Johannes Ciconia and the Birth of European Music
More than 600 years ago, a young musician named Johannes Ciconia left his native Liège to travel south. The first major Franco-Flemish composer to make his fortune in Italy, he helped establish a long tradition of cultural exchange between the northern and southern parts of Europe that lent a new, international dimension to the music of the early 15th century.
