 The three most prominent composers of motet-chansons were Josquin des Prez, Loyset Compère, and Alexander Agricola, all of whom were in Milan, Italy, during the late 15th century as part of the progressive and opulent musical establishment of the Sforza family.Other composers who wrote motet-chansons included Johannes Prioris and Johannes Martini.Of these, only Prioris is not known to have been in Milan, but then relatively little is known about his life.
