Biography

Name given by seven ascriptions above chansons copied in the Chansonnier Nivelle de La Chaussée (Niv, c. 1465-1475), where four of them are grouped together (n° 24-27). Three of these songs are unique to Niv., the others only appearing in three of the five other so called Loire Valley Chansonniers (Cop, Dij, Lab; not in Wolf and Leu — nor Lab1).
The musicological literature has identified two active contemporary musicians bearing the same or a similar last name : Jean de La Haye* and Philippon Des Hayes*. Leaving aside still doubtful hypothesis on the provenance and date of Niv which might support one or the other identification, the overall strictness and consistency of the designations De La Haye and Des Hayes in the contemporary documentation invites to favour Jean de La Haye*.
