Johannes Ockeghem (1420-96) was the most important composer of his generation in the Flemish school that dominated Renaissance music.

Possibly a pupil of the eminent composer Gilles Binchois (1400-1460), Ockeghem served as composer and choirmaster to three French kings: Charles VII, Louis XI, and Charles VIII.

At his death, a Déploration (lament) was composed by his pupil (according to tradition), the French composer Josquin Desprez, and a lament by the philosopher Erasmus was set to music by the French composer Johannes Lupi (c. 1506-39). Ockeghem's masses, motets, and chansons (secular part-songs) show great skill at counterpoint based on melodic imitation.

  • After hearing this it's hard to maintain the prejudice that modern man is more sophisticated that medieval man.

  • @micrologus2 I have great admiration for this painting. It's very well executed and full of mystery and expressivity.

  • @luciangabrielpopescu : the paiting is by Petrus Christus, one of the so called Flemish Premitif painters

  • @Jcurry1985 Petrus Christus, Portrait of a young lady.

  • Does anyone know the title and artist of the painting featured here?

  • !!

  • That´s my life you ask, odd I can deny it:

    well to love and to regret is the life that give me.

    Who could serve so well as I have served?

    My to live who could have suffered?

    Why do you ask me the grief that should pass? Therefore love and to regret is the life that you give me.

  • It's true, but we've to say also that the Flemish took a lot of techniques from Italy.
