Music year 1539
Isabel de Este
The patroness and art collector Isabella d'Este - seen here in a rejuvenating picture by the painter Titian from 1536 - dies in 1539 at the age of 64. She is considered one of the most influential women of the Italian Renaissance (“La prima donna del mondo”). In music she supported the composers Bartolomeo Tromboncino and Marco Cara .

Events

  • Benedictus Appenzeller has been a singer at the Habsburg court of the regent Maria of Hungary in Brussels since 1536 and head of the choirboys ( maître des enfants ) since 1537 .
  • Jakob Arcadelt is the singer of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome . From January 1539, a Jacobus Flandrus is led here in the Capella Giulia (with a very high probability Arcadelt); but because the singers' lists of this band for 1537 and 1538 have been lost, this membership could have existed before 1539. In the madrigal books published during the Florentine period, his works are also mixed with those of Francesco Corteccia , Francesco de Layolle and Jacquet de Berchem (Florentine and northern Italian repertoire), while in the third and fourth madrigal books from autumn 1539 Arcadelt's pieces are mainly composed with compositions by Costanzo Festa (Roman repertoire) appear. This is also a support for the assumption that Arcadelt was in Rome from 1539 at the latest.
  • Pietro Aron is a monk in a Kreuzherrenkloster near Bergamo .
  • Pierre Attaingnant , who invented a variant of sheet music printing around 1527/1528 that allowed printing in one operation, published more than 50 collections of chansons and some “dance books” between 1528 and 1552.
  • Antoine Barbé has - according to the files of the Cathedral of Antwerp - from 1527 to 1562 held the position of Kapellmeister.
  • Leonardo Barré , a pupil of Adrian Willaert in Venice , has been a singer in the papal chapel in Rome since 1537 . He retained this position until 1555.
  • Eustorg de Beaulieu , of 1,537 to Protestantism converted and Lyon fled to Geneva, studied at the Academy of Lausanne Theology .
  • Arnold von Bruck has been Kapellmeister of the Austrian regent Archduke Ferdinand (later King and Emperor Ferdinand I ) in Vienna since the second half of 1527 , as successor to Heinrich Finck . He has retained this position for over 18 years. The Viennese court orchestra is considered a prominent institution in the Austro-Habsburg music world, and Arnold von Bruck enjoys a special reputation as director of this band.
  • Joan Brudieu , who in 1538 as a young singer and conductor at the cathedral of La Seu d'Urgell has come obtains 1539 by the chapter the offer to take over the Kapellmeister. He retained this position - with interruptions - until shortly before his death in 1591.
  • The reformer Johannes Calvin , who got to know the genre of the psalm song in Strasbourg , published a collection of psalm songs by Clément Marot as well as his own psalm poems, the Geneva psalter or Huguenot psalter . The collection is supplemented by the Ten Commandments and the hymn of praise of Simeon ( Nunc dimittis ).
  • Cornelius Canis is documented in 1539 or 1540 as one of 24 collegiate canons at St. Bavo Abbey in Ghent .
  • Pierre Certon has worked at Notre-Dame in Paris since 1529 .
  • Francesco Corteccia , who was organist at San Lorenzo in Florence from 1531 , entered the service of the de 'Medici family in 1539 and held the position of conductor at the court of Duke Cosimo I.
  • Ghiselin Danckerts was the singer of the papal chapel in Rome from 1538 to 1565 .
  • Jehan Daniel is the organist at Angers Cathedral . He held this position until 1540.
  • Jean De Latre was singing master ( maître de chant ) of the collegiate monastery Saint-Jean l'Evangeliste in Liège in 1538 and 1539 . This emerges from the lists of the collegiate foundation. Because the lists before and after these years are lost, it is possible that he worked there before 1538 and after 1539.
  • Benedictus Ducis was a Protestant pastor in Schalkstetten from 1535 until his death in 1544 .
  • Ludovicus Episcopius studied at the Artes Faculty of the University of Leuven from 1538 and completed his studies there as a theologian in 1541 .
  • Georg Forster , who in Wittenberg studied medicine, acts after his graduation in 1539 temporarily in Würzburg and then in Heid Elberg the personal physician of the Count Palatine Wolfgang , Duke of Zweibrücken.
  • The compositions handed down by Henry Fresneau allow the conclusion that he worked in Lyon from 1538 to 1554 .
  • Antonio Gardano , who has lived in Venice since 1532 and founded a music publisher and printer there, published around 450 publications between 1538 and 1569, mainly madrigals and sacred music. Of the 388 remaining prints, only two are non-musical.
  • Nicolas Gombert , who had been a member of the court orchestra of Emperor Charles V since 1526 and maitre des enfants since 1529 , no longer appears in the invoices of the imperial court after 1538. The Italian humanist Hieronymus Cardanus (1501–1576) wrote in two of his publications that Gombert had been sentenced to galley penalty for sexual offenses against one of the choirboys . By dedicating a series of compositions, he later obtained his pardon from Charles V after Cardanus accepted it. For a long time, music historians considered the eight Magnificat cycles to be Gombert's petition for mercy; in the meantime, a letter from Gombert to Ferrante I. Gonzaga from 1547 and other temporal references suggest that the first book of the four-part motets , published in Venice in 1539, brought about this pardon and that Gombert might not even have to face the sentence.
  • Matthias Greitter has been a music teacher at the Collegium Argentinense , the forerunner of the Strasbourg University , since 1538 .
  • Lupus Hellinck is succentor at the Church of Our Lady in Bruges and since June 17, 1523 at the main church of St. Donatian, which is connected with the tasks of choir direction and teaching the choirboys.

