(22) The sanctity of text: Josquin des Prez= pg. 209-210

AB
Music of Ockeghem and BusnoysInterweaves old and new elements= Represents last climax of medieval thinking in their use of the FORMES FIXES (in their long, winding phrases, and in such feats as the mensuration canons in "Missa Prolationum")= Yet their music's expanded range, greater equality of vocies, increased use of imitation, and freer treatment of borrowed material exemplify new traits that become typical of next century
JosquinJosquin and his generation worked with new freedom in a polyphonic idiom based on equal, vocally conceived lines, moving now in points of imitation, now in homophony, responding to the shape/accentuation/meaning of the text
Josquin vs Ockeghem and BusnoysLike ockeghem and Busnoys, Josquin was acclaimed in life and after death...but Josquin's music continued in circulation far longer, because the stylistic changes he helped to introduce made earlier music sound old-fashioned
Josquin: Surviving through history...Josquin and his generation is still with us...present in attentive text-setting, imitative and homophonic textures, and rules of counterpoint and voice-leading practiced by composers over the next several centuries= the emotional expressivity and vivid imagery of their music set standard for succeeding generations
