Robert Wylkynson

Robert Wylkynson (sometimes Wilkinson) (ca. 1450 – Eton after 1515) 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 Regina Jesus autem transiens/Credo in Deum à 13 motet O virgo prudentissima (fragmentary) But these works show Wylkynson to have been "an extremely ambitious composer and a more than competent one."
