Carver, Robert

▪ Scottish composer
born c. 1490, , Scotland?
died 1547?

      outstanding Scottish composer whose extant works include five masses and two motets. One of the motets, for 19 voices, was found in a large choir book compiled in the first half of the 16th century at Scone Abbey, Perthshire, and now preserved in the National Library of Scotland. References in the volume suggest that Carver took holy orders at the age of 16 and remained at that Augustinian abbey until 1546 or later. Nothing is heard of him after that time.
