Landino Clause

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Typical combination of a Landino clause in the treble with a secondary clause in the tenor

Landini cadence , also Unterterzklausel called a special treble - clause , in which the transition from the 7th level ( leading tone ) to the octave by an inserted descent to sixth (above the basic tone is) is interrupted, which is why you also from Landino-sixth speaks. Since the octave above a Terzsprung is achieved from below, explains the name Unterterzklausel . After this phrase had established itself as the basic final formula in the 13th century, it became characteristic of polyphony in the 14th century ( Francesco Landini and contemporaries) and the 15th century ( Guillaume Du Fay et al.). The Landino clause was used in German organ music until the 16th century.
