August 5 - Guillaume Dufay (The Musical Birthday Series)

Guillaume Dufay (or more fashionably Du Fay) (5 August, c. 1397 – 27 November 1474) was one of the greatest composers in Western music history.

He Doesn’t Missa Thing

If Missa Se la face ay pale

Isn’t to your taste at all,

Perhaps you’d rather spend the day

Singing Missa L’homme armé

But take your pick, we won't ask why,

And fête the birthday of Dufay.
