The Cause Is Love: Missa Se la Face Ay Pale & Missa Prolacionum

Guillaume DuFaÿ (c. 1397 - 1474) was the foremost European composer of his time.  Born in a part of Burgandy now in Belgium near the French border, he was educated as a choirboy in the cathedral of Cambrai, now in France.  Jean Ockeghem (c. 1421 - 1497), acclaimed by his colleagues and followers as the foremost composer of the generation after DuFaÿ, was born in the same region in Antwerp's cathedral. His earliest works show the influence of those of DuFaÿ and later in life they were friends.  After one of Ockegham's several long visits in the other's home, it seems that they both had composed masses with cantus firmi on the same subject, in which each emulated techniques characteristic of the other's work.
