Epoch: Renaissance Country: France-Italy Josquin Desprez (circa 1440-1521) Detailed Information about Picture Gallery List of Works Bibliography Introduction Perhaps a native of the Vermandois region of Picardy, he was a singer at Milan Cathedral in 1459, remaining there until December 1472. By July 1474 he was one of the 'cantori di capella' in the chapel of Galeazzo Maria Sforza. Between 1476 and 1504 he passed into the service of Cardinal Ascanio Sforza, whom he probably accompanied in Rome in 1484. His name first appears among the papal chapel choir in 1486 and recurs sporadically; he had left the choir by 1501. In this Italian period Josquin reached artistic maturity. He then went to France (he may also have done so while at the papal chapel) and probably served Louis XII's court. Although he may have had connections with the Ferrara court (through the Sforzas) in the 1480s and 1490s, no formal relationship with the court is known before 1503 when, for a year, he was maestro di cappella Josquin's works gradually became known throughout western Europe and were regarded as models by many composers and theorists. Petrucci's three books of his masses (1502-14) reflect contemporary esteem, as does Attaingnant's collection of his

Josquin Desprez (c.1440/55-1521) - A discography This page will eventually become a resource on the great Franco-Flemish composer Josquin Desprez. A biographical sketch appears below. Introduction and major recordings might best be reached via the Renaissance Overview Discographic material below has been collected to this state primarily by Pierre-F. Roberge. Todd M. McComb Biography Josquin Desprez (c.1440/55-1521) is widely regarded as one of the finest and most influential composers in the history of Western music. The stylistic traits of his music, both in contrapuntal technique and in text-setting, gave the defining direction to the High Renaissance and with it the course of music history as a whole. Not only was Josquin admired by Martin Luther as the greatest of composers, but his music was distributed throughout Europe and especially in Germany for decades after his death. The clear textures and text declamation which Josquin employed set the stage not only for the next developments of technical harmony, but for the clarity and conciseness demanded by the Counter-Reformation of Palestrina et al. as well. Josquin's output displays a rare combination of innovation and accomplished technical mastery, and has retained for him a position as the most prominent composer of the early sixteenth century, perhaps the high point of Western music as a whole. Although he spent a substantial portion of his career in Italy, Josquin evidently received his training in the Northern Franco-Flemish style before then, perhaps at the feet of

Josquin Desprez c. 1440-1521 Josquin Desprez Basic Repertoire List - Josquin Josquin's mastery of every important musical genre of his time is evidenced by his surviving works, which include 19 masses, about 100 motets, some 70 French chansons, and a handful of instrumental pieces and Italian frottole (part songs). These were published widely both during his lifetime and long after his death. His musical style was the product of two cultures: the north, where he was born and educated and to which he later returned and the south, where he reached artistic maturity and spent many of the most productive years of his life. The techniques and styles of the two regions coexist in his music, and he had recourse to them throughout his long career. In many of his works the contrapuntal artifices of the Franco-Netherlanders and the chordal, harmonically controlled style of the Italians are fused into a rich and expressive musical language that has as its primary goal the perfect union of words and music. In his motets, melodic imitation is the prevailing technique. Above all, the motets show highly expressive treatment of text, reflecting Josquin's deep religious conviction as well as the age's new humanistic attention to personal expression. To his secular compositions, his polyphonic (multivoiced) chansons, he applied a range of techniques, from simple and chordal to highly imitative. These works set a standard for composers of the later Renaissance that was often emulated but never surpassed.

No. 1166: JOSQUIN DESPREZ by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 1166. Today, academic detectives look for the real Josquin. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. F or my money, the greatest composer who ever lived was the somewhat shadowy figure of Josquin Desprez. Josquin defined the new music of the Renaissance. You've probably heard his masses. You've surely heard his little choral piece El Grillo the one that makes such a fine imitation of a cricket. When I was in graduate school, musicologists were waging holy wars with one another over Josquin's particulars. Today a few of those particulars are in pretty good order. We know Josquin was born in the northern part of France around 1440. That rough date comes from the 1459 records of a Milan cathedral which identify him as "Jodocho de frantia biscantori." "Jodocho de frantia" was an Italian version of his name. "Biscantori" meant a young adult singer. The spelling of his name changes from place to place and time to time. Historians finally saw that Josquin himself told us how he wanted his name spelled in a five-voice motet

