Biography
Though little is known about the early life and education of d'Ève, it is possible he was trained in composition by his father, Honoreus Eugenius d'Ève, who served as lieutenant de musique (1662) and maître de musique (1664) in Brussels. Alphonse was documented as a bass singer for the church of St. Andries in Antwerp from 1703-1718, after which he left to sing at the Cathedral of Our Lady from 1718-1725, where he was later succeeded by Willem de Fesch. His work spread through much of the Netherlands, as evidenced by music inventories in Ghent, Huy, Aalst, and elsewhere.
