	Josquin Des Prez - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Josquin was born in the area controlled by the Dukes of Burgundy, and was possibly born either in Hainaut (modern-day Belgium), or immediately across the border in modern-day France, since several times in his life he was classified legally as a Frenchman (for instance, when he made his will).
		Josquin was long mistaken for a man with a similar name, Josquin de Kessalia, born around 1440, who sang in Milan from 1459 to 1474, dying in 1498.
		Josquin's fame was overshadowed by Palestrina and his school until the 20th century, but his reputation has grown steadily for the last hundred years, and Josquin's music is often sung and recorded today.

	Josquin Desprez (ca. 1440 - 1521): Life, Works, Recordings, Resources.
		Josquin Desprez (c.1440/55-1521) is widely regarded as one of the finest and most influential composers in the history of Western music.
		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 lofty posthumous reputation was reflected both in the widespread survival of his substantial and varied output as well as in many misattributions, intentional and otherwise.

	The Age of Josquin Desprez
		He brought together a new compositional technique of imitation, where one voice sings the same melody as another after a delay, as in a round, with a new clarity of text expression and a strict control of harmony and thereby set the music language for the entire sixteenth century and, in many ways, far beyond.
		Josquin himself is represented by three of his most famous works.
		The cantus firmus technique was standard in Josquin's early days but by 1516 was considered old fashioned, and one cannot help but think that Josquin is looking back, while composing in his late years, on a tremendous career.

		Josquin was arguably the greatest of Renaissance composers.
		It's fascinating to follow the development of Josquin's language from medieval decorative artifice - in Ut Phoebi radiis, for instance - to the intensely expressive polyphony of De profundis clamavi, where structure and emotion are as one.
		"Josquin Desprez (c1455-1521) was one of the greatest of renaissance polyphonists, and the Orlando Consort's scrupulous performances of some of his most magnificent achievements, using new and specially prepared editions of the motets, do full justice to his invention and imagination.

	Josquin Des Prez: Biography, Articles
		Josquin was born probably in France, since just before he died he declared that he was a foreigner in Conde, stating that he was from over the Eau Noire, which formed the southern border between Hainaut and France.
		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].
		Josquin may have very well been a student of Ockeghem as was stated by Zarlino [6], and not less than five early works by Josquin refers to those of Ockeghem.

	classical music - andante - josquin desprez and his time
		With the Hilliard Ensemble as artists-in-residence, Laus Polyphoniae 2001 is focusing on the music of Josquin Desprez, acknowledged both in his own time and today as the supreme master of Franco-Flemish polyphony, with secondary emphasis on Josquin's contemporary, the prolific Heinrich Isaac.
		While Josquin and Isaac were the twin monarchs of music in their era, their styles are rather different.
		Josquin built his music around imitation among the voices, often using short, easily identifiable phrases, and he was fond of extended sections for three or even two voices; Isaac generally preferred fuller textures, and his melodic lines are often (especially in the Virgo prudentissima works) extravagant and exuberant.

		It seems however certain that Josquin passed several years in the service of the Sforza's, until 1477 in Milan, and as a companion of Cardinal Ascanio when the latter was exiled from the city.
		The aspect of Josquin's art that fostered such a furor among his contemporaries was its remarkable expressivity: to a far greater extent than anyone before him Josquin attempted to convey the meanings of the words he set.
		More than this, Josquin asks 200 ducats while Isaac is pleased with 120." The Duke rejected this advice and hired Josquin, who emerges as the Beethoven of his time, a man who knew his own worth and wrote what and for whom he pleased.

	Josquin Desprez
		Josquin was the greatest composer of the high Renaissance, the most varied in invention and the most profound in expression.
		One of the earliest, L'ami Baudichon, is a cantus firmus mass on a simple dance formula; the simplicity of melody and rhythm and the clarity of harmony and texture recall the Burgundian style of the 1450s and 1460s.
		Probably the most important composer before the second half of the 16th century, Josquin is especially noted for the expressive nature of his music, a trait that broke with the medieval tradition of more abstract music.
