Hugh Aston

Hugh Aston

Hugh Aston est un compositeur anglais né vers 1485 et mort en 1558.

En 1510, Aston — dont la graphie du nom adopte aussi les formes « Asseton », « Assheton » et surtout « Ashton » — obtint son diplôme de Bachelor of Music à Oxford et devint chef des chœurs de Saint Mary Newark Hospital College à Leicester (entre 1525 et la dissolution de ces chœurs en 1548).

Il composa une intéressante musique religieuse pour la liturgie catholique (8 œuvres dont 2 messes et quatre pièces incomplètes), mais est surtout connu grâce à un Hornepype pour clavier (virginal ou orgue) dans lequel il s'impose par une grande maîtrise technique de l'écriture — en avance sur les œuvres « continentales » de l'époque — et un maniement habile de l'ostinato simple. Se basant sur des critères musicologiques, on lui attribue également deux autres œuvres pour clavier, My Lady Carey's Dompe et The Short Mesure off my Lady Wynkfelds Rownde, bien qu'aucun manuscrit ne corrobore cette attribution. Il est très vraisemblable que cette musique pour clavier ait été jouée à la cour de Henri VIII d'Angleterre, ce qui amène John Bergsagel à supposer que Aston était à Londres entre 1510 et 1525.
