Hi,

I have been trying to find a timeline of works by Guillaume Dufay, and other important composers working during the Italian Renaissance, but have had little luck so far.

I am building a database with timelines of important cultural and political events during the Italian Renaissance, and while I have been able to collect a lot of data about when artworks were made, I have not had great success in finding out when pieces
of music were composed or even printed.

Does anyone have any suggestions of where I could look to start filling in the blanks in my cultural timeline?

The project is called The Codex and is focused on connecting historical figures from the Italian Renaissance, and compiling timelines of what they did, and where.

Any suggestions would be most welcome ...

Cheers,
Iian Neill

Well, let me point out that music was first printed only in the
1500s. Everything prior is hand copied, i.e. manuscript.

As for a chronology of Dufay's works, although I imagine that someone
is working on one, there isn't one available now. There are a small
handful of works with specific dates attached. It seems unlikely
that a chronology of his entire output can ever be more than sketchy.

Hi Iain

Todd is right. No printed music for Dufay until later on, probably postmortem.. You'll be looking for information about manuscripts that contain Dufay songs, like these:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trent_Codices
You could also look through a Dufay bibliography, like this one, and articles on Dufay.

DIAMM is a pretty good resource for medieval song, and it will direct you to other good printed sources.

Have you looked in Charles Hamm's chronology? http://press.princeton.edu/titles/2860.html
Also, if I recall, David Fallows' biography has a chronology. http://amzn.com/0460031805

Both would have to be supplemented by more recent research.
