 GOLDBERG: Gallus, JacobusGallus, JacobusGallus, Jacobus
Gallus wrote at a period when the common language of composers, the perfected fine art carried by the French-Flemish to the four corners of Europe, was beginning to diversify dialects difficult to reconcile among themselves.
In his preface, Gallus indeed devotes some familiar words to protest the fact that, all the same, he had wished to write nothing contrary to good manners: it is truly a wind of characteristic liberty that blows on his work, a liberty so characteristic of the Prague in which he lived.
Gallus was one of the virtually obligatory references in places in Central and North Germany where there was an attempt to define the conditions of a “well composed” piece of music, that is to say conforming to the rules of counterpoint while being expressive as to the perception of the text’s meaning.

 San Francisco Bach Choir: Jacobus Handl
A composer of Slovenian birth, Jacobus Handl, known as Gallus, spent most of his professional life in the service of the Catholic Church in Austria.
However, the complexity of his music was also criticized during his lifetime by others, such that in one of his published collections he felt obliged to defend the number of voices in his polychoral works.
His skill in moving back and forth between double and triple meter and in using word accents to enhance rhythmic variety enabled him to create moments of excitement or serenity within the relatively static harmony and dense polyphonic texture characteristic of the style in which he wrote.

The cause is not art, but the spring of the press and the imprinting power are broken.
During this time, my dear friends exclaim: ‘Temper your worries with some rejoicing’...” When Jacobus Gallus wrote these lines, in 1589, he was a man worn out, old before his age, undermined by vigils, insomnia and work.
His brother Georg would say it again some years later: Gallus was submerged by the requests of his friends, who all sent him texts to set to music.
