Introduced by Denis Stevens
(To be repeated on February 25)
Guillaume Dufay (c. 1400-74) was one of the greatest musicians of the declining Middle Ages. A master of every kind of musical form, he possessed a style unique for its humanistic aspects, which appear in his sacred music as well as in his ballades and rondeaux. Thus the appearance of his own name in the text of 'Ave regina coelorum' has a poignancy akin to his fond farewell to the wines of Lannoys.
