Om The Art of Counterpoint from Du Fay to Josquin

Offering sweeping insights and challenging conclusions, this book revolutionizes our understanding of the musical revolution of the fifteenth century. Renaissance composers developed fresh ways of manipulating musical flow in pursuit of intensifications, unexpected explosions, dramatic pauses, and sudden evaporations. A new aesthetics of opposition, as this study calls it, can be contrasted with smoother and less goal-oriented approaches in music from before-and after-the period ca. 1425-1520. Casting wide evidentiary and repertorial nets, the book reinterprets central genres, theoretical concepts, historical documents, famous pieces, and periodizations; a provocative concluding chapter suggests that we moderns have tended to conceal the period's musical poetics by neglecting central evidence Above all the book introduces an analytical approach sensitive to musical flow, and invites new ways of hearing, performing, and thinking about music from Du Fay to Josquin.
