Already at an early age he was appointed music director of the chapel of Our Lady in his native town. In 1579 the city joined the Dutch Revolt. At that moment the chapel was assigned to the Protestants and thus Tollius lost his job. Not long afterwards he left for Italy. In Italy Tollius worked subsequently in Rieti (1583-1584) and Assisi (1584-1586), in both instances as choirmaster of the cathedral; next in Rome (1586-1588) and Padua (1588-1601), as a member of the choir (tenor). At the end of 1601 Tollius went to Copenhagen, where he was appointed as an exceptionally highly paid singer to the court of King Christian IV. He was dismissed early in 1603. Then we lose track of him for a while. From 1607 he reappears in the archives of Amersfoort, in which city, however, he was probably not a resident. Presumably he lived in or near Copenhagen. He was quite wealthy. He died sometime between 20 October 1619 and ...

A selection of his compositions was accompanied by Ambrosius Lobwasser's German translations. To ensure that the translated texts matched the music, occasional rhythmic changes were made, while the pitches were kept in tact. In the nineteenth-century search for Sweelinck's musical heritage, the Berlin editions were found earlier than the original ones; therefore, the two new reconstructions of Sweelinck's psalm arrangements published in 1876 and 1883 were based on these Berlin editions. Shortly thereafter, the part-books with the original texts were found in England. Since then, little note has been taken of the Berlin editions, but their history deserves our attention.

A number of these compositions have become part of the local musical culture and have been preserved in dozens of manuscript copies. The original prints of Sweelinck’s psalms appear twice, both times as part of an extensive convolute. One was purchased in Amsterdam in 1707 by the Swiss nobleman Balthasar Planta. The other was in the possession of the same Balthasar Planta in 1741. Already before 1832, the books were dispersed: a part remained in Zuoz, a part ended up in the Library of Congress in Washington, and a third part is untraceable.
