Ockeghem was one of several major composers (including Dufay and Jacob Obrecht) to write a mass based on this specific melody.Musical Architecture:Ockeghem is known for his “non-imitative” polyphony, where voices move independently without constantly repeating each other, creating a seamless, “ever-flowing” texture.The Editor:Gbor Darvas (19111985) was a pioneer in electronic music and a prolific editor who played a key role in bringing medieval and Renaissance masterpieces to the modern Hungarian public.rdekessgekA zeneszerz:Johannes Ockeghem (kb. 14101497) a 15. szzad msodik felnek leghresebb franko-flamand zeneszerzje volt.
