This is a list of notable events in music that took place in the 1470s.
Events
1470
5 August – Guillaume Du Fay purchases some land in his homeland of Beersel to provide an income to establish his obiit.[1]
October – Antoine Busnois first becomes a member of the Burgundian chapel as a demi-chappelain (he would be promoted to full chaplain in 1472).[2]
November – Antoine Busnois is paid for "services ... of which the duke [of Burgundy] wished no further mention to be made in the accounts"—probably a delicate diplomatic mission recruiting new musicians from another court.[2]
