		Jacob Obrecht was one of the primary composers responsible for significant changes in musical style during the late fifteenth century.
		Obrecht's innovations also touched the realm of sonority, where he reaffirmed the prominence of reduced scoring passages, and pioneered a lighter sound-world in which changes in the number of active voices served to continue a broader musical argument without being ends in themselves.
		Obrecht can be perceived as a happy - even carefree - man in his music, and it is this sense of living for the moment which must color any view of his lapses of responsibility, rather than stereotypical thoughts of the intransigent artist.

	Jacob Obrecht, composer, biography, discography
		Jacob Obrecht was born in Ghent in 1457 or 1458.
		(A different Jacob Obrecht, son of Jacob, was enrolled at Louvain in 1470, a source of confusion until the composer’s father’s name Willem was established.) There is, however, a plausible connection with the university at Naples, where the prince of Aragon, Ferrante (or Ferdinand), had become king in 1458.
		It is quite possible that Willem Obrecht accompanied the mission that conferred the honor on Ferrante in 1475, and it is at least possible that Jacob Obrecht went there to study at the university about this time.

	Gimell CDGIM 032 Notes
		Jacob Obrecht (1457/8-1505) was born in Ghent and died in Ferrara.
		It is the impression which Obrecht gives of having had an inexhaustible supply of these motifs and melodic ideas, free or derived, that gives this piece so much of its vitality.
		We shall never know exactly what Obrecht was hoping to prove in it, but by going to the extremes he did he set his contemporaries a challenge in a certain kind of technique which they proved unable or unwilling to rival.

	Portrait of Jacob Obrecht by MEMLING, Hans
		This portrait represents the renowned composer Jacob Obrecht.
		The artist and the subject was identified on the basis of a number of correspondences, including the year, the man's age, the inscription with his name, the fact that he is attired as a priest, and the very high quality of the painting, which suggests an artist of a stature to match the composer's own.
		Jacob Obrecht has longish chestnut-brown hair, fairly robust features, and wears a transparent surplice over a brownish toga.

		Jacob Obrecht (Ghent 1457/1458 — Ferrara 1505) was a natural talent: in a short period of time, he developed into a composer of exceptional quality who was greatly admired by his contemporaries, even though his career —like that of many polyphonists- did evolve rather erratically.
		Obrecht was a particularly accomplished composer of mass cycles: he created at least thirty.
		In addition, Obrecht made an exceptional contribution to the repertoire of instrumental adaptations of Flemish songs, polyphonic arrangements of which often only the opening words have survived.

		Sometimes he takes his source material and divides it up into short phrases; sometimes heuses retrograded versions of complete melodies, or melodic bits; in onecase he even extracts the component notes and orders them by note value, long to short, constructing new melodic material fromthe reordered sequences of notes.
		Though he was renowned in his time, Obrecht had little inflence on subsequent generations: most likely he simply went out offashion.
		The superabundant inventiveness seen in his works is an interesting analogue to the contemporary style of painting,shown most famously by Hieronymus Bosch (also born in 1450).

		Obrecht was born in Ghent, the son of a Burgundian court trumpeter, Willem Obrecht.
		Obrecht's rigorous use of cantus firmus layout may be his most immediately observable trait, but it is his music's seamless progression from small- to large-scale elements and arguments, with seeming indifference to what appear on paper to be oppressive formal constraints, which is its most compelling quality.

	The Friends of Chamber Music
		One of the most eminent composers of the late 15th Century, Jacob Obrecht is considered second only to his contemporary, Josquin Desprez.
		Obrecht, whose works represented the culmination of Medieval composition, was also writing on the cusp of a bright new secular world where the Church's authority was being radically challenged and where the secular and profane were no longer hidden beneath layers of the sacred.
		Piffaro performs music of the late Medieval and Renaissance periods on a large and varied collection of early wind instruments, plucked strings and percussion and is modeled after the official civic, chapel and court bands that were the premier professional ensembles from the 14th into the early 17th Centuries.

		In his note for the recording Peter Phillips writes: "How it was possible for Obrecht to conceive something so completely outside the normal experience of his time is one of the most fascinating riddles in Renaissance music".
		The life of Obrecht is of equal fascination.

		Obrecht's Missa Sub tuum praesidium is one of the most intriguint and ingenious mass settings of the early Renaissance.
		With a cantus firmus that is repeated in the same note values throughout, and a scoring which increases from three to seven voices during the course of the cycle, it wears its cleverness but also its beauty, on its sleeve.
		The mass is accompanied by some of Obrecht's most celebrated motets, including a lament for Jacob's father Guillermus, and a moving works for Lent and Advent.

		The final melisma on the word "caput" in the antiphon "Venit ad Petrum" for the ceremony of the washing of the feet on Maundy Thursday in the Sarum rite is the source of the cantus firmus for masses by Dufay, Ockeghem, and Obrecht.
		The mass by Jacob Obrecht was probably written between 1483 and 1485, when he was magister puerorum at Cambrai.
		Instead of the large-scale formal organization found in the Dufay mass, Obrecht's mass establishes a progression from movement to movement governed only by the successive shifts of the cantus firmus.

	Ars Nova - Reviews -> Selected reviews
		JACOB OBRECHT hasn't been in the charts since 1480, when the music theorist Johannes Tinctoris included him among the ten most significant composers of the fifteenth century.
		The great bulk, though, was by Master Obrecht himself, and it was very, very beautiful, both the polyphonic motets and the great mass Sub tuum praesidium which almost lowered a celestial ladder from the church loft for people to go home on after the concert.
		Jacob Obrecht was one of the first examples, but far from the last, of how rare it is for anything good to come out of overtaxing great artists with administrative burdens.

		(In fact, Obrecht was Josquin's successor at the court of the Duke of Ferrara).
		Obrecht's music has a wide expressive range, from somber to serene to jubilant, with rhapsodic, often soaring melodies.

		Arcadelt Jacques Arcadelt (also Jacob Arcadelt) (1504 or 1505 — October 14, 1568) was a Franco-Flemish composer of the middle to late Renaissance, principally of madrigals and chansons.
		Towards the end of the 15th century, polyphonic sacred music (as exemplified in the masses of Johannes Ockeghem and Jacob Obrecht) had once again become more complex, in a manner that can perhaps be seen as correlating to the stunning detail in the painting at the time.
