About this concert
Despite his motto ‘Aultre n’auray’ (‘I shall never have another’), Philip the Good was known for his passion for the fairer sex. Could this explain why Le Champion des Dames – Martin le Franc’s monumental poem about famous women – was dedicated to Philip? From the Virgin Mary to Joan of Arc to Christine de Pisan: in this programme medieval woman appears in all her guises, in music by Baude Cordier, Gilles Binchois and Johannes Ghiselin, among others.
Positive organ: Orgelmakerij Van der Putten (2017), built according to research by Wim Ros, after example found on The Lamb of God (1432) by Hubert and Jan van Eyck, collection Nationaal Orgelmuseum, Elburg.
