John the Fearless 1404–1419	Philip the Good 1419–1467	Charles the Bold 1467–1477	Mary of Burgundy 1477–1482

John the Fearless, Philip the Good, Charles the Bold and Mary of Burgundy ruled Burgundy from 1404 to 1482 and turned its Court into a centre for the arts unparallelled throughout Europe. The list of composers they patronised reads like a 'who's who' of medieval music: Guillaume Du Fay, Gilles Binchois, Alexander Agricola, Robert Morton, Antoine Busnois...

This programme by Les haulz et les bas combines the whole range of sounds of medieval art music: the brilliant sound of the alta capella of shawms and slide trumpet, the intimate chamber music of the soft ensemble of harp, dulcimer and fiddle and a virtuoso vocal ensemble.
