[1][2] Among his surviving works are 20 masses[3][4] and over 100 motets, hymns etc, contained in 3 large choirbooks he copied for Aachen Cathedral which are still preserved there.[5] He died of the plague in 1578 and was succeeded by Lambertus de Monte (Liége, d.1606) and then Michael Wilhelm (fl. 1580–1610).
