Robert Morton
As a priest, both cleric and chaplain, Morton served in the Burgundian court form 1457 until 1476. The only reference to his being English was for a payment to him for the purchase of clothes. It described him as an "angle chaplain". During the reign of Philip the Good and Charles the Bold Morton served as a member of the chapel. Only secular compositions attributed to Morton are extant. His songs did not appear in any English source and English textures and structures were difficult to discover in the songs attributed to Morton. Qualities that can be ascribed to the musical stylings of Morton -- aside from a plethora of borrowings and imitations -- are melodic brevity and succinctness, and the contratenor part often contained extreme intervals of fifths though these fifths did result in a semblance of tonality. The song "N'aray je jamais" was one of the few pieces cited as Morton's in more than one source. The piece itself, however, appears in fifteen sources and Morton's "Le souvenir" had fourteen sources.
