Author:William de Wycombe
Variously identified as W. de Wycombe, W de Wyc, Willelmus de Winchecumbe, Willelmo de Winchecumbe, and/or William of Winchcomb: English composer and copyist of the Medieval era.
Works[edit]
Wycombe left a number of documents with his signature, including a collectarium, a precentor's workbook, two rotuli (scrolls) containing music, a summary and treatise on music, a history to which Winchecumbe added music, and also other books. His name also appears in a Reading manuscript including the rota Sumer is icumen in, and on one of seven sets of four-part compositions in the Wintonia collection. Two of these compositions are partially preserved and parts of others are to be found in the Worcester Fragments. Of these compositions, only Alleluia, Dies sanctificatus is completely restorable. The works have a four-part polyphonic structure. One more fragment is found copied in the Montpellier Codex.
