Regesten Kaiser FIII (1440-1493), Sonderband 2 [Taxregister der römischen Kanslei, 1471-1475], Vienne, Bölhau, 2001, p. 83, n° 588, 3/8/1471. Item una declaratio data Arnoldo Duren, quod preces sue primarie ad collationem ep et capit eccl Cameracensis debent etiam extendi ad dignitates; dominus dedit sibi gratis, quia cantor domini imperatoris; dominus Johannes Blidenberg sollicitavit. & p.212, 1456, 31/1/1472: Item una litera promotorialis pro domino Arnoldo, cantore et capellano domini imperatoris, ad abbat monst Sancte Gertrudis Nevelensis, leod dioc, ad respondendum sibi de fructibus procionis imperialis ibidem; demonius dedit gratis, quia antiquus capellanus et cantor domini imperatoris.• (2) Biquardus [Wiquardus]
(fl c1440-50). Composer of the three-voice hymn settings In excelsis te laudant and Ave stella matutina in the St Emmeram Choirbook (D-Mbs Clm.14274). They may be contrafact songs. On another piece in the same manuscript the ascription ‘Biquardus’ is erased but still visible. The work is an arrangement of an English song in which the original text Love woll I is replaced by Resurexit victor mortis. It has no stylistic similarity to the other two pieces. Despite the unison imitation and masterly textural control of these hymns, they can hardly be by the English composer Pycard (1). It is far more likely that Biquardus is Arnold Pickar or Pickhart, a cleric of the diocese of Liège who was in the Kantorei of Emperor Friedrich III from 1444-80, because the pieces appear in the manuscript close to those of another musician working in Vienna, Hermann Edlerawer.
