On January 10th, 1430, Duke Philip the Good of Burgundy founded the chivalric confraternity known as the Order of the Golden Fleece. Dedicated to "the exaltation of the faith and the Holy Church," "the honor of St. Andrew", and "the practice of virtues and good habits", the Order and its members supported the creation of some of Europe's most exquisite polyphony in the late 1400s. Repertoire includes music by Guillaume Du Fay, Johannes Ockeghem, Antoine Busnois, and Cristóbal Morales.
