A thorough and comprehensive study of the fifteenth century's most influential composer and his cultural and spiritual world.

Alejandro Planchart's wide-ranging and distinguished career as composer, conductor and scholar began in Caracas, Venezuela and took him via Yale and Harvard to the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he is now Emeritus Professor. In 1963 he founded an early music ensemble, Cappella Cordina, with whom he issued a pioneering series of recordings of medieval and renaissance music. His book The Repertory of Tropes at Winchester (1977) won the Gustave O. Arlt Award in the Humanities in 1979. In 2006 he received the Howard M. Brown Award from Early Music America and in 2013 he received the Medal of the City of Tours. He was also winner, in 2009, of the Arion Prize from the Cambridge Society for Early Music for his work on Guillaume Du Fay, of which this book is the long-awaited summation.