JOSQUIN DESPREZ Born: ? 1440 French/Franco-Flemish composer. Generally acknowledged as the greatest composer of the High Renaissance. Martin Luther, who had a good knowledge of music, said of Josquin Desprez, "he alone is the master of the notes, they have to do as he bids them." Indeed, Josquin was acknowledged by nearly all his contemporaries as the greatest composer of his time. If so, he stands as the first among many great musicians, for the composers of what we often term the Netherlands School created one of the richest periods in Western musical history. His contemporaries—including Antoine Brumel (c. 1460–c. 1515), Pierre de la Rue (c. 1460–1518) and Loyset Compère (c. 1445–1518)—and the previous generation— led by Johannes Ockeghem (c. 1410–1497)—created a style of music that can rightly be compared to the art of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. What we do know is just what Josquin's contemporaries knew: that he created wonderful music. What stands out most in this music is his care for the words. This is seen in part by the way he uses imitation to allow each voice to present the text before the texture becomes too dense to be clear. He also made use of homophonic textures to give the text an added clarity. Some of his works, especially his Masses, use the older cantus firmus technique. Here he uses the borrowed melody to create a huge scaffolding upon which he constructs the other melodies. Some of these pieces display a high level of technical complexity. At the same time, he could create pieces of marvelous simplicity and elegance, as he did so often in his motets and chansons.

Josquin Desprez Created by Mike Passaris on Friday the 13th of February, 1998. Josquin's Life In the province of Hainaut, Belgium around 1440, Josquin Desprez was born. His first dominant position he held was to become choirmaster to Duke Ercole I of Ferrara. This is the time where he began to write most of his music. He received musical training at Cambrai, France and was now putting it to good use. He wrote motets, chansons, masses, a handful of instrumental pieces, and Italian frottole's (part song's). In April of 1505, at the duke's death, Josquin became provost of the collegiate church of Notre Dame in Conde. He lived the rest of his life there until he died at Conde-sur-l'Escaut on August 27, 1521. Motets Josquin wrote 100 motets throughout his lifetime. In 49 of the motets he used a plainsong melody. His masses and early motets were essentially in four parts, he did write five and six part motets as well, but they were less common. One early four part motet Victimae paschali laudes (1502) exemplifies his early style with dense texture and lack of imitation. His early motets were very plain with not much rhythmic movement. As he wrote more and more, Josquin developed a greater maturity in his music. The more he wrote the better each piece was. It is noticeable to the listener that each motet, for instance, becomes more involved and advanced. Homophony and imitative passages began to be recognized in his works an example being

Tapestry, The All-Centuries Singers Utica Monday Nite Sacred Music Concert Series Westminster Presbyterian Church, Monday, June 18, 2001 The Age of Josquin Desprez The career of Josquin Desprez (c.1440 - 1521) marked one of the great turning points in the history of western music. He brought together a new compositional technique of imitation, where one voice sings the same melody as another after a delay, as in a round, with a new clarity of text expression and a strict control of harmony and thereby set the music language for the entire sixteenth century and, in many ways, far beyond. The first works on our program were composed by Josquin's teachers, and they show the range of style that he inherited. Ave Regina Caelorum , composed c.1470, by Guillaume Dufay (c. 1400 - 1474), is a free fantasy based on a very famous Marian antiphon, whose melody can be heard in each voice at different times, but chiefly in the tenor. This appears to have been a very personal work for Dufay. He intended that it be sung at his funeral, and he inserted his own name in the part of the text that pleads for mercy. The second work, from the Missa Prolationem of Johannes Ockeghem, shows off the technical stunt of the mensuration canon. The soprano and alto share the same melody, but sing it at different speeds, as do the tenor and bass with a different melody.

An analysis of Serafino's sonnet to Josquin Josquin Lebloitte, called (surname) des Prez : A New Biography by Guy Shaked Keywords: Rene D'anjou, Ercole d'Este, Josquin, Louis XI, Louis XII, Ockeghem, Galeazzo Maria Sforza, Ascanio Sforza, Shaked Through an analysis of the various sources and research dealing with the life and art of Josquin, this new biography demonstrates various connections between the events of Josquin's life and his artistic output. The biography reveals that Josquin, throughout his life, was preoccupied in a search for better payment in exchange for his services to his patrons and this has influenced his artistic output. Furthermore it appears he was not a ready servant of the patron-composer system, which might suggest partially his relative unsuccessfulness to maintain and hold major positions in his lifetime. Josquin was born probably in France, since just before he died he declared that he was a foreigner in Conde, stating that he was from over the Eau Noire, which formed the southern border between Hainaut and France. The village Prez, which might be the surname origin, is located about seventeen kilometers south of the Eau Noire [1]. Josquin birth date is estimated to the 1450's [2], since it appears that the Josquin mentioned as an adult in the service of Duke Galeazzo Maria Sforza in 1459 is a different person, for his family name in Latin is Kessalia, and he is the son of Honodius [3]. While Josquin's family name is Lebloitte (nicknamed Desprez) and his parents are Gossard and possibly Jeanne [4].
