  Heinrich Glarean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heinrich Glarean (also Glareanus) (June 1488 – March 28, 1563) was a Swiss music theorist, poet and humanist.
The most significant feature of the Dodecachordon (literally, "12-stringed instrument") is Glarean's proposal that there are actually twelve modes, not eight, as had long been assumed, for instance in the works of the contemporary theorist Pietro Aron.
Glarean went so far as to say that the Ionian mode was the one most frequently used by composers in his day.

 September 5: Glarean wrote Erasmus
Known by the name Glarean, because he was born near Glarus, Switzerland, he came to Basel in 1514 as a private scholar and a proctor (supervisor) of younger men.
However, when Glarean is remembered today, it is usually because of his study of musical modes.
Glarean was friends with several of the Reformers, men such as Ulrich Zwingli and Oecolompadius.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Henry Glarean
Loriti, or Glarean, as he came to be called after 1511, from the name of the town near which he was born, received his first instruction (as did Oswald Myconius, Rudolf Agricola, and others) from Michael Rubellus, at Rottweil.
Glarean carried a recommendation from him when he started for Paris in 1517; here too, he gathered pupils around him in a bursa and entered into close scientific intercourse with Budaeus, Faber Stapulensis, and Faustus Andrelinus.

 From Blume’s chapter in the Josquin Proceedings
Here is Glarean writing in 1547, 26 years after the composer’s death, on the effects that the music of Josquin had on him and on Josquin as a person.
According to Glarean, Josquin is violently impetuous, he lacks ‘gravitas’, but this is because he is not educated and does not know how to moderate his passions and he is to be forgiven this fault because of his music.
This has usually been taken to mean that Glarean thought that Josquin was a master at expressing the meaning of the texts he set, particularly in motets, but that is not exactly what he says, and in fact, the works he actually refers to next are all Masses, where the text was always the same.

 Ionian mode   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-30)
The twelfth mode was the plagal version of the Ionian mode, called Hypionian (under Ionian), based on the same relative scale, but with the major third as its tenor, and having a melodic range from a perfect fourth below the tonic, to a perfect fifth above it.
As mediaeval monophonic church music was replaced by polyphonic music, the folk modes added by Glarean became the basis of the minor/major division of classical European music: the Ionian mode being the major mode.
The Ionian mode of Glarean is effectively the same as the ancient Greek Lydian mode and the modern major mode.

 Johannes Nucius - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Nucius, though he represented an aspect of early Baroque practice, looked mainly to the past — and sometimes the distant past — for his examples of rhetorical devices in music.
He considered Dunstable to be the earliest composer of expressive music (though earlier music may not have been available to him), and other composers he wrote about included Gilles Binchois, Antoine Busnois, Johannes Ockeghem, Heinrich Isaac, Ludwig Senfl, Josquin Desprez, and of course Lassus.
While some of his book is based on previous writings by Heinrich Glarean and Franchinus Gaffurius, the section on the rhetorical devices in music is original, and signifies the rapidly changing practice during the transitional period between Renaissance and Baroque styles.

The Swiss music theorist and biographer Heinrich Glarean, writing in 1547, noted that Févin was a follower of Josquin, and that he died young; he also mentioned him as being a composer of Orleans, though this most likely referred to the association of that city with the court of Louis XII.

Mouton may have been the editor of the illuminated manuscript known as the Medici Codex, one of the primary manuscript sources of the time, which was a wedding gift for Lorenzo de' Medici, who was Duke of Urbino.
The style of Mouton's music has superficial similarities to that of Josquin Desprez, using paired imitation, canonic techniques, and equal-voiced polyphonic writing: yet Mouton tends to write rhythmically and texturally uniform music compared to Josquin, with all the voices singing, and with relatively little textural contrast.
Around 1500, Mouton seems to have become more aware of chords and harmonic feeling, probably due to his encounter with Italian music.

 Aspects of Early Major-Minor Tonality: Chapter 5   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-30)
Music theory treatises from the first half of the seventeenth century generally adopt a presentation of the modes that derives from the sixteenth-century theorists Heinrich Glarean and Gioseffo Zarlino.
Glarean's ordering, while less logical than Zarlino's, did the least violence to the traditional modal theory.
As a result, as theorists began to move to a new conceptualization of the modes, it was most often Glarean's ordering that was taken as the basis for their work.

 The Triumphs of Maximilian
Heinrich Isaac (c.1450 - 1517), Flemish by birth, served Lorenzo de Medici as court composer from 1479 until Lorenzo's death in 1492.
The theorist Heinrich Glarean has distinguished between the skills of the Phonascus, who could invent new melodies, and the Symphonet, whose skill was in the setting of pre-composed melodies.
Germany enjoyed the skills of many fine composers in the early 16th century - Heinrich Finck and Thomas Stolzer, for example, both of whom are represented on this CD.

So in a nutshell, Glarean officially gave us the two scales that would become the foundation of almost all of our music.
Who would have guessed that within around 100 years after the publication of the Dodecachordon, church modes would be all but gone and those two weird new modes would become the core of almost every style of music in the Western hemisphere.
So the next time you're listening to your favorite Beethoven symphony or Britney's newest single, think about Glarean and his great contribution to music and thank him for the fact that you don't have to listen to "Hit me baby one more time" in the lydian mode.

 The Writings of Boethius   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-30)
The focus on counterpoint and the ecclesiatical modes in treatises after 1400 marginalized Boethius's volume to some extent, but it regained significance with the discovery and translation into Latin of ancient Greek works that Boethius had used as the basis for De institutione musica.
Franchino Gaffurio, for example, acknowledged Boethius in Theorica musice (1492) as the authoritative source on music-theoretical matters (though he did come to realize that ancient sources disagreed more than Boethius indicated), and Heinrich Glarean relied on Boethius in establishing a theory of twelve modes in the Dodekachordon (1547).
Readers today study De institutione musica in order to understand the historical evolution medieval music theory and its sources in Greek writings.

Josquin’s motet Planxit autem David, a setting of David’s lament for Saul and Jonathan based upon 2 Samuel 1:17-27, was described by Heinrich Glarean as everywhere expressing most wonderfully the mood of lamenting.
A cyclic structure is suggested by his comparison of the song to a mourner who (1) sometimes cries aloud, (2) sometimes murmurs subduedly, and (3) sometimes subsides.
These activities correspond to, respectively, (1) overt statements of the borrowed melody in long note values and the highest-sounding voice, (2) shorter quotations and paraphrases of the incipit, sometimes obvious and sometimes buried in the polyphonic texture, and (3) the absence of overt or less obvious references to the borrowed melody in some passages.
