Life

Couple of details of his life come certain. Around 1510 he attempted to obtain the degree of BMus at Oxford University by submitting a mass and an antiphon; it is non certain whenever a degree was granted. Between 1510 and 1525 he may develop sleep in London, and can will have a few association using a court of Henry VIII. Virtually all in all probability he was chorus master at St. Mary Newarke Hospital and College in Leicester between 1525 and 1548. He was an applier for the position of chorus master at Cardinal Wolsey's new Cardinal College, but Wolsey chose John Taverner instead. Records indicate that the pension was paid to him higher until November 17, 1558, therefore these are presumed he died inside early November of that month.

Music

4 sacred vocal compositions by Aston live complete:

Missa Te Deum (5 voices) Missa Videte hand meas (hexad voices) Gaude mater matris Christe (5 voices) Te Deum laudamus (5 voices)

More compositions subsist around fragments.

Additionally, he wrote keyboard music, virtually all of which shows an remarkably progressive have of idiomatical keyboard system. Occasionally celebrated pieces use at times been attributed to him in stylistic evidence, including a typically-recorded & anthologized Our Lady Careys Dompe.
