*Abstracts: 

[Bowers 2003] 

Offers solutions to the problems of ensemble, voice distribution and tempo in the performance of Ockeghem's Mass identified by E. Wickham in "Finding closure: performance issues in the Agnus Dei of Ockeghem's "Missa L'homme arme"", Early Music (31) 2 2003 pp.593-607. Some of the difficulties are primarily dilemmas of the modern ensemble director and would not have seemed problematic to Ockeghem's 15C contemporaries. (Quotes from original text)

 

[Burn 2001/08??]

Burn explores Matthieu Gascongne's "Ista est speciosa" and Mathurin Forestier's "Missa L'homme armé" as further examples of the technical challenge of "stacked canon" examined by Alan Gosman in a prior article in "Journal of Music Theory." The two pieces fill the large chronological gap between Gosman's first and second examples, and also provide substantial further dimension to an understanding of the exploitation and execution of stacked canon as a formal device. Stacked canons occur as a demonstration of a particular effort, to a variety of ends. Composers took on the task as a personal challenge, to demonstrate skill, to combat the hegemony of existing masters, and as an expression of religious devotion or conviction. Effort is also required on the part of the performer/receiver, who must solve the verbal instruction to make the piece usable, but may also have his understanding of the extant musical system tested.

[ChristleCollins 2017] 

This volume of essays draws together recent work on historical music theory of the Renaissance. The collection spans the major themes addressed by Renaissance writers on music and highlights the differing approaches to this body of work by modern scholars, including: historical and theoretical perspectives; consideration of the broader cultural context for writing about music in the Renaissance; and the dissemination of such work. Selected from a variety of sources ranging from journals, monographs and specialist edited volumes, to critical editions, translations and facsimiles, these previously published articles reflect a broad chronological and geographical span, and consider Renaissance sources that range from the overtly pedagogical to the highly speculative. Taken together, this collection enables consideration of key essays side by side aided by the editor?s introductory essay which highlights ongoing debates and offers a general framework for interpreting past and future directions in the study of historical music theory from the Renaissance.

[Dean 2013]

The L’homme armé mass by Johannes Tinctoris has been repeatedly criticized for lacking coherence, but it has scarcely been noticed that in its unique source the Tenor part in the two largest subsections of the mass, ‘Et in terra’ and ‘Patrem’, was added by a different scribe than the copyist of the other parts and the rest of the mass. If these two subsections are left aside, the remainder of the mass demonstrates several independent patterns of usage of the ‘L’homme arme’ tenor, so it is proposed that the composer’s intention was for these patterns to obtain in ‘Et in terra’ and ‘Patrem’ as well, and that the added Tenor parts are not by Tinctoris. The notation of mensural proportions in the source is shown to be entirely consistent with Tinctoris’s distinctive theory of proportions, except in one instance in which a copying error can be explained. Various scholars have noticed allusions to L’homme armé masses by other composers in Tinctoris’s mass, but only one study so far has attempted to bring these together; further references are observed, and Tinctoris’ references to the predecessors of his mass are accounted for as one dimension of varietas, a compositional principle Tinctoris had emphasized in his treatise on counterpoint.

[DeFord 2015] 

Ruth I. DeFord's book explores how tactus, mensuration, and rhythm were employed to articulate form and shape in the period from c.1420 to c.1600. Divided into two parts, the book examines the theory and practice of rhythm in relation to each other to offer new interpretations of the writings of Renaissance music theorists. In the first part, DeFord presents the theoretical evidence, introduces the manuscript sources and explains the contradictions and ambiguities in tactus theory. The second part uses theory to analyse some of the best known repertories of Renaissance music, including works by Du Fay, Ockeghem, Busnoys, Josquin, Isaac, Palestrina, and Rore, and to shed light on composers' formal and expressive uses of rhythm. DeFord's conclusions have important implications for our understanding of rhythm and for the analysis, editing, and performance of music during the Renaissance period.

[Moll 2017]

College-level courses devoted to Renaissance culture typically put a premium on incorporating primary sources and artifacts of a literary, art-historical, and historical nature. Yet the monuments of contemporaneous music continue to be marginalized as instructional resources, even though they are fully as worthy both from an aesthetic and from a historical standpoint. This study attempts to address that problem by invoking the tradition of early polyphonic masses on L'homme armé - a secular tune used as a unifying melody (cantus firmus) throughout settings of the five-movement liturgical cycle. Beginning by explaining the origins and significance of the putative monophonic tune, the paper then details how a series of composers utilized the song in interestingly varied ways in various mass settings. Subsequently it sketches out a context for mysticism in the liturgical-musical tradition of L'homme armé, and points to some compelling parallels with the contemporaneous art of panel painting, specifically as represented in the works of Rogier van der Weyden.

 [Rees 1993]

Of the three most important Spanish composers of the Renaissance – Morales, Guerrero and Victoria – it is undoubtedly Guerrero who has attracted the least musicological attention. The complete edition of his works begun in 1949 is still little more than half complete, and the only substantial published account of his life and output is over thirty years old. As this article will show, at least one major work by Guerrero has managed hitherto to slip almost entirely through the musicological net, thanks to the general concentration on printed sources of his music at the expense of manuscripts.

[Rodin 2006] 

A German parchment manuscript datable to C.1505-20 in FrankSU2, Josquin's famous Missa L'homme arme super voces musicales is preserved with a significant modification that has gone unnoticed in the musicological literature until now. Since the Benedictus is the only two-voice section in Josquin's mass, the musicians involved in the creation of FrankSU2 wanted to fill out Josquin's unusually thin texture.

[Rodin 2012]

Famous for its culture of compositional one-upmanship, the L’homme armé tradition reached an apex toward the end of the 15th century. Chapter 6 turns a microscope on Josquin’s Missa L’homme armé super voces musicales , possibly the most famous L’homme armé mass ever composed, in order to uncover points of connection with other settings. It argues that the extraordinary technical complexity that underpins Josquin’s mass has its roots in the music of Du Fay, Busnoys, de Orto, and, above all, Ockeghem, to whom Josquin’s setting can be read as both an homage and a competitive response.

[Wickham 2002]

Jean d'Ockeghem's "Missa L'homme arme" is a Mass for four voices. At no point are there more than four polyphonic lines in play. This piece poses performance challenges, which are addressed.
