I have looked specifically at his piece “Quam pulchra es” and listened to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pjbl6HbHCqM. The piece is a motet. When translated, which the video I found did for us, it clearly praises Mary, the mother of Jesus, and ask for her love. It is a beautiful song, yet chaotic as there are many voices going at once. The song is written in Latin, which is standard to…

Petrucci and Attaingnant. Music flowed more freely from place to place and the world of music got just a bit smaller. We also talked about how printed music helped promote the artist over the music. When Petrucci published his first collection of motets, artists like Josquin des Prez gained notoriety. What other composer is so well known that all you need is their first name to know who you were talking about. The man became a musical legend, and I think the printing press helped make that…

The Renaissance period became one of the most influential and interesting periods of history. The North Renaissance primary statement conveyed a “religious change” (Fiero). Music, art, and literature began to gain notability and develop a uniqueness in its own right in the North Renaissance period. The ones who influenced music, art, and literature in this period established themselves as trail blazers for the North Renaissance era. Many musical composers joined the “civic, religious, and…

1502. In 1505 he left Ferrara upon the death of the duke and became the provost of the collegiate church of Notre Dame. Josquin was one of the first composers whose music still reigned after his death. He wrote in many musical styles such as masses, motets, secular songs, and instrumental works. His distinct style of using traditional medieval techniques along with his own innovative methods such as using canon and…

Plato once said this, “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.” Throughout history, music has widely developed and has brought its listeners to experience despair, awe, rage, or pure joy by the joining together of single notes to create complex masterpieces. Hundreds even thousands of instruments exist, each part of a family according to their sound or the way in which their sound…
