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.”
