Description: | August 2021 brings the 500th anniversary of the death of Josquin des Prez, the central figure of the Franco-Flemish School of composers that flourished in the 15th and 16th centuries. Among its other members were Binchois, Dufay, Obrecht, de La Rue, Isaac, Lassus, Ockeghem, Willaert and de Wert. In musical terms the school, born in the Renaissance, made a transition in the course of 200 years from the ancient modes to the style and practice of the early Baroque. Glorying in polyphony, it encompassed both the sacred and secular as it produced songs, motets, masses, psalms and more.
