		There is a report by Jerome Cardan, a physician, that Gombert was convicted of sodomizing a boy and was sentenced to the galleys; however, if this is true, he was back in Flanders by 1526, for it was then that he was employed by emperor Charles V as a singer in his court chapel.
		He and the singers certainly traveled with the emperor, since there are records of their appearances in various cities of the empire throughout the period.

		Nicolas Gombert inherited his style of imitation from these direct predecessors, and brought it to such a highly developed and flexible level, that it would pervade music for the next 200 years.
		Nicolas Gombert (c.1495-c.1560) was a singer and later master of the choirboys under the Hapsburg Emperor, Charles V. The imperial court, although based in the region of modern-day Belgium, travelled widely to maintain the Emperor's domains, especially to Spain, Austria, and southern Germany.
		Gombert, originally from south Flanders, was thus exposed to international musical currents; nevertheless, his style remained perhaps the purest expression of Northern polyphony after Josquin Des Prez.

	Nicolas Gombert
		Gombert belongs to the so-called "forgotten generation" of composers who followed Josquin and preceded Palestrina.
		Regarded as an innovator in his day, Gombert composed music, according to the 16th century German theorist Finck, "altogether different from what went before.
		For he avoids pauses, and his work is rich with full harmonies and imitative counterpoint." The musicologist Richard Crocker explains: "Gombert's style was an extreme; hardly anyone else in the 1500s wrote music of such urgency.

		Nicolas Gombert was part of the Flemish Renaissance although has been considered as a minor composer (perhaps unjustifiable).
		Gombert often doubles the bass and tenor lines, making for a very rich texture, quite unusual for this time period.
		These are also as a result of Gombert’s highly developed melodic invention which, when applied to multiple strands of texture, will almost by definition lead to dissonances and harmonic clashes.

		Though details of Gombert’s life are rather sparse it is known that he entered the service of the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, in 1526 as a singer in the Imperial Chapel.
		Throughout the recital the textures are admirably clear, the balance between the voices is judged brilliantly and the tuning is flawless.
		Even where Gombert’s textures are at their richest (which often seems to happen towards the end of a setting as extra vocal lines are added) there is no loss of clarity.

	ArkivMusic \| Gombert: Magnificats 5-8 / P. Phillips, The Tallis Scholars
		This magnificent follow-up, completing the choir's traversal of Gombert's extraordinary group of eight settings, one on each of the eight modal tones, gives as convincing an example as any as to why we never should assume that we've "heard everything" where Renaissance music is concerned.
		Gombert is a major--and unique--voice in sacred choral music of this period, and all you have to do is listen to understand his range of invention and to feel its aural and visceral effect.
		It's apparent that Gombert was not concerned so much with formality as he was with gut expression, and throughout these pieces we are constantly confronted with the sheer pleasure of sound and sensation embodied in the marvelous strings of dissonances and surprising harmonic splashes.

		Gombert was one of the leading figures of the generation between Josquin and Palestrina.
		He wrote some ten Masses, about 160 motets, eight Magnificats and sixty chansons; the tally of his sacred works shows the general ascendancy of the motet over the Mass at this period.
		One of the great polyphonists of the Renaissance, Gombert wrote in a consistently polyphonic style, based on imitative entries for each phrase of text, without variations of texture or chordal passages.

		It showcases many of the distinguishing characteristics of Gombert's style: intricate imitation, long themes, absence of rests, and an abundance of low voices.
		The most peculiar and exciting characteristic of Gombert's writing, to me, is his precocious treatment of tonality.
		An example of this can be heard most clearly at the beginning of O Beata Maria, or by comparing the treatment of the same melodic motive at the beginning of Lugebat David Absalon and the Eight-Part Credo.

		Each one of these discs is better than the last: the group's Palestrina/Victoria release of 1998 and this anthology make a marvelous introduction to the a cappella sacred music of the Renaissance.
		Jackson and his choir capture the limpid reverence of Josquin's Inviolata and the thick richness of Mouton's Nesciens mater, the melancholy of Gombert's Musae Jovis and the cheer of Victoria's Vidi speciosam, and the combination of all those qualities in Gombert's Tulerunt Dominum meum and Palestrina's Salve Regina for four high voices.

	Malaspina Great Books - Nicolas Gombert (c. 1490-1556)
		Nicolas Gombert was a Flemish (Netherlandish) composer born near Lille,; now a part of France.
		He was in service as choir master to the (Holy roman) Emperor Charles V,; with whom he travelled widely; he is thought to have been a pupil of Josquin des PrÃ©z.
		As opposed to his Italian contemporaries, who had begun work on a more animated and harmonically-oriented idiom, Gombert kept entirely within the domain of strict counterpoint,; and in fact seemed to hold the new musical developments of the time in low regard.
