John Sutton (composer)
John Sutton (fl. late 15th century) was one of the composers of the Eton Choirbook.[1] Sutton was a Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1476; one year later he was elected for the fellowship at Eton College; there are no more references to his name in the Eton records after 1479. He may have been the same "Sutton" who graduated MusB at Cambridge in 1489.[2]
Only one work by him survives, a Salve Regina in seven parts.
