Biography

French composer . He has been tentatively identified with Perrinet Rino, an instrumentalist active in the court of King Alfonso the Magnanimous in Barcelona in 1417, although Pierre Fontaine was also known as Perrinet and was at Rouen in the late 14th century before moving to the Burgundian court. A certain Perrinet d’Acx is also known to have been in the service of the King of Navarre from 1374 to 1386.

Perrinet’s compositions comprise a three-part Kyrie and a four-part Credo. In the Apt Manuscript, the Credo is attributed to ‘Bonbarde’; the composer may thus have been a shawm player.
