(fl. early 15th century) English composer, a contemporary of Leonel Power. There are two motets of Forest's in the Old Hall manuscript, but much more survives in Continental sources such as the Trent Codices. His music contrasts declamatory and melismatic passages; the conflict of rhythms between the various voices gives his music a restless quality. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/John+Forest">Read more on Last.fm</a>
