Download or read book Born for the Muses written by Rob C. Wegman and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1994 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Son of a town trumpeter, Jacob Obrecht became one of the most prominent composers in Europe in the late fifteenth century. In Born for the Muses, Rob Wegman enlarges our picture of the social and cultural conditions that framed his world, drawing on a wealth of new archival sources and a newly discovered dated portrait that sheds light on his development as a composer. Obrecht's greatest contribution lay in the field of mass composition. In a penetrating stylistic analysis, Wegman treats each of the thirty-odd surviving masses as a historical record, tracing influences and establishing a rich context for the development of Obrecht's musical language. This new assessment of his creative achievement and historical significance entirely changes the face of Obrecht studies and of late fifteenth-century music in general.

This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 1058 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through forty-five creative and concise essays by an international team of authors, this Cambridge History brings the fifteenth century to life for both specialists and general readers. Combining the best qualities of survey texts and scholarly literature, the book offers authoritative overviews of central composers, genres, and musical institutions as well as new and provocative reassessments of the work concept, the boundaries between improvisation and composition, the practice of listening, humanism, musical borrowing, and other topics. Multidisciplinary studies of music and architecture, feasting, poetry, politics, liturgy, and religious devotion rub shoulders with studies of compositional techniques, musical notation, music manuscripts, and reception history. Generously illustrated with figures and examples, this volume paints a vibrant picture of musical life in a period characterized by extraordinary innovation and artistic achievement.
Download or read book Johannes Ockeghem written by Philippe Vendrix and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 1998 with total page 922 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JOHANNES OCKEGHEM (1410/1425-1497) est depuis la Renaissance au centre des préoccupations de théoriciens, d'amateurs, de musicologues qui se penchent sur le XVe siècle. Jugé par les uns compositeur difficile, voire énigmatique, hautement intellectuel ou même mystique, d'autres perçoivent dans sa technique musicale des éléments irrationnels que certains interprètent comme les traces d'une rationalité aboutie. Selon Erasme, il était " summo musico " et possédait une " aurea vox ". " Roy sur tous les chantres " aux dires de Nicole Le Vestu ou encore " Sol lucens super omnes " pour Molinet. Cosimo Bartoli n'hésite pas à le comparer à Donatello et le qualifie " homme de la Renaissance ". Né dans le Hainaut, il travaille quelques années à Anvers et à Moulins avant de s'installer à Tours où il exercera plusieurs fonctions officielles : premier chapelain du roi ainsi que chanoine et trésorier de la basilique Saint-Martin, il fut également mainte de chapelle à la cour de Charles VII et Louis XI. Ce volume réunit les contributions au XIe Colloque d'études humanistes qui s'est tenu au Centre d'Etudes Supérieures de la Renaissance en février 1997 à l'occasion du cinquième centenaire de la mort du compositeur.
