Dijon Chansonnier, late Medieval French chansons ()

The Dijon Chansonnier (. Bibliothèque Municipale MS 517) contains 160 French songs, many of them the same as those found in other contemporary illuminated manuscripts including the Laborde, Escorial, Leuven, Copenhagen, Nivelle and Wolfenbüttel Mss. The pages of the Dijon Ms were richly illuminated with grotesque, satirical human and animal figures. As in the other compilations, the Dijon manuscript is dominated by Franco-Flemish masters such as Antoine Busnoy or Johannes Ockeghem, but also includes many anonymous and lesser known composers as well. As always, the soundtrack was created by sequencing together extensively edited MIDI files that I downloaded from various websites. I listed the names of those who uploaded the pred-edited MIDI files and their respective websites.
