Biography
(NG2 Ninot- Voir dictionnaire):
“But the mention of ‘Nynot’ among the eloquent composers listed in the secunda pars of Moulu's motet Mater floreat suggests that he was still alive well after 1502 and implies that he was associated with the French royal chapel. None of his music is known from sources before about 1495; and most of it is in a style that suggests composition in the years 1500–1520. Litterick (following Lesure's earlier proposal) therefore argued that he is far more likely to be the Jean Lepetit who was maître de la psallette at Langres Cathedral in 1506–10, thereafter canon until 1529. The appearance of Ninot's mass in the Casale Monferrato choirbooks alongside works of Brubier and Hottinet Barra, who preceded and followed Lepetit as maître at Langres, may well support this identification; the mass, which is far more compact in style than his other music, may be one of his latest works.”
