		Bio: Ockeghem was one of the most respected composers of the 15th century, and along with Guillaume Dufay and Josquin Des Prez, one of the most influential composers of the early Renaissance.
		Ockeghem was probably born in the current Belgium, in what was then the Duchy of Burgundy -- estimates for the year of his birth vary from 1400 to c.1430, but written sources from the period indicate that he was a very old man by the time of his death in 1497.
		Ockeghem's surviving musical output is relatively small, comprising a mere handful of motets, several masses, and a couple of dozen secular chansons.

	Johannes Ockeghem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ockeghem is often considered the most important composer between Dufay and Josquin des Prez, and was one of the most famous composers in Europe in the latter half of the 15th century.
		Recent research has shown that Ockeghem was born in the town of Saint-Ghislain; many older biographies state that he was either born in the town of his name or in the neighboring town of Dendermonde in East Flanders (now part of modern Belgium), part of the Duchy of Burgundy.
		Thirteen of Ockeghem's masses are preserved in a late Fifteenth century Flemish manuscript known as the Chigi codex.

		Ockeghem was born in the village of St. Ghislain (near Mons, Belgium) in the diocese of Cambrai, but his date of birth is unknown.
		The first appearance of Johannes Ockeghem in the surviving records is the year (1443-1444) that he spent as a vicaire-chanteur (an adult singer in the cathedral choir) at Notre Dame in Antwerp.
		Ockeghem's output was comparatively modest in size: ten complete Masses, some partial Masses and single movements, and also the earliest extant polyphonic Requiem, a handful of motets and 22 chansons.

		Although Ockeghem composed relatively few works over the course of his lifetime - 10 masses, a number of individual mass movements, a handful of motets and 22 chansons - he had a considerable reputation even in his own day for the beauty of his music.
		Ockeghem's Requiem, which is the earliest extant polyphonic work in the genre, is an unusual mixture of styles, with the Offertorium being the most sophisticated.
		Highly challenging for even the most experienced of singers, it showcases not only Ockeghem's extraordinary inventiveness - his exploration of the lower registers, his use of unusual harmonies and melodic expressiveness - but also his ability as a singer, for the elaborate bass part was likely to have been written for himself to perform.

	Requiem - Ockeghem (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The death of the Franco-Flemish musician Johannes Ockeghem, one of the great composers of the 15th century, on 6th February 1497 brought a stream of poems and laments in his honour.
		Ockeghem's pupils, among whom apparently all the great composers of the period belong, Josquin, de la Rue, Brumel and Compére, were invited to compose laments for him and met this request, Josquin even with his absolute masterpiece.
		In spite of that here he stands among his singers, with glasses on his nose, the great, thin and consistently unerring master, reminding the observer that he was in his time almost as well known for his glorious, deep bass voice as for his unique language as a composer.

	Johannes Ockeghem's: Biography, Articles
		Ockeghem was a native of Saint Ghislain in Hainaut [3].
		Apparently, it was near the end of 1460, the last year of the reign of Charles VII that Ockeghem wrote the elegy on the death of Binchois [9].
		During his service for Louis it appears Ockeghem was also serving the king in diplomacy as he participated in the 1470's embassy to Spain, to discuss a royal marriage between the house of Spain and Louis's brother.

		Ockeghem died in 1497, which means that early-music ensembles have been marking the five-hundredth anniversary of his birth.
		Ockeghem used to be vaguely name-dropped in musical histories as a mathematical genius who created insoluble puzzles of counterpoint.
		Ockeghem was an emotionalist, probably a pessimist, perhaps the first composer in Western history who sent listeners into the comforting bourgeois province of melancholy.

	Johannes Ockeghem
		The leading composer of the day, Ockeghem was a prominent bass singer (which is part of the reason Lionheart's Johnson says likes singing Ockeghem's bass parts) and a key figure in the Burgundian school of choral music that filled cathedral vaults in Paris, Reims, Cambrai and Tours.
		In fact, Ockeghem (who didn't come of age until some years after Joan made her exit) didn’t need CNN to keep up with world politics.
		Ockeghem himself was part of the royal entourage to Spain that tried unsuccessfully to negotiate a political marriage between Louis’ brother and Isabel of Castile (Ferdinand of Aragon made her a better offer).

