	John Dunstable - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Even though England was a centre of musical activity, in some regards exceeding even the output of the Burgundian School, almost all of the music was destroyed between 1536 and 1540 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII.
		Dunstable was one of the first to compose masses using a single melody as cantus firmus.
		Yet because so much of the 15th century repertory of English carol is anonymous, and Dunstable is known to have written many, most scholars consider it highly likely--for stylistic as well as statistical reasons--that many of the anonymous works of this time are actually by Dunstable.

	San Francisco Bach Choir: John Dunstable
		It is widely held as true that Dunstable spent the years from 1422 to 1435 in France as a musician to the Duke of Bedford (a brother of King Henry V and Regent to France during those years).
		Musically, Dunstable’s significant contribution to the theory and practice of composition in the early Fifteenth Century was the introduction of more melodic music and outlining chords as a part of the melody.
		Dunstable is well known for his combination of the sequence “Veni sancte spiritus” with the hymn “Veni creator.” This four-part motet is one of his most famous pieces.

		Beyond that, the inscription of his epitaph describes his different professions, and in a book on astronomy in St John's College, Cambridge, he states in his own hand that he was a musician in the service of the Duke of Bedford.
		Fifty-five works that are normally considered as by Dunstable survive, including two complete Masses (one isorhythmic) and several paired and single Mass sections, a large number of motets, and possibly two secular songs.
		Thus all that we have of his music is in the form of liturgical or votive church music; what may be counted as secular music amounts to so little that even the most celebrated 'O rosa bella' is not his for certain.

	John Dunstable Biography / Biography of John Dunstable Biography
		Contemporary documentation of John Dunstable's life is sparse.
		From his tombstone, which was in St. Stephen Walbrook, London, until it was destroyed in the Great Fire, it is known that he died on Dec. 24, 1453, and that he was also a mathematician and astronomer.
		In a general way, the isorhythmic motets, with their rigidly structured formal frameworks and general harmonic style, look back to techniques popular in the 14th century, and such harmonizations of liturgical melodies as the Magnificat secundi toni and Ave Regina celorum are clear descendants of late-14th century English descant settings.

		Recognition of Dunstable as one of England's eminent composers in the fifteenth century is demonstrated by the references to him both during his life and after.
		His music was most often written for three voices (occasionally four) and the tenor carried the lowest part for three-voiced compositions.
		Dunstable wrote using isorhythms, plainsongs without isorhythms, lucid textual presentations, liberated melodic lines from two other parts which were often slower in movement, triple timing, pairings of the mass movements through the tenor line, and predominantly major sounding harmonies.

		The anonymous author of the liner notes emphasizes quite rightly the 'otherness' of this music, which he sees as more nearly related to non-Western and minimalistic music than to the music of the Renaissance or the Baroque.
		The singing is spectacular, with the loudest praise going to David James and Paul Elliott whose high voices carry the most of the melody in these three- and four-part motets.
		Dunstable is a real melodist, the pieces collected here are beautiful beyond belief.

		Here, it's composers such as John Pyamour, John Plummer, John Trouluffe, and Richard Mowere, in addition to better known names such as John Dunstable and Walter Lambe (as well as a few entries from "anonymous"), in music (primarily votive antiphons) that shows considerable freedom of invention and exceptional rhythmic vitality.
		Among the most beautiful works is Tota pulcra es by a composer identified only by the last name Forest (a good bet is that his first name was "John"!), whose rich harmony and gently flowing melody seem to perfectly suit the Orlando Consort voices.
		Dunstable's isorhythmic motet Salve scema sanctitatis is not as "pretty" but rather is primarily impressive for its dizzyingly complex rhythms and for the virtuosity of the four singers' performance.

		The discrepancy between the work's size and weight gives the impression that a very large piece is being looked at through the wrong end of a telescope, creating a fascinating perceptual distortion.
		The first movement is a transcription, more or less 'straight', of John Dunstable's original work.
		The second movement is a free fantasia upon this, making frequent reference to the original by quotation, and performance should bring to the fore the ever-shifting perspectives between the sound-worlds of Dunstable and of the new music.
