Johannes Touront

Johannes Touront (or Johannes Tauranth; fl. 1450–1480) was a probably Franco-Flemish composer, active in the third quarter of the fifteenth century. Johannes Tourout was most likely born in the small town (or near) ofTorhout, not far from Bruges. Found in 2002, a papal document in the Vatican archives dated July 1460 (the only biographical source on the musician), cites him as a clerk of the diocese of Tournai and "Hhofkantorei" (singer) of Emperor Frederick III
