Robert Wylkynson

Born: c. 1450, UK

Died: c. 1515, Eton, UK

Nationality: English

Robert Wylkynson (sometimes Wilkinson) was one of the composers of the Eton Choirbook. Wylkynson became parish clerk of Eton in 1496, then in 1500 he was promoted to Informator - the master of the choristers.

Only four works survive:

2x Salve ReginaJesus autem transiens/Credo in Deum à 13motet O virgo prudentissima (fragmentary)

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