Du Fay´s early songs contain an unusual number of examples that are unconventional in this respect: they are addressed not to the usual objet d´amour but to his companions, or incorporate elements of other genres un an ironic manner. As his career progresses many of these traits disappear and his songs, on the surface, become more "convetional"; but in the late songs Du Fay again incorporates musical idioms from outside the song repertory, this time not in an ironic manner but ratherto enrich the musical and effective rhetoric of the work. Keywords: Guillaume Du Fay, Jehan Molinet, Gilles Bichois, Johannes Ockeghem, Antoine Busnoys, Burgundian chanson.
