“Flemish Musical Mastery in the Age of Hieronymus Bosch” traces Netherlandish musical style from its first high point in the music of Guillaume Du Fay, an exact contemporary of Rogier van der Weyden, to its final flowering in the works of Orlande de Lassus and Giaches de Wert, just at the time when Abraham Bloemaert was beginning his long and distinguished career as a visual artist. The program includes music by eleven Netherlandish composers: Guillaume Du Fay, Johannes Ockeghem, Loyset Compère, Henricus Isaac, Jacob Obrecht, Josquin Desprez, Alexander Agricola, Nicolas Gombert, Cipriano de Rore, Orlande de Lassus, and Giaches de Wert.
