Pycard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pycard, also spelt Picard and Picart (late 14th century - early 15th century) was an English or French Medieval and Renaissance transitionary composer.

He served in John of Gaunt's household in the 1390s. He is one of the most technically advanced and prolific composers represented in the Old Hall manuscript (British Library: Additional 57950), with nine works from it attributed to him. His music is in the ars nova style, and is unusual in its virtuosity.
