Guillaume Dufay From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Du Fay (left), with Gilles Binchois Guillaume Dufay Du Fay Du Fayt August 5 November 27 ) was a Franco Flemish composer and music theorist of the early Renaissance . As the central figure in the Burgundian School , he was the most famous and influential composer in Europe in the mid-15th century. Contents Life Music and influence Masses Motets ... edit Life From the evidence of his will, he was probably born in Beersel , in the vicinity of Brussels . He was the illegitimate child of an unknown priest and a woman named Marie Du Fayt. Marie moved with her son to Cambrai early in his life, staying with a relative who was a canon of the cathedral there. Soon Dufay's musical gifts were noticed by the cathedral authorities, who evidently gave him a thorough training in music; he studied with Rogier de Hesdin during the summer of 1409, and he was listed as a choirboy in the cathedral from to . During those years he studied with Nicolas Malin , and the authorities must have been impressed with the boy's gifts because they gave him his own copy of Villedieu’s Doctrinale in 1411, a highly unusual event for one so young.

Composer Index Affiliates Guillaume Dufay (c.1400 - 1474) Dufay's music flows more smoothly than the characteristically complex rhythmic textures of the late Medieval period, and is marked by graceful melodies and a compelling sense of direction. As his career progressed and his fame grew, Dufay increasingly took up the four-voice vocal texture which was to be characteristic of the early Renaissance as a whole. His four cantus firmus masses "Se la face ay pale," "L'homme arme," "Ecce ancilla domini," and "Ave regina caelorum" are landmarks in what was to become the dominant style of mass composition. The Missa "Se la face ay pale" is probably the earliest surviving mass based on a secular theme, previous cantus-firmus masses having been based on liturgical chant. Today, we value Dufay's music not only for its grace and invention, but also for its significant historical position in the quickly evolving style of the early Renaissance. The fact that the life of so cosmopolitan a character from this period has been preserved so well in documentation lends invaluable insight on the musical developments of the time. ~

Much of it comes from his will, still extant in Cambrai. Born probably in Hainault (some say Beersel) before 1400, he was a chorister in the cathedral of Cambrai. He wrote a song celebrating the marriage of Charles Malatesti and Vittoria di Lorenzo Colonna, which took place in 1416. From 1428 to 1437 he served in the Papal Choir in Rome, and held appointments at Cambrai and Mons from 1436 until his death, living for a time also in Savoy before 1446. Prior to 1442 he took degrees Magister in artibus, and Baccalaareus in decretis at the Sorbonne in Paris. He also entered the service of Philippe le Bon, Duke of Burgundy, as music tutor to his son Charles, Comte de Charolais. Dufay died in Cambrai on November 27, 1474.

Guillaume Dufay was regarded during his lifetime as the premier composer of the 15th century, a title that has stood ever since. He was one of the foremost representatives of the Burgundian school of composition and his contributions to the development of faux-bourdon and the cyclic mass are of particular interest. He, however, cannot be considered one of the greatest innovators in the history of Western music. He gained his fame not from daring novelty, but instead from an incredible understanding of all elements of composition. Life and times Guillaume Dufay was born in or around Cambrai (in northern France) circa 1400 and he died there November 27, 1474. He spent his youth as a choirboy at the Cambrai Cathedral, where he studied under and was influenced by Nicolas Malin, the magister puerorum of the Cathedral, and his successor Richard Loqueville. While Dufay never had any formal training, it is believed that he learned the art of composing through performing under these men, copying music for the church, and from varied associations with those older musicians who also knew how to compose. He remained in Cambrai until shortly before 1420, when he entered the service of the Malatesta family in Pesaro. He returned to Cambrai in 1426 only to leave again in 1428 to become a singer in the papal choir, one of the most respected musical establishments in Europe, in Rome. It was during this time that he established himself as one of the most important musicians of his day. He probably wrote the motet

Introduction and major recordings might best be reached via the Renaissance Overview Discographic material below has been collected to this state primarily by Pierre-F. Roberge. Todd M. McComb Biography The life and music of Guillaume Dufay (1397-1474) are among the most difficult to circumscribe for major Renaissance composers. One point of clarity is that Dufay was considered by far the leading composer of his day, a musician of almost unparalleled eminence, and one of the most famous men of his generation. Dufay's large and varied musical output, its extent only now coming into focus in some cases, acted to define the new musical style of the early-to-mid-fifteenth century and with it the course of Western music into the High Renaissance. Dufay's influence over musical composition was complete and permanent, affecting every genre and sphere. The singularity of his eminence can best be compared to that of Beethoven or perhaps Machaut , but in fact Dufay had the broader contemporary reputation.

Guillaume Dufay (c.1400-1474) Binchois with Dufay Guillaume Dufay was born about 1400 and received his musical education as a chorister in the Cathedral of Cambrai. Very early in his life he started to show great talent as a singer and composer and was called to Italy, first to the Court of Malatesta at Rimini and Pesaro, and later as a member of the Papal Choir in Rome as well as the Court of Louis of Savoy at Geneva. 1436 finds him in the service of Pope Eugene IV in Florence, where he composed motels for the inauguration of the dome built by Brunelleschi. He frequently returned to his home in Burgundy and later held canonries at Cambrai, where he spent the rest of his life up to the time of his death in 1474. Dufay's travels brought him in close touch with the musical style of both the North and the South. Thus the year 1425 puts him down as the so-called founder of the Netherland's Polyphonic School, and from 1440 on he was generally considered the leading master of church as well as secular music.

