Martin le Franc Le Champion des Dames (1440-42) Tapissier, Carmen, Cesaris Not long ago sang so well that they astonished all Paris and all who came to hear them. But never did they discant such finely wrought melody— so I was told by those who heard them— as G. Du Fay and Binchois. For they have a new practice of making lively consonance in both loud and soft music, in feigning, in rests, and in mutations. They took on the guise of the English and follow Dunstable and thereby a marvelous pleasingness makes their music joyous and remarkable.

“The English Sound” John Dunstable (c. 1390-1453) - in service to Duke of Bedford Hundred Years’ War (1337-1453) Contact w/ Burgundian musicians, e.g., Du Fay, Binchois, et al. Preference to: - thirds (consonant interval!) - triadic sonorities (chords!) - melody in top voice Faburden: Du Fay “Conditor...” Anthology I/32 G. Binchois: “De plus en plus” (Chanson)

Guillaume Du Fay (c. 1397-1474) Born in “Low Countries” (Franco-Flemish) Worked in: Cambrai, Rimini/Pesaro (Italy), Cambrai, Bologna (Italy), Rome (Papal Choir!), Savoy, for Pope (Florence/Bologna), Cambrai, etc. Sacred and Secular compositions (as jobs require) Masses (settings of Ordinary) and Motets - cantus firmus technique Chansons The leading composer of 15th century

Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore (Florence, 1296-1436)

Florence Cathedral Nave

“Nuper rosarum flores” Anthology I/33 Consecration of Cathedral (25 March 1436) Pope Eugene IV presides Motet by Du Fay mixes old and new Old – isorhythm (6:4:2:3 proportions) and cantus firmus (“Terribilis est locus iste”) New – sonorities of third and 6/3 chords and faster upper lines "Nuper rosarum flores" - Guillaume Dufay

Sacred Music : Mass Cycles All ORDINARY movements of the mass Cantus firmus (“fixed song”) - pre-existing melody (chant or other) Du Fay chanson: “Se la face ay pale” Anth. I/35 Du Fay, Missa se la face - Kyrie - Gloria Anthology I/36 - Credo - Sanctus - Agnus dei Head motive and tenor (“Se la face”) for musical coherence
