This volume explores the work of one of medieval music's most
important figures, and in so doing presents an extended panorama of
musical life in Europe at the end of the middle ages. Guillaume Du
Fay rose from obscure beginnings to become the most significant
composer of the fifteenth century, a man courted by kings and
popes, and this study of his life and career provides a detailed
examination of his entire output, including a number of newly
discovered works. As well as offering musical analysis, this volume
investigates his close association with the Cathedral of Cambrai,
and explores how, at a time when music was becoming increasingly
professionalised, Du Fay forged his own identity as 'a composer'.
This detailed biography will be highly valuable for those
interested in the history of medieval and church music, as well as
for scholars of Du Fay's musical legacy.
