Music year 1515
Crooked horns

The Krummhorn (also spelled Krumhorn or Krumphorn in old sources) is a woodwind instrument with a double reed, a cylindrically drilled tube and a wind cap. It has seven front finger holes and one thumb hole for the left thumb. The krummhorn - shown here on a picture from the Syntagma musicum by Michael Praetorius - was developed in Europe in the 15th century and is derived from a medieval instrument with a straight tube and an animal horn (from cattle or goat) at the lower end. The instrument was widely used in the 16th century. With the musical transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque in the 17th century, it fell out of fashion.

  • Although Heinrich Isaac was still a new and well paid “prepositus Capelle cantus figuralis” in 1514 and although the Habsburg court, after a temporary suspension of payments, ordered continued payment from January 27, 1515, the Roman Curia made several efforts , apparently through Leo X. . Arranged to arrange an additional pension from Lorenzo de 'Medici the Younger for the servant Heinrich Isaac, who was loyal in earlier years. The efforts are successful. Pope Leo X visits Florence from November 30, 1515 to February 19, 1516.

  • Jean Mouton is a member of King Ludwig XII's court orchestra . of France (reign 1498–1515). After the king's death on January 1, the chapel dates to King I. Franz over. Jean Mouton remains - like Antonius Divitis - in his position in the court chapel. There is evidence of Mouton's participation in the funeral services for Louis XII. on January 15, 1515. Even with his new employer, the composer soon found himself in special favor. He traveled to Italy from September / October to December 1515 in the wake of the king and worked with the court orchestra in Bologna at the meeting between King Francis and the music-loving Pope Leo X (term of office 1513–1521), who negotiated the conclusion of a concordat here . On December 17, 1515, the Pope appointed the French court conductor Antoine de Longueval (fl. 1498–1525) and Mouton as apostolic notaries, a gesture that goes back to the special appreciation of both by Leo X. Another ruler, Duke Alfonso I d'Este from Ferrara , also tried hard to compose Moutons, having met him several times before; he repeatedly urged his agents in Paris to send him works by Mouton. A personal description of Mouton has also come down to us from this period, which a certain Jean Michel wrote to his employer Sigismondo d'Este on November 15, 1515 from the French court camp: “Jean Mouton s'en a va Lorete et passera par Ferrara [... ] vous le verres et luy feres bonne chère car il merite. Oultre qu'il est verteulx c'est le plus humil qu'on saroit trouver, et bon serviteur de Dieu. Tant comme je puis le vous recommande ”(roughly equivalent to:“ Jean Mouton had gone to Loreto and is passing by Ferrara. You will see him and wish him good luck, because he deserves it. Even if he is of the coarse nature, is he is the most humble one can be found and a good servant of God. As I can only recommend him to you ”).

    Marbrianus de Orto , who has been the premier chapelain of the court orchestra of Regent Margaret of Austria in Brussels since 1510 , alternates in this office with Anthoine de Berghes until 1517. This change is related to residency obligations at other churches, after he worked as a canon at the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Antwerp (Church of Our Lady) from 1510 and in the same position at Saint-Gudule in Brussels from 1513.
  • Francisco de Peñalosa is a member of the Spanish Royal Chapel. Since 1511 he has also worked as a music teacher for the heir to the throne Ferdinand I; He served as a singer in the Spanish royal chapel until the king's death in 1516.
  • Matteo Rampollini worked from 1515 to 1520 as a singer at the Basilica di San Lorenzo church in Florence in the service of the Medici family .

  • Pierre de la Rue is - like Nicolas Champion and Marbrianus de Orto - active in the court chapel of the regent Margaret of Austria in Brussels. The composer remained at the court of the governor in Mechelen until 1516 , whose favorite composer he became and in whose honor he wrote numerous occasional compositions. When the previously underage Duke of the Burgundian Netherlands Charles (later Emperor Charles V ) was declared of legal age in 1515, the court orchestra passed to him; there is evidence of a trip with the chapel to the Netherlands. The last (presumably subsequent) salary payment to Pierre de la Rue took place on January 21, 1516; however, he may have resigned from court service as early as the summer of 1515.
  • Ludwig Senfl , who was the choirboy in the court orchestra of King Maximilian I , is likely to work as a composer for the musical arrangement of liturgical ceremonies and others after Heinrich Isaac's final leave of absence and retreat to Florence (1515), at the latest after his death (1517) Celebrations have been busy. Although he is never appointed as Isaac's official successor, he tries several times (in vain) to assert his money claims assured by Maximilian I.
  • Claudin de Sermisy works as a clergyman in the Diocese of Noyon and as a singer in the court chapel of King Ludwig XII. of France (reign 1498–1515). After the king's death on January 1, the chapel dates to King I. Franz over. Claudin de Sermisy remains - like Antonius Divitis and Jean Mouton - in his position in the court chapel. He almost certainly accompanies his employer to Italy in the summer of 1515 and sings at Mass at the meeting of King Francis with Pope Leo X in Bologna from December 11 to 15, 1515 with the royal chapel .
  • Gaspar van Weerbeke has been the singer of the papal chapel in Rome since 1500 and at least until the end of 1515. On November 1, 1515, Pope Leo X grants him the right to free benefits in the dioceses of Cambrai and Tournai , which bring him 200 gold ducats a year.
