Gilles Joye (1424 or 1425 – 31 December 1483) was a Franco-Flemish composer of the Renaissance. A member of the Burgundian school, he was known mainly for his secular songs which were in a lyrical and graceful style.
Famous quotes containing the word joye:
“Al that joye is went away,
That wele is comen to weylaway,
To manie harde stoundes.
Hoere paradis hy nomen here,
And now they lien in helle ifere:”
