 | | McKinney, Timothy R. (Baylor University), Exempli Gratia: The Musical Debate between Nicola Vicentino and Ghiselin Danckerts |
 | | The famous 1551 debate between Nicola Vicentino and Vicente Lusitano concerned whether contemporary music was written in the diatonic genus, as Lusitano claimed, or whether it represented a mixture of the genera, as Vicentino maintained. |
 | | The judges ruled against Vicentino, who in 1555 published a full exposition of his views on the genera and a description of the debate and its aftermath, prompting an unpublished response from Ghiselin Danckerts, one of the judges. |
