This week's program focuses on the marriage of Charles, Duke of Burgundy, called the Bold, and Margaret of York in 1468. We'll hear from composers who were in Charles' employ, like Hayne van Ghizeghem and Robert Morton, plus a mass by Walter Frye from the Burgundian Court Manuscript, which contains pictorial clues linking it to the royal wedding.
