John Lloyd

Life

Born: c.1475

Died: 1523

Biography Lloyd was a priest and composer, probably of Welsh origin. By 1505 he was a priest in the Chapel Royal and a Gentleman there from about 1509. He attended the festivities of the Field of the Cloth of Gold in France in 1520 and subsequently went on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. He died less than a month after his return.

One of his compositions in the Henry VIII Manuscript is ascribed 'Flude in armonia graduat', implying that he held a musical degree, but the year and university are not known. It is possible that the anonymous Mass 'O quam suavis' and antiphon 'Ave regina', both in a manuscript now in Cambridge University library, and both using particularly esoteric notation, may be his degree exercise.
