Johannes Ockeghem[yOhAn´us ok´ugem] Pronunciation Key, c.1410–1497, Flemish composer. Ockeghem is thought to have been a pupil of Gilles Binchois and was definitely taught by Guillaume Dufay. He himself taught Josquin Desprez. He served three kings of France : Charles VII, Louis XI, and Charles VIII : and died at Tours. Considered the leader of the second generation of Flemish composers, he made highly influential contributions to imitative counterpoint in sacred music.
