Nicolas Grenon was a French composer of the early Renaissance, born around 1375 and passing away on October 17, 1456, in Cambrai. He began his career as a clerk and later became a canon of the church of the Holy Sepulchre. By 1403, he served as the master of the choirboys at Laon Cathedral. Between 1408 and 1409, he worked as a teacher and singer in Cambrai, and by 1412, he had entered the service of John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy. After a brief return to Cambrai Cathedral, Grenon became the master of the choirboys of the papal chapel in Rome under Pope Martin V from 1425 to 1427. He eventually retired to Cambrai, where he spent the remainder of his life collaborating on a complete revision of the polyphonic liturgical music of the cathedral.
