Benedictus à Sancto Josepho [Buns, Grand Carmel, Josephus a monte Carmelo]
(Geldern, 19 March 1643 - Boxmeer, 6 December 1716)

Dutch organist and composer. Born Benedictus Buns, he entered the Carmelite Monastery in Geldern in 1659. He took his vows in 1660 and was ordained a priest in 1666. Sometime before 1671, he was transferred to the Carmelite Monastery in Boxmeer, where he spent most of his life and career. He served as sub-prior during the periods 1671-1674, 1677-1683, and 1692-1701. From 1679 until his death, he held the position of organist in Boxmeer, succeeding Hubertus à Sancto Joanne Vlaminck. Beginning in 1699, he was also employed there as a private composer, conductor, and organist for Count Oswaldo van den Bergh. He was also a recognized organ expert and consultant, serving as a key advisor in the construction of an organ in Boxmeer, where he was highly regarded. He is considered one of the most important Dutch composers of the latter half of the 17th century, known primarily for his extensive output of religious vocal and instrumental compositions.
