The Burgundian School was a group of composers active in the 15th century in what is now eastern France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, centred on the court of the Dukes of Burgundy.[2][3][4] The main names associated with this school are Guillaume Dufay,[5]Gilles Binchois,[6] and Antoine Busnois. For a time in the early 15th century, the court of Burgundy was the musical centre of gravity of Europe,[3] eclipsing even Rome, the seat of the Papacy, and Avignon, the home of the Antipopes. By late in the 15th century the Burgundian style was subsumed into the larger stream of Franco-Flemish music.