D DUFAY, GUILLAUME BIOGRAPHY Generally regarded as the leading composer of his time, Guillaume Dufay was born in Cambrai at the beginning of the 15th century. A chorister at Cambrai Cathedral, he was briefly in the service of the Malatesta family in Italy, and after a further period at home, returned to join the papal choir in 1428. He was subsequently involved with a number of ruling families in Italy, including the d'Estes of Ferrara and the rulers of Savoy, before returning to Cambrai, where he retained a position as canon of the cathedral until his death. Dufay represents the generation influenced by the English composer John Dunstable and forming the so-called Burgundian or First Netherlands School of composers, flourishing in the territory ruled by the Dukes of Burgundy, but widespread in its own influence as the predominant Renaissance musical style. Church Music Secular Music Dufay wrote more than seventy chansons setting verses in the fashionable forms of the time, the ballade, the virelai and rondeau. It would be invidious to make distinction between many of these, the majority in the form of rondeaux, although Adieu ces bons vins de Lannoys strikes a note of poetic nostalgia that may arouse sympathy.

GUILLAUME DUFAY Educator of music INTRODUCTION Guillaume Dufay was a famous Renaissance composer. BACKGROUND Dufay was born in Cambrai, France, in the year of 1399 and died in 1474. He spent the majority of his career in Cambria. He joined a choir with fifteen to twenty other members, originally. As the years passed, members, including Dufay, moved to other choirs for money and other such reasons. Guillaume Dufay was a chief figure of music schools because of his completion of education as a choir master, as well as being very well-educated in most aspects of music. ACCOMPLISHMENTS Dufay's large musical output contained masterpieces of every genre, or style and type of music. Some types of his were: dramatic cycles cyclic masses isorhythmic motets simply ornamented hymns Some of Dufay's main changes in music were: paths toward modern day harmonies use of third intervals new structure of staffs He introduced harmonies which then brought out the melody in his works Dufay made the rules and imitations for the cannon. The cannon is a song or melody with two or more parts. The first group plays the melody, then the second group repeats it while the first plays a new melody or harmony, followed by the second group and the song continues in this fashion. Guillaume Dufay was the first composer to use a folk song in mass. A mass is a group of songs sung to honour God in the Roman Catholic Church.

19. Guillaume Du Fay guillaume Du Fay is one of the most important figures in this transition from the medieval to Renaissance style, which took place mainly among composers http://www.wwnorton.com/classical/composers/dufay.htm

GUILLAUME DU FAY Born: August 5, 1397,? Cambrai, France Died: November 27, 1474, Cambrai French composer. Considered the leading composer of the early Renaissance. The fifteenth century saw the rise of a new musical style, one in which harmonies began to center on full triads and the setting of the text became an important concern to composers. Guillaume Du Fay is one of the most important figures in this transition from the medieval to Renaissance style, which took place mainly among composers associated with the rich court of Burgundy. For this reason, Du Fay and his contemporaries are usually referred to as the "Burgundian School." Guillaume Du Fay probably received his early musical training in the cathedral choir at Cambrai, in northern France. But his career took a decidedly international turn early on. By the age of twenty-five he had gone to Italy. During his years there, he worked for courts in Pesaro, Ferrara, and sang in the Papal choir in Rome. During that time he also earned a degree in canon law, probably at the University of Bologna. He spent the latter part of his life back at the cathedral in Cambrai. Du Fay wrote both sacred and secular music; he is perhaps best known for his cantus firmus Masses. Before he died, he composed a Requiem Mass (now lost) to be sung at his funeral, and asked that four of the best singers from the cathedral sing his motet Ave regina caelorum Hail, Queen of Heaven

Guillaume Dufay c. 1400-1474 The 1400s Guillaume Dufay lived in France during a time of changes, wars, and new ideas. The Hundred Years’ War had been fought between the French and English since 1337, so Dufay knew of no other life than during wartime until he was well into adulthood. In 1414 to 1418, the Council of Constance met to resolve the great schism that had divided the Catholic church. In 1434, the Pope fled to Florence from Rome. In 1439, the old Pope Eugenius IV was deposed and Pope Felix V elected; Pope Eugenius IV then excommunicated those that had deposed him. Joan of Arc rose to power, was tried and executed in 1431. Guillaume Dufay’s time was full of conflict, both religious and political, and change. Early Life It is not known exactly where Dufay was born, or his parentage. It is assumed that he was born in Cambrai, since that is where he lived most of his life, and his mother lived and died there. His mother’s name was Marie Dufay, but his father is unknown. This could mean that Dufay was illegitimate and only came into wealth and a seigneurial rank because of his great musical talent. The fact that his mother’s tombstone was labeled simply as the mother of Guillaume Dufay, the canon of Cambrai Cathedral, supports the idea of his lack of patriarchal parentage. Dufay's Career Dufay’s correspondences and patrons illustrate how he was able to be at the forefront of the composers of his day. He apparently was in contact with such men such as Donatello, had extended correspondence with the Medici family, and gained many privileges as a result of patronage from the Pope. Because of these patrons, Dufay was able to command a certain amount of respect and freedom.
