Jacobus Vide

Jacobus Vide ( * before 1386; † after 1433 ) was a Franco- Flemish composer, organist and court official.

Life

Jacobus Vide was a cleric from the diocese of Tournai. On October 27, 1410 when he was appointed on the basis of a decree of John XXIII. , The Duke of Burgundy recognized as one of the few to the canons of Saint- Donatien in Bruges. Later Vide was provost of the churches of Nivelles.

Prior to December 1423, he found employment as a valet to Duke Philip the Good. He perceived administrative tasks, was paid in 1426 but also for the education of two choir boys. In 1428 he was secretary to the Duke and received a small organ.

Despite his talent as a composer Vide has never been a member of the court orchestra. 1433 mention it the Hofrechnungen for the last time.

The work

• From Vide following eight two -to four- part chansons have survived: Amans doubles
• Espoir m'est venu conforter
• Et c'est asses
• Il m'est si grief
• Las! ja'y perdu mon espincel
• Puisque per n'ay plus de maystresse
• Qui son cuer met a lady
• Vit encore ce faux dangier.

The style of these songs is easy. Short phrases are joined together by overlapping cadences. Frequent dissonance, cross - rhythms and a considerable variability of the melody contribute to the special charm of this courtly art.
