Guillaume Dufay: Adieu ces bons vins de Lannoys

Guillaume Dufay (Du Fay, Du Fayt) (August 5, 1397? – November 27, 1474 in Cambrai) was a Franco-Flemish composer of the early Renaissance. As the central figure in the Burgundian School, he was the most famous and influential composer in Europe in the mid-15th century. From the evidence of his will, he was probably born in Beersel, in the vicinity of Brussels. He was the illegitimate child of an unknown priest and a woman named Marie Du Fayt.
