Nymphes des bois also known as La Déploration de Johannes Ockeghem is a lament composed by Josquin des Prez on the occasion of the death of his predecessor Johannes Ockeghem in February 1497. The piece based on a poem by Jean Molinet and including the funeral text Requiem Aeternam as a cantus firmus is in five voices. In the first of its two parts Josquin cleverly mimics the contrapuntal style of Ockeghem. This chanson is one of Josquin`s best-known works and often considered one of the most haunting and moving memorial works ever penned.
