Biography

Né vers 1450, prêtre dès 1473.Contexte des cotidianen des églises paroissiales de Gand où Bordon figure dans le groupe le moins élevé et le moins bien payé en 1466-69, en 1470-72-74, puis 1478.
•D’accone 1997, pp. 235, 238-39: Il compose et copie des sections de messe pour la cathédrale de Sienne en août -septembre 1484, sous la commande d’Arringhieri. Peu avant, il était chanteur à la cathédrale de Trévise depuis 1479, où de la musique religieuse de lui subsista jusqu’à la 2e guerre mondiale. (D’alessi1939)
NGD: Bordon [Bourdon, Bordoen], Pieter (b Ghent, ?1450; d after 1483). South Netherlandish composer. His parents were the Ghent singer Valeriaen Bordon and Margriete van Wijniersch. He was active as a singer in his home town for at least 12 years, holding appointments at the churches of St James (1466–9 and 1470–72) and St Michael (1471–4 and 1478); he then departed for Italy, where he briefly joined the choir of Treviso Cathedral in 1479–80, and was paid in September 1484 as ‘chonpositore de chanto figurato’ at Siena Cathedral. Although the accounts of the latter church mention his having composed ‘motets, Credos, and other mensural works for this church’ (probably on commission), no liturgical compositions have survived under his name. Bordon may, however, be responsible for the four-part arrangement of the anonymous Il sera pour vous/L'homme armé (attributed to ‘Borton’ in I-Rc 2856), as well as a three-part setting of De tous biens plaine ascribed in Petrucci's Odhecaton A to ‘Pe. Bourdon’, but elsewhere to Alexander Agricola.
