Johannes Ockeghem: Planctus sur la mort de Binchois 1/4 Miserere pie Jesu

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.

Thanks for making this piece available. It is particularly interesting for the (certainly deliberate) similarities with the piece that was written for Ockeghem's own death by his student Josquin ("La Deploration de Jean Ockeghem/Nymphes des Bois").

Great piece, but why upload the same recording 4 times as different parts? Or am I missing a few subtleties here?

thanks for this, do you mind sometime reversing the order of play so we can get 1 to 4 consecutively?
