II. Renaissance in Review: Placing the Ars Perfecta historically Early Ren1. Dufay Binchois Ockeghem, Busnois and Contemporaries High3. Josquin and Contemporaries Arcadelt, Gombert, Willaert LateARS PERFECTA Palestrina, Lasso, Victoria, Byrd A. Chronology: Stable Features?Changing Features? 1.Performing Forces? 2.Texture? 3.Tempo (Fast – Slow – Moderate)? 4.Tempo (Steady Pulses or Fluctuating)? 5.Number of Different Voices? 6.Amount of Dissonance? 7.Amount of Imitation? 8.Phrases clearly set off or “Run on”?

III. Placing the Ars Perfecta Musically 1. Stable Traits from Early to Late 2. Changing Traits increasing preference for more voices (fuller textures) 3. Imitative polyphony in many voices + careful control of dissonances= A “Perfect Art” texture: polyphony; some homophonic texture performance style: a cappella phrases: seamless, no sharp breaks, stops, or silences tempo: moderate and steady pulse increasing control of dissonance increasing use of imitation

IV. Sacred Music and Catholic Liturgy A. Mass vs. Offices (Hours) B. Proper of the Mass vs. Ordinary of the Mass (see Wright, p. 83) C. The Texts of the Ordinary Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Agnus Dei D.Masses often take titles from borrowed music: cantus firmus, paraphrase, parody (a.k.a. imitation Mass) Sanctus from the Mass, Eternal Gifts of Christ by Palestrina *Ite missa est (rarely set as polyphony)

V. Palestrina and the Counter-Reformation A. Council of Trent, B. Controversies Surrounding Music C. Palestrina and the Myth of the Pope Marcellus Mass Lack of standardization Use of profane melodies in cantus firmus compositions Complicated imitative polyphony renders sacred words unintelligible

No problemo!

Palestrina, Pope Marcellus Mass, Gloria Et in terra pax hominibus, bonae voluntatis, Laudamus te, benedicimus te, adoramus te, glorificamus te Gratias agimus tibi, propter magnum gloriam tuam...

Palestrina, Pope Marcellus Mass: Agnus Dei

VII. A Perfect Art: The Musical Style of Palestrina and the Late Renaissance A. Melody B. Harmony C. Dissonance

Suspension: 1.Preceded by Consonance (Cons) 2. 1 voice “hangs onto” its note while other voice moves (Diss) 3. Suspended note “catches up” resolves down by step (Cons) (Finetti Suspensions)

V. A Perfect Art: The Musical Style of Palestrina and the Late Renaissance A. Melody B. Harmony C. Dissonance Treatment D. Texture E. Pulse or Beat

Holy, Holy, Holy, Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory.

Wright Textbook, p. 100: Even today, courses for advanced music students include practice in composing in the pure contrapuntally correct style of Palestrina. Thus, the spirit of the Counter-Reformation continued to influence musicians long after the Renaissance had come to an end.
