Biography

  • 1446-1448: Singer at Duke Charles I of Bourbon's court at Moulins
  • 1461-1474: French royal chapel
  • Music theorist and composer Johannes Tinctoris describes Cousin, along with Petrus de Domarto, as composers non parvae auctoritatis (of no small authority)
  • Cousin's Missa nigrarum appears to have been lost, though an excerpt is referenced by Tinctoris. The title is thought to have been mistranscribed from either Nigra sum or Nisi granum
