Events

  • Antoine Brumel is the conductor at the court orchestra of the d'Este family in Ferrara . The lifelong contract includes an annual benefice of 100 ducats, an annual salary of the same amount, the use of a house in Ferrara and money for travel.
  • Hans Buchner , cathedral organist at the Cathedral of Our Lady in Constance , is also in demand as an organ expert. In 1507 he was invited to Zurich for an organ rehearsal.
  • Marco Cara has been a lute virtuoso in the service of the Gonzaga family in Mantua since 1495 and until 1525 , who promoted artists of all kinds in his day.
  • After the death of Duke Philip the Handsome and the dissolution of his Grande Chapelle, Nicolas Champion entered the service of the successor chapel of his widow, Joanna of Castile . Johanna, nicknamed "the mad one", apparently cannot get over the death of her husband Philipp even after a long time, organizes a funeral procession around the castle every night for two years, with the coffin with the corpse of Philip being carried and with him the choir also has to sing requiems every night ; one of these singers is Nicolas Champion.
  • Loyset Compère composed - in the conflict between King Louis XII. (Reign 1498–1515) and Pope Julius II (reign 1503–1515) because of an uprising in Genoa against the Pope - probably 1507 the motet “ Sola caret monstris ” with polemical content in favor of the French king.
  • Josquin Desprez has been provost at his former place of work in Condé-sur-l'Escaut since 1504 . He is referred to as monsieur le prevost messire Josse des pres . The position is attractive for the former music director not only for its local property ownership, but even more because of the good staffing the church and the quality of the local music exercise, second only to the cathedral in Cambrai and Saint-Vincent in Soignies exceeded becomes. The provost here (according to a list from 1523) holds the secular power in the parish and is the superior of the dean , the treasurer, 25 canons, 18 chaplains, 16 vicars and six choirboys, plus some priests without benefices; A choir of vicars and choirboys usually takes part in the lavishly designed church services, so that up to 22 music-trained voices are available and up to six-part works can be performed.
  • Antonius Divitis - like Nicolas Champion - entered the service of the successor chapel of his widow, Joanna of Castile , after the death of Duke Philip the Fair and the dissolution of his Grande Chapelle . He will continue to perform this task until 1508.
  • Pedro de Escobar was ordered back to the cathedral chapter of Seville and took over the post of Magister Puerorum at the cathedral until his resignation in 1514.
  • Sebastian von Felsztyn studied in Krakow from 1507 to 1509 .
  • Antoine de Févin , whose father Pierre de Févin died in 1506, presumably lives in Paris and has a job at the French royal court or is at least associated with this institution. There is only one document for this, however, a letter from Asti in northern Italy, where King Ludwig XII. writes to France on April 18, 1507, that portraits of a Parisian painter and one of Févin's excellent chansons should be sent to him as soon as they have been completed, to be shown to the ladies in Italy.
  • Johannes Ghiselin , who left the farm of the d'Este family in Ferrara in 1505 after the outbreak of the plague, is a member of the Onze Lieve Vrouwe (Our Lady) brotherhood in Bergen op Zoom in Flanders . This shows a Brotherhood payroll, with the amount paid out indicating membership for at least a year. The Brotherhood's payrolls for the years 1508-1510 have been lost, and his name no longer appears on the 1511 list. Since no other works by him have appeared since 1505, it can be concluded that Ghiselin died between 1507 and 1511.
  • Paul Hofhaimer , who moved to Passau before 1504, settled in Augsburg , the "secret capital" of Emperor Maximilian I , where he worked as a freelancer under his favor.
  • Heinrich Isaac stayed in Constance from 1507 to 1508 and composed a cycle of offices for the cathedral choir . One of the highlights of his career is the Reichstag held in Constance from April to July 1507 . For this he composed the motets “ Sancti Spiritus assit ”, “ Imperii proceres ” and especially the impressive six-part motet “ Virgo prudentissima ”, which will presumably be premiered during the Reichstag in Constance.
  • Anton Musa studied in Erfurt , where he acquired the Baccalaureat in 1507 . At the University of Erfurt he made contact with humanistic circles around Mutianus Rufus , Eobanus Hessus, Johann Lange and Justus Jonas the Elder .
  • Marbrianus de Orto - like Nicolas Champion and Antonius Divitis - entered the service of the successor chapel of his widow, Joanna of Castile , after the death of Duke Philip the Fair and the dissolution of his Grande Chapelle . Here he worked as Kapellmeister until 1508.
    • Johannes Prioris , who may have been a member of the French court orchestra since the end of the 1480s, is verifiably Kapellmeister ( maître de chapelle ) of the court orchestra from 1503 to 1512 . The royal court chronicler Jehan d'Authon (around 1466–1527) reports on the maître de chapelle Prioris , who met King Louis XII. staying there at the siege of Genoa in 1507.
  • After the death of Adam Singer ( Adam von Fulda ), Adam Rener took over the direction of the court orchestra at the Electoral Saxon court from Friedrich the Wise in Torgau in 1507 , which in the following years developed into an important center of church music under him. The evidence of his activity in Torgau ends in 1517.
  • Jean Richafort was appointed maître du chant (choirmaster) at St. Romboud's church in Mechelen in 1507 . In the archives of the chapter of this church there is also a note that during his tenure as Magister two brothers of his, Guillaume and François Richafort, were admitted to the choir.
  • Pierre de la Rue - like Nicolas Champion, Antonius Divitis and Marbrianus de Orto - entered the service of the successor chapel of his widow, Joanna of Castile , after the death of Duke Philip the Fair and the dissolution of his Grande Chapelle . After the departure of the former conductor Marbriano de Orto, Pierre moves up to his position and receives twice as high a salary as the other members of the court orchestra. He performed this task until 1508.
  • Francesco Spinacino publishes his works for lute in the two lute books Intabulatura de Lauto , published by Ottaviano dei Petrucci in Venice . These are the first ever printed books for the lute. They contain 27 ricercari , 2 bassedance and 52 lute arrangements. In an arrangement for two lutes by Johannes Ghiselins Joli Amours , the term "Recercare" is used for the first time. Both books contain a brief introduction to tablature notation.
  • Petrus Tritonius sets - at the suggestion of the humanist Conrad Celtis - a selection of Horazoden four-part homorhythmic in the "note against note" principle ( Discantus ), whereby he strictly adheres to the classical meters of Horace in the musical meters . The work published by Erhard Oeglin in Augsburg in 1507 with the title Melopoiae sive harmoniae tetracenticae super XXII genera carminum Heroicorum Elegiacorum Lyricorum et ecclesiasticorum hymnorum contains 22 Latin meters , 19 of them with texts by Horace, one each for Catullus , Martial and Ovid . At the end of the lecture, Celtis has his students sing the Horazodes set to music by Tritonius in order to convey the lengths of the meters and the accent stress. The first edition of the work is considered to be the first known German-language sheet music printing with movable types (type double printing in mensural notation ). The "Melopoiae" were considered exemplary and influenced German composers of the 16th century such as Paul Hofhaimer and Ludwig Senfl .
