JOHANNES DE STOKEM  

The Flemish composer Johannes de Stokem was apparently born near Liège, where he met Tinctoris. He was in the service of Beatrice of Aragon, Queen of Hungary after her marriage to Matthias Corvinus. By 1487 he is found as a singer in the Papal Choir in Rome and seems to have been a musician of contemporary importance. This is witnessed by the fact that four chansons by him are included by the publisher Petrucci in his Harmonice Musices Odhecaton of 1501, the first printed collection of part-songs.
