	What’s in a name? Or rather what’s in a first name without a last name or with two last names or three? The main ...
		The biography of Josquin des Prez stands and occasionally falls on names and the annoying habit the creators of the historical and musical records of the 15th and 16th centuries had of referring to individuals only by their first names, or by the first names with a generic place of origin (‘de francia’, etc.).
		It was discovered that Josquin des Prez was a singer in the chapel of René of Anjou in Aix-en-Provence in 1477-78.
		That Josquin is called a cleric of Cambrai in those documents along with Kellman’s findings substantiated the ‘Picardy’ often given as the composer’s place of origin, although the exact place of birth could not be pinned down, and also seemed to reinforce the connection of the Milanese ‘Joschino di Picardia" and Josquin des Prez.

	From Blume’s chapter in the Josquin Proceedings
		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.
		Josquin also is contentious as evidenced by the Missa de Beata Virgine; we are told later how he and Antoine Brumel both composed Glorias de Beata Virgine (Glarean does not in fact say that it was the entire Mass), in a musical rivalry which Josquin wins.
		Josquin can survive a redefinition of his canon, as he can survive the re-evaluation of the assumption of his absolute preeminence that is long overdue, just as we will survive the fact that 20 years of his early career have suddenly disappeared from under our very noses (see chapters 000 of this Companion).

		Josquin birth date is estimated to the 1450's [2], since it appears that the Josquin mentioned as an adult in the service of Duke Galeazzo Maria Sforza in 1459 is a different person, for his family name in Latin is Kessalia, and he is the son of Honodius [3].
		Zarlino in the Supplimenti Musicali of 1588 recognized the "Josquino" of the sonnet as Josquin des Prez.

	Josquin Conference: Statement of Purpose (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Josquin des Prez is generally regarded as the most important composer of the Renaissance.
		Josquin thus appears as a stranger in his own world; the musical culture that transmitted his legacy and memory is implicitly held up to standards of philological rigor and historical accuracy which it would not have been capable of attaining even if the need for it had been perceived.
		Josquin scholarship is not committed to these latter paradigms for lack of workable alternatives, nor have proposals to explore such alternatives been lacking in recent years.

		Though it is ascribed to Josquin in two of its three sources, none of these antedates the 1530s, and its full, sumptuous texture, lacking the clearly sectionalised musical architecture generally associated with Josquin, could support a date not much earlier than its first surviving copy.
		Its credentials before that time seemed impeccable: ascribed to Josquin, it was showcased as the first piece in Ott's collection of motets, Novum et insigne opus musicum, published in 1537-8, and, with its brilliant construction around two canons at the fifth, seemed every inch the expression of the better-known composer's legendary contrapuntal brilliance.
		The four-voice De profundis has conflicting attributions to Josquin and 'Champion', presumably one of the brothers Jacques and Nicolas Champion who were employed in the Hapsburg Imperial Chapel in the first third of the sixteenth century.

		Josquin des Prez is related to WikiProject Composers which has been provided as a place for editors of biographical articles of Music Composers and Songwriters to discuss common issues, discover neglected composer articles and exchange ideas.
		I think there's no question Josquin's fame has steadily risen since 1908, especially versus Palestrina (think of the parallel example of Telemann and Bach--the Telemann article used to be longer than the Bach article in turn of the century encyclopedias, and now the reverse is the case).
		Josquin Desprez and Josquin des Prez seem to be the most common (the 2001 Grove has the latter; the 1980 Grove the former).

	Josquin Desprez - A discography
		Josquin's stylistic progression can be perceived first in a reduction of melismatic phrases and ornately spun lines to a more succinct and syllabic style built around canonic technique, and second in a more sophisticated deployment of this technique such that its structural implications are not particularly evident to the listener.
		Josquin's subsequent reputation rests both on his response to text and his development of pervasive imitation as a technique for straightforward settings able to support larger structures, leading to the sixteenth century codifications of harmony by Zarlino et al.
