    1) According to a 15th century music theorist, the most worthwhile music was written after 1440. 2) Josquin Desprez, a Flemish composer active between 1440-1521, was considered the first "great composer" by his contemporaries and later generations for developing a new approach to composition focused on imitative counterpoint. 3) During the Renaissance, music became more vertically organized compared to the previous era, with composers exercising more careful control of dissonance and favoring triadic harmonies and intervals like thirds and sixths over perfect fourths and fifths.

    Music in the

    Renaissance

    According to a theorist
    writing in 1475, no music
    worth hearing had been
    written before 1440 . . .

    a piece by Josquin

    Josquin Desprez (des Prez)


    1st Great Composer glorified by
    contemporary and following generations
    new approach to composition?

    Jos Canh
    duh Pray

    Add a third
    active line that
    goes well with
    the cantus
    firmus and the
    other line

    The Old Way

    Start with a bit of


    chant a cantus
    firmus

    Add a nice active line that


    goes well with the cantus
    firmus

    The Emerging Way?

    Still very linear in conception,


    especially in its emphasis on IMITATIVE
    COUNTERPOINT, but more vertical in
    organization? (Careful control of
    dissonance; favoring triads.)

    Compared to Ars Nova . . .


    more careful handling of dissonance
    more respect for the mode (less
    chromatic)
    sweeter sound world favors the
    warm or sweet sound of 3rds & 6ths
    (intervals)
    instead of the stark,
    empty sounds of
    perfect 4ths & 5ths

    Josquin listening example


    KEY INFO:
    motet -- Ave Maria . . . Virgo Serena, 1502,
    Josquin (c. 1440-1521)

    1480

    Imitative counterpoint
    canon the same melody appears in
    different voices, overlapping due to
    staggered starting times

    Extra info: listen for LINE and the careful handling of


    dissonance. The shift to triple time and then back to
    duple near the end of a work is characteristic of many
    Renaissance works. The opening melody is based on a
    chant fragment, but most of the work is freely invented
