Stokem (or Stokhem), Johannes (c. 1440–c. 1500)

Flemish composer. A few sacred and secular works by him survive, including four chansons printed in Ottaviano Petrucci's Odhecaton A (1501).

Stokem was probably born and spent his early life near Liège. He was in the service of Beatrice of Hungary in the early 1480s and a singer in the papal choir 1487–89. He was a friend of the music theorist Johannes Tinctoris, who sent him portions of his 12th treatise (all that survives) with a letter.
