The Binchois Game
In the Binchois game, players are given a copy of an
early fifteenth-century song with the final bars omitted (see below, scores
and recordings in the left-hand column). The challenge is to correctly guess
the pitch of the final. When playing the game, decide on the pitch of the
final before hearing any of the alternative endings provided in the
right-hand column: use these only to verify, in retrospect,if the choice
feels right. Good luck!
