Guillaume Dufay

Guillaume Du Fay ( / dj uː ˈ f aɪ / dyoo- FEYE , French: [ɡijom dy fa(j)i] ; also Dufay , Du Fayt ; 5 August 1397 – 27 November 1474) was a composer and music theorist of early Renaissance music , who is variously described as French or Franco-Flemish. Considered the leading European composer of his time, his music was widely performed and reproduced. Du Fay was well-associated with composers of the Burgundian School , particularly his colleague Gilles Binchois , but was never a regular member of the Burgundian chapel himself.
