	Adrian Willaert Summary
		Willaert grafted northern polyphony onto the simple Italian form, raising it to the artistic level of the imitative motet; at the same time he continued to write uncomplicated native forms such as the villanesca.
		Willaert's polychoral psalms of 1550 popularized this already known style of composition and influenced later composers such as Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli to the degree that Willaert was credited until recently with the invention of chori spezzati, or scoring for two antiphonal choirs.
		Willaert's most significant appointment, and one of the most significant in the musical history of the Renaissance, was his selection as maestro di cappella of St.

		Willaert's fame as a composer of sacred music rests largely on his motets.
		Willaert himself wrote a motet setting of the sequence, but the basing of the Mass on Josquin's setting rather than on his own does not invalidate his claim to authorship: one source preserving this Mass--and also a five-part Willaert Mass without a title--dates from 1530-31, whereas Willaert's motet was not printed until 1539.
		According to The New Penguin Dictionary of Music, Adrian Willaert was a Flemish composer who worked chiefly in Venice as a church musician, achieving high influence and dying there.

		Both trained in Northern Europe (Willaert was Flemish, Jacquet a Breton) and both ended up in positions of influence in Italy at roughly the same period.
		Willaert was maestro di capella of St. Mark’s Venice from 1527 to 1562 and Jachet maestro di capella of the Cathedral in Mantua from 1526 to 1559.
		Based on the fact that Jachet’s motet ‘Hesperiae ultimae’ was written for the celebrations surrounding the visit to Mantua of Prince Philip of Spain (later King Philip II), the disc is designed to be a speculative reconstruction of a mass given for Philip; as such Jachet’s parody mass celebrating the Gonzaga stables would seem appropriate.

		The result was a denser, more seamless textural fabric.The major exponents of these techniques were Nicolas Gombert, Jacob Clemens non Papa, and Adrian Willaert.
		We list Willaert last, for though he was bom before Gombert and Clemens he outlived them both, and was by a considerable margin the most progressive of the three.
		During his service as chapelmaster at St. Mark's cathedral in Venice (1527-62) Willaert moved toward a new, "Venetian" style characterized by natural declamation, sensitive though restrained expression of the text, chordally oriented counterpoint, and antiphonal writing for two choirs.

		Willaert, fiammingo di origine, studiò a Parigi e fu successivamente in Italia, dove, sino al 1525 fu al servizio degli Estensi a Ferrara.
		Il meglio della produzione di Willaert furono sicuramente i madrigali (anche se egli non compose moltissimo); in questo campo egli diede un contributo storico di grande rilevanza.
		Nel mottetto, invece, la scrittura di Willaert è ancora di tipo fiammingo, ma con una tendenza alla chiarificazione, dovuta sicuramente agli influssi italiani.

		This, and many other observations derived from the correspondences between Spataro and Aron, is discussed in greater length in Edward Lowinsky, "Adrian Willaert's Chromatic 'duo' Re-examined".
		When a melody arises from the use of diatonic tetrachords its resulting diatonicism regulates the disposition of tones and semitones so that each semitone is surrounded (if the pitch material is presented as a scale) by a minimum of two and a maximum of three undivided tones.
