[…] in the tenor. The use of talea was invented in the Middle Ages, was used by composers like Guillaume de Machaut, and was supposed to give certain structure to the musical piece. That’s how Dufay wrote his motets and masses early on. He dropped this device to write freer and more melodic music later in his career. Here’s Dufay’s early isorhythmic motet, Vasilissa ergo gaude (Therefore rejoice, princess) from about 1420. It’s performed by the Huelgas Ensemble, Paul Van Nevel conducting.

Charles’s lands stretched from the Netherlands and Flanders to Spain, Austria, some German states and Italy, and he traveled extensively. Gombert accompanied the emperor on his trips, being “Master of the boys” of the court chapel. As he visited different countries, his fame grew, with his music being […]
