He was not an innovator, with the exception of a few late works, and wrote within a stable tradition. He was one of the last composers to make use of mediaeval techniques such as isorhythm, but one of the first to use the harmonies, phrasing, and expressive melodies characteristic of the early Renaissance. His compositions within the larger genres - masses, motets, and chansons - are mostly similar to each other; his renown is largely due to what was perceived as his perfect control of the forms in which he worked, as well as his gift for memorable and singable melody. During the fifteenth century he was universally regarded as the greatest composer of the time, and that belief has largely persisted to the present day. Dufay, who wrote mostly church music, was a priest. His most famous motet is probably Nuper rosarum flores composed for the consecration of the cathedral of Florence in 1436.

Love this. Sang it last night at close of Compline at St Bartholomew's Atlanta. Our version was a bit slower. SA, T, B - filling in the A3. Thank you for this recording AS.

Very difficult to comprehend and practice..
@jefflokanata
this is Ars Nova style, before Renaissance, where the triad chord is still uncommon, and parallel common

Jeff Palmer Lokanata Oh, so it was the time that fifth was more preferred than third..

Actually it's Burgundian school ( a "proto-renaissance style" if you want) not Ars nova (ars nova was between 1300 - 1380, just before the Ars Subtilior [1375 - 1420]) ;)
