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.

  • Magnifique de pureté et d'émotion. Profondément poignant. Le tempo assez lent ajoute à la délicatesse déchirante.

  • @flowforms actually, it isn't exactly stated that Binchois was Ockeghems master. They may have both actually served together as choristers in their earlier years. It is very apparent though that they were close in their lives through their works (De plus en plus and Missa De plus en plus is a fine example, and of course this lamentation).

  • Its marveolous to hear the music Ockegham wrote for his 'Masters' death, and then later we have Josquin write something akin to this for Ockegham's passing.

  • Zounds!!  Fantastic stuff - if there is ever a Youtube "early music" award, you'd be hands-down the winner.
