This Week's Composer

on BBC Radio 3

Ockeghrm (c 1425-c 1495) Johannes Ockeghem was one of the most famous musicians of his age, both as a composer and as a singer - he possessed a magnificent bass voice ' that enabled him to sing down to the very bottom of the cellar! ' (FOLENGO, 1516)
After his training he moved from the Burgundian Court to the French, and served successively Charles VII , Louis XI and Charles VIII. His pupils included Josquin and Pierre de la Rue, and his dark, restlessly powerful music impressed all his contemporaries: his death prompted widespread grief, including an ode from Erasmus.
