# Johannes Ockeghem

> A Franco-Flemish composer who bridged the gap between Du Fay and Josquin, Ockeghem wrote some of the most technically audacious music of the 15th century — including a Mass that works in any mode and the earliest surviving polyphonic Requiem.

## Bio

Born around 1410, Ockeghem rose to prominence in the second half of the 15th century alongside Antoine Busnois as a leading figure of the early Franco-Flemish School. He spent most of his career in the service of three French kings — Charles VII, Louis XI, and Charles VIII — moving through the royal court as both composer and singer. His surviving output is small, likely a fraction of what he created: around 14 masses, 20 chansons, and fewer than 10 motets, with exact counts clouded by attribution debates. The works that remain show a composer drawn to structural puzzles — the canon-dense Missa prolationum, the mode-flexible Missa cuiusvis toni, the chanson Fors seulement. When he died on 6 February 1497, the loss reverberated: Erasmus, poets Guillaume Crétin and Jean Molinet, and Josquin des Prez himself mourned him, Josquin composing Nymphes des bois in his memory.
