Leonel Power
Leonel Power (also spelled ''Lionel, Lyonel, Leonellus, Leonelle''; ''Polbero''; 1370 to 1385 – 5 June 1445) was an English composer of the late Medieval and early Renaissance music. Along with John Dunstaple, he was a dominant figure of 15th century English music. Primarily a composer of sacred music, Power is the best represented contributor in the Old Hall Manuscript. Life and career Very little is known about Power's life. Documents dating from the early 1440s refer to him as a native of Kent. Stylistic analysis of his music, as well as his probable age during his known appointments, show that he may have been born between 1370 and 1385. A suggestion that Power was of Irish origin, which appeared in W.H.G. Flood's 1905 ''A History of Irish Music'', is usually discounted by modern scholars, since Flood is not known to have had any other sources on Power's life than are currently available. The earliest dated reference to Power refers to him as instructor to the choristers ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
