	Binchois, Gilles
		Binchois is often considered to be the finest melodist of the fifteenth century, writing carefully shaped lines that are easy to sing, and utterly memorable; his tunes continued to appear in copies decades later, and were often used as sources for Mass composition by later composers.
		Most of his secular songs are 'rondeaux', which had become the commonest song form of the century; but Binchois rarely writes simple strophic form, instead shaping his melody almost independent of the rhyme scheme of the verse.
		Binchois wrote music for the court, secular songs of love and chivalry, music that was expected by the Dukes of Burgundy and that was evidently loved by them.

	Gilles Binchois - A discography
		Binchois' songs are constructed according to a standard pattern, with a main line in the highest voice and accompaniment in the lower two.
		Binchois' reputation today rests almost entirely on his songs, and especially on their continued use as the basis for extended contrapuntal settings by the next generation of composers.
		Binchois' most famous settings, such as Triste plaisir and Dueil angoisseux, have a special grace and sublimated passion about them which have come to typify the courtly conventions which were soon swept aside by the rising humanism of the Renaissance.

	Famous Belgians - Gilles Binchois
		From 1430 on, he was at the court of Burgundy during its most brilliant epoch.
		Although Binchois wrote some sacred music, his masterpieces are his 50 or more secular French Chansons for solo voice and two accompanying instruments.
		The solo voice carries the melodic line, the lowest instrument establishes a feeling of key, and the middle instrument fills in the other essential notes in the chord, all characteristics that are remarkably advanced for the time.

	A Selection of Renaissance Music
		The musical Renaissance is usually taken to begin with the generation of Gilles Binchois (c.1400-1460) and Guillaume Dufay (1397-1474), although most of the 15th century is placed in the medieval period by some historians.
		Of course, the musical idioms of this century are as distinct from those of the 16th as they are from those of the 14th, just as the same can be said of any century.
		Binchois and Dufay were largely responsible for defining the new style of song-writing.
