Life


The spelling of Ockeghem's name comes from a supposed autograph of his which survived as late as 1885, and as reported by E. Giraudet, a historian in Tours; the document has since been lost. In 15th century sources, the spelling "Okeghem" predominates.

The birthdate of Ockeghem is controversial, and dates as early as 1410, and as late as 1430 have been proposed. The earlier date is based on the possibility that he knew Binchois

 in 1423. Ockeghem would have to have been younger than 15 at the time. This particular speculation derives from Ockeghem's reference, in the lament he wrote on the death of Binchois in 1460, to a chanson by Binchois dated to that time. In this lament Ockeghem not only honored the older composer by imitating his style, but also revealed some useful biographical information about him. The comment by the poet Guillaume Crétin, in the lament he wrote on Ockeghem's death in 1497, "it was a great shame that a composer of his talents should die before 100 years old", is also often taken as evidence for the earlier birthdate for Ockeghem.

Recent research has shown that Ockeghem was born in the town of Saint-Ghislain

. Details of his early life are lacking. Most likely he was a native speaker of French.

Like many composers in this period, he started his musical career as a chorister, although the exact location of his education is unknown: Mons, a nearby town that had at least two churches with competent music schools, has been suggested. The first actual documented record of Ockeghem's musical activity is from the cathedral of Notre Dame in Antwerp, where he was employed in 1443 and 1444, likely singing under the direction of Johannes Pullois

, whose employment also dates from that year. This church was another distinguished establishment, and it was likely here that Ockeghem became familiar with the English compositional style, which was decisive in formation of late 15th-century musical practice on the continent..

Although Ockeghem's musical style differs considerably from that of the older generation, it is probable that he acquired his basic technique from them, and as such can be seen as a direct link from the Burgundian style to the next generation of Netherlanders, such as Obrecht

Music and influence


Ockeghem was not a prolific composer, given the length of his career and extent of his reputation, and some of his work was lost. Many works formerly attributed to Ockeghem are now presumed to be by other composers; Ockeghem's total output of reliably attributed compositions, as with many of the most famous composers of the time (such as Josquin), has shrunk with time. Surviving reliably-attributed works include some 14 masses

The Mass, a Musical form of sacred music, is a choir composition that sets the fixed portions of the Eucharistic liturgy to music.

The Missa Caput was a musical setting of the Roman Catholicism mass , dating from the 1440s, by an anonymous English composer.

, no borrowed material has been found, and the works seem to have been freely composed.
