 Pierre de La Rue - A discography
Pierre de La Rue (c.1452-1518) was the leading composer at the court of Burgundy during the golden age of Franco-Flemish polyphony, and arguably the last great exponent of the medieval aesthetic in music.
La Rue's mass cycles in the fully developed post-Obrecht style dwarf Josquin's in number, and while the priorities of text-setting and simpler expression in Josquin's late output became the rallying cry of the high Renaissance, it was La Rue whose output punctuated the end of the medieval era.
La Rue was probably born in Tournai, and a recently discovered reference to him as a professional singer in Brussels in 1469/70 suggests a date of birth closer to 1452 than the traditionally ascribed 1460.

 Goodall vs de la Rue Whist Counters/Markers
De La Rue not only had a wide business vision and a penchant for quality (the best engravers and miniature designers worked for De La Rue).
De la Rue also came up with other interesting designs, and the creativity involved in some of these attempts -- which I call De La Rue Variants -- was striking.
Both Goodall and De La Rue also produced less expensive counters in cardboard or leather with pointers that indicated the progress of the game, patterned after the older round long whist counters in brass and ivory.

The move, which should be completed within six months and result in annual net savings of £7m, will consolidate the manufacturing procedures on a product by site basis, with most factories specialising in a specific product.
