Edmund Sturton

Edmund Sturton (or Stourton, fl. late 15th-early 16th century) was an English composer of the Tudor period.[1] Nothing is known about his life and career, but he is believed to be the same Sturton whose six-part setting of Ave Maria ancilla Trinitatis is found in the Lambeth Choirbook.[2] Another six-part setting, Gaude virgo mater Christi, is in the Eton Choirbook; its voices cover a range of fifteen notes.[3] Both compositions are attributed merely to 'Stourton' or 'Sturton', but in the Eton Choirbook a later had has added the Christian name 'Edmundus'.
