An educational programme featuring early music. On 27 August 1521, composer Josquin des Prez died in Condé-sur-l’Escaut in Hainaut. This year marks the 500th anniversary of his death, and we commemorate this with a seven-part series on his life and works. Today is the sixth part, which features a number of secular chansons by Josquin.
