Career
He was mainly a composer of madrigals, some in the note nere style. He was probably from Liège, although the details of his early life are uncertain, since several musicians bearing the name "Naich" were active at the church of Saint Martin during the time he would have been growing up. Details of his life for the period in which he was in Rome are equally uncertain.
One of Arcadelt"s Venetian publications, his Il quinto libro di madrigali (Fifth Book of Madrigals) (1544), includes six pieces by Naich, further indicating a connection between the two.
A painting entitled "The Three Ages of Manitoba" (now lost), possibly by Sebastiano del Piombo, was believed to have shown a likeness of Naich, as the eldest of the three figures in the painting.
