Overview

This book deals with music from the later sixteenth century, the period on which Ignace Bossuyt, a professor at the Musicology Department of the University of Leuven who retured in 2007 and an internationally recognized leader in the field of later-sixteenth-century music, focused his research. Subjects discussed include newly discovered music by Philippe de Monte and Heinrich Isaac, humor in the motets of Orlando di Lasso, the beginnings of music history, compositional procedures in Renaissance music, and Tinctoris's art of listening. This book offers a wide range of methods including historiography, reception studies, source studies, music analysis, music theory, style studies, and aesthetics of music.

Reviews

By this point, the collection has brought us through an extended selection of approaches found in early music studies past and present. Much as in the wide-ranging writings of Bossuyt himself, virtually every reader in the field will find at least some familiar point of contact. Under the book's placid surface- the traditional university press production with an attractive illuminated manuscript image on the dust jacket, the historical bent of the contents list, the plates of sources and scores-lie histories and analyses, but also innovative interpretations and inroads into methodological shifts. The contented early music aficionado will derive pleasure from a rich and colorful collection of writings; the self-reflective historiographer will find challenges. Theodor Dumitrescu, Tijdschrift voor Muziektheorie/Dutch Journal of Music Theory 14/2 (2009) The self-effacing title of this Festschrift belies the great wealth of scholarship to which it bears witness. It pays fitting tribute to a scholar whose work on sixteenth-century music - on Adrian Willaert, Alexander Utendal and Orlando di Lasso, through editorial, analytical and historical studies - has been prolific and far-reaching. The variety of approaches taken in Bossuyt's own work are reflected in the diversity of offerings here. Edward Wickham, St Catharine's College, Cambridge, FONTES AR TIS MUSICAE 57/2