		The Requiem of Ockeghem is the earliest surviving polyphonic setting of the Mass for the Dead, possibly composed for the funeral of Charles VII in 1561.
		Ockeghem did not provide settings for the Sanctus or Communion; in this recording, settings of these two movements are added by a later composer working in a similar style.
		Ockeghem uses the older texts from Psalms 23 and 42 for the chants between the readings; these are rarely heard since they were replaced by the more familiar Gradual and Tract after the Council of Trent.

	San Francisco Bach Choir: Johannes Ockeghem
		Alongside Binchois, Du Fay, Busnoys and Josquin, with whom his name is linked in documents of the time, he is considered one of the greatest composers of the 15th century.
		After his death, his music disappeared from daily use, and knowledge of his existence, and of his extraordinary contrapuntal skills, was somewhat distorted by later scholars until his rehabilitation in the 19th century.
		Although the number of known works attributed to Ockeghem is surprisingly small in view of the length of his life and the esteem in which he was held, his masses constitute an imposing repertory.

		And Johannes Ockeghem certainly was somebody--one of the greatest of the Franco-Flemish composers of the 15th century.
		His masses and motets are among the most splendid examples of vocal writing to be found anywhere--beautiful, expressive, and masterfully constructed to maximize the textual meaning with consistently well-formed and ingeniously varied melodic material robed in ravishing harmonies.
		Although Ockeghem hasn't exactly been ignored on CD, you certainly will find no better performances than these by The Clerks' Group--and we can hope that this ensemble is far from finished with this deserving composer and very rewarding music.

	Ockeghem
		Ockeghem's Requiem is the earliest extant polyphonic Requiem (unless Dufay's lost setting is discovered), and in it we encounter a wide diversity of techniques and vocal scorings that range from duets for high voice in strict imitation to the full, rich style that makes its first resplendent appearance at 'Req gloriae'.
		The whole shape of the work is suggestive of a gradual descent from the initial predominance of generally high ranges to the closing repose of lower pitches provided by divided basses.
		We have included the four further sections (that Ockeghem didn't not set) sung to plainchant - not to propose an 'authentic' ceremony, but to complete the musical logic by fully unwinding the thread of chant that begins the Introitus and continues, though often greatly embellished, throughout the polyphony as cantua firmus.

	Ockeghem by David Norman Bower
		If we are to establish Busnois's birth date as c.1430, then Ockeghem would have been 20 years older then he and a likely candidate for his teacher, as Martin Picker suggests in his Groves article on Busnois.
		On the other hand, of all the disciplines to which we might apply a deterministic approach, the theory and analysis of music has necessarily become more complex (and thereby it could be said that our methods are improving), and presumably we are able to discern more closely the structure and organization of composition.
		He may not have had as much depth as Ockeghem, nor Busnois's subtlety and taste for intricate polyphony, but the clarity of his writing is remarkable.

		Ockeghem did indulge in games, but he was not cerebral.
		Where Dufay before him and Josquin after him — gave elegant shape their phrases and cadences, Ockeghem blurred the line between the end of one phrase and the beginning of another.
		According to his adoring obituaries, Ockeghem was a kindly, unassuming man.

	Why Ockeghem Was the Freaking Man
		Put simply, Johannes Ockeghem was the freaking man. If anyone had mad chops, it was him.
		Conclusion: Ockeghem was the freaking man. He (and Josquin, but he's a heck of a lot more famous, ergo, not the subject here) totally exemplified the renaissance ideals in music and wrote music that keeps theoreticians and musicologists busy even as I'm typing this.
		If you have, do it again now knowing that you're hearing some of the most finely crafted material that has ever left the mind of man. And the amazing thing is that even with all that technical voodoo, it still sounds like some gorgeous mosaic of pitches plucked out from the æther.

		Esteemed as pre-eminent in his own time, subsequently he was dismissed unheard until fairly recently as a dry contrapuntist, a clever puzzler.
		The 1997 Ockeghem celebration is likely to prove far more significant than those the same year for Brahms and Schubert, who will remain popular as ever anyway.
		A late arrival for the Ockeghem quincentenary was an excellent Deutsche Grammophon CD of the Missa de plus en plus coupled with a generous selection of secular chansons with fascinating texts, as is so often the case for 15th century music.