  • Gheerkin de Hondt , who worked as a singing master at the Church of St. Jacob in Bruges from 1532 to 1539 , was recruited as singing master by the Marienbruderschaft ( Illustre Lieve Vrouwe Broederschap ) in 's-Hertogenbosch in September 1539 ; there he began his service on December 31, 1539.
  • Clément Janequin has been music director of Angers Cathedral since 1534 .
  • Hans Kotter has been teaching as a schoolmaster in Bern since 1534 .
  • Hans Kugelmann , who was in the service of the Fugger family in Augsburg , has been a trumpeter and court composer for Margrave Albrecht in Königsberg since 1524 . Parallel to his work at court, he was Kapellmeister of the choir from 1534 until his death.
  • Erasmus Lapicida that around the year 1521 by the Habsburg Archduke I. Ferdinand (reign as Archduke 1521-1531) on Schottenkloster in Vienna a stipend was awarded, lives there, the remaining 26 years of his life. In 1539, Lapicida took part in the funeral services for Isabella of Portugal , deceased wife of Emperor Charles V , in St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna .
  • Jacotin Le Bel is a member of the court orchestra of the French King Francis I. On a list of the chapel's salaried employees in 1532/1533 he appears as haulte-contre and as chantre et chanoine ordinaire . From the king he receives a canonical and a benefice at the collegiate church of Notre Dame in the province of Anjou . Jacotin wrote more than 50 polyphonic works in over 100 manuscripts and prints from the 16th century. 32 of these works were printed between 1528 and 1553 by the royal sheet music printer Pierre Attaingnant .
  • Like his father Nikolaos, Francesco Londariti chose the clerical career and worked at his church as an organist from 1537 to 1544. The support of his father, the good relations of his family and his extraordinary talent as a musician make it possible that, as the illegitimate son of a priest, he is not confronted with the currently usual obstacles and not only ordained a priest, but also with the title of Apostolic Protonotary and various high ecclesiastical offices, which are associated with lucrative property and thus some prosperity.
  • Stephan Mahu , who may have been a member of the court of Queen Anna of Bohemia and Hungary (1503–1547), the wife of Ferdinand I , as a singer and trombonist from the beginning of the 1520s, signed a lifelong contract from November 14, 1528 Service with her and Ferdinand. In return, he is guaranteed a substantial increase in salary, which will only be paid out from 1539. In addition, between September 1529 and March 1532, he took over the position of Vice Kapellmeister of the Vienna Court Music Orchestra from Archduke Ferdinand under Arnold von Bruck , until 1539.

  • Luis de Narváez has been in the service of Francisco de los Cobos y Molina (1477–1547), Commander of León and Secretary to Emperor Charles V since the 1520s ; it is very likely that he will live in Valladolid with his employer until his death in 1547. It is very likely that Narváez is identical to Ludovicus Narbays , of whom a four-part and a five-part motet are contained in two books of motets written by the French printer Jacques Moderne († 1561 in Lyon ) in 1539 and 1542.
  • Francesco Patavino , who directed the cathedral music in Gemona , left Gemona in 1537 and returned to Treviso , where he was again active as conductor. It can be proven in documents from Treviso until 1551.
  • Nicolas Payen , who was probably the choirboy at the capilla flamenca of Emperor Charles V between 1522 and 1529 and then continued his musical training in an unknown location, is again included in the payrolls of the imperial court from 1534. After Empress Isabella of Portugal , the wife of Charles V, died on May 1, 1539 at the age of 36, Payen wrote the musical elegy “Carole cur defles” (“Karl, why are you crying”) on her death.
  • Matteo Rampollini , who was chaplain at the Medici Chapel from 1530 to 1534 , is apparently also allowed to compose music for the wedding of Cosimo I de 'Medici and Eleonora of Toledo in 1539, because two of his madrigals (Lieta per honorarte and Ecco la fida ) are in the banquet music edited by Antonio Gardano .
  • Claudin de Sermisy is a member of the court orchestra of King Francis I of France. From 1533 the composer worked as sous-maître over all musicians in the royal band; Cardinal François de Tournon , a close confidante of the king, is in charge of the administration . As sous-maître , de Sermisy directs the performances of around 40 adult singers and six choirboys that the royal chapel owned during the 1530s and 1540s; In addition, he is responsible for the well-being of the boys and oversees the chapel's liturgical and musical books. He held this office until around 1553.
