Music year 1517
Rebec
The Rebec - shown here on the left on a detail of the altarpiece Pala di San Giobbe by Giovanni Bellini (1480/85) - is a forerunner of today's violin as a small violin and probably came to Central Europe via Spain in the High Middle Ages. The music theorist of the 15th century Johannes Tinctoris gives the Rebec priority over other instruments of his time and suggests using them only for sacred music.

Events

  • Konrad Rupff , who is now court conductor of Altenburg-Weimar, appoints Johann Walter, who also comes from Kahla, to be the bassist of the Saxon court orchestra in 1517 .
  • Ludwig Senfl is presumably also responsible as a composer for the musical arrangement of the liturgical ceremonies and other celebrations in the court chapel of King Maximilian I after the death of Heinrich Isaac (1517) at the latest . 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 - like Antonius Divitis and Jean Mouton - as a singer in the court orchestra of King Francis I of France. In a list of 34 royal band singers who were employed from October 1, 1517 to September 30, 1518, Sermisy's name immediately follows that of Jean Mouton.
  • Gaspar van Weerbeke , who seems to have gone to Germany towards the end of his life, is recorded as a canon on November 1, 1517 in the files of the Church of Sancta Maria ad Gradus in Mainz . He died soon afterwards in an unknown place.
  • Adrian Willaert , who was appointed to the service of Cardinal Ippolito I. d'Este from Milan on July 8, 1515 , traveled with him and his other entourage to Hungary in October 1517 and returned to Ferrara in August 1519 .

Performances

  • Probably in the period 1450-1460 around Friedberg resulting Hessian Christmas game has its first known performance in Alsfeld . Formally it is the "most scenic and liturgically least bound" game of its kind, as it consists of 870 verses. These are written in both early New High German and Latin, with the passages written in Latin consisting of stage directions and chants.
