Next stop we will do is in Amsterdam at the Oude Kerk or the old church. Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck did most of his music in Amsterdam in Oude Kerk, he served as an organist. He composed more than 250 vocal works, and most of them were made in Oude Kerk, Amsterdam.
Jean de Ockeghem
After leaving The Netherlands we will go and visit the Antwerp Cathedral because Jean de Ockeghem’s earliest recorded appointment was as a singer at Antwerp Cathedral in 1443-1444. He was also called one of the great masters of the Franco-Flemish style.
Jean de Ockeghem
Jean de Ockeghem or Johannes Ockeghem was born in a small Belgian city called Saint-Ghislain. Ockeghem was born in 1410 his born date isn't sure but people think that he was born in the early 1410. His probably most famous piece of music is Missa sine nomine which he made in Brussels, which was the place he died in.

Gilles Binchois
We will have two stops outside the low countries Rome and he next stop which will be Paris. There he was in the service of the Duke of Suffolk in Paris during years 1424 and 1425.
Guillaume Dufay
Last stop before going back to where we started is Rome. He became a member of the Papal Choir, serving first Pope Martin V, and then after the death of Pope Martin in 1431, Pope Eugene IV. In 1434 he was appointed maistre de chappelle in Savoy, where he served Duke Amédée VIII; evidently he left Rome because of a crisis in the finances of the papal choir, and to escape the turbulence and uncertainty during the struggle between the papacy and the Council of Basel.
