Josquin Baston (c. 1515 – c. 1576) was a Dutch composer of the first half of the 16th century.
After Christian III's death, he found work at a Swedish court.
[1] A number of his pieces were published in Sigismund Salblinger's Concentus (1545), and in the Leuven Collection (1554).
[2] Charles Burney praises his compositions for their ease, rhythm, and melody, as well as for a distinct marking of the key in which they are to be played.
[2] In 2021 lutenist Floris De Rycker and his ensemble "Ratas del viejo Mundo" recorded a CD entirely devoted to the chansons of Josquin Baston (Ramée RAM2103).
