This year our Medieval Music Days will feature the music of the Burgundian School.
Historians of Western music have called the Burgundian School both the first movement of
the Renaissance and the culmination of the medieval period. It is also thought of as the
first of several generations of the Franco-Flemish School, which helped to define
the boundaries of Renaissance style. The relative political stability and geographical location of
the Duchy of Burgundy during the first half of the 15th century fostered a musical culture that was
hugely consequential. Its rich and culturally dense territories during this period
included most of what is today Belgium and Holland, as well as Alsace and of course Burgundy itself.
