Robert Wylkynson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Wylkynson (sometimes Wilkinson) (ca. 1450 – Eton after 1515) was one of the composers of the Eton Choirbook.[1]

Only four works survive:

  • 2x Salve Regina
  • Jesus autem transiens/Credo in Deum à 13
  • motet O virgo prudentissima

But these works show Wylkynson to have been "an extremely ambitious composer and a more than competent one."[2]
