Regola rubertina
Cover picture of the Regola Rubertina by Silvestro Ganassi .

The Regola Rubertina is considered to be one of the earliest treatises on the viola da gamba and the first systematic viol school. Contents of the Regola Rubertina include tuning the strings, setting up the frets, fingering and bowing. For the practice of diminishing , Ganassi refers to his recorder textbook La Fontegara , published in 1535 . In Chapter 10 he describes the bass as the "most important" and "most worthy" voice, for which he gives aural, arithmetic and theological arguments. The Regola Rubertina is self- published in two parts in 1542 and 1543.

Events

  • The German theologian and reformer Erasmus Alberus published the poem You dear Christians, rejoice now , which is used today as an Advent song .
  • 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 . In 1542 he calls himself Kapellmeister, although according to the official files of the court he never held this office, but possibly exercised it in practice.
  • Jakob Arcadelt has been the singer of the Capella Sistina in Rome since December 30, 1540 , where he remains (with interruptions) until June 1551.
  • 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 the post of Kapellmeister held.
  • 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 , who at the Academy of Lausanne Theology studied and 1540 before the consistory has passed his examination, is pastor in Thierrens and Moudon in the canton of Vaud .
  • 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 is the conductor of the cathedral in La Seu d'Urgell . He retained this position - with interruptions - until shortly before his death in 1591.
  • Jakob Buus has been the organist of the 2nd organ of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice since July 15, 1541 .
  • In 1542 Cornelius Canis was responsible for traveling to Spain with four newly recruited choirboys to the court chapel ( Grande Chapelle ) of Emperor Charles V in Madrid . There he was appointed court conductor in June 1542 to succeed Thomas Crécquillon . Before that, around 1540, Nicolas Gombert had been dismissed as master of the choirboys because of an incident and afterwards the positions of court music director and director of the choirboys were merged, so that Canis can continue to take care of the choirboys.
  • Pierre Certon since 1529 works in Paris at N otre Dame , where he was appointed head of the boys' choir 1,542th He dedicated a book of motets to his colleague at the Sainte-Chapelle, Claudin de Sermisy , in 1542.
  • Jacobus Clemens non Papa's nickname "non Papa" appears for the first time in 1542 in a manuscript collection of the Dutch merchant Zeghere de Male. This epithet should perhaps serve as a differentiation from the contemporary Pope Clement VII , although he died in 1534, certainly less than a distinction to the poet Jacobus Papa, who lived in Ypres .
  • Francesco Corteccia has been in the service of the de 'Medici family since 1539 and holds the position of Kapellmeister at the court of Duke Cosimo I.
  • Thomas Crécquillon , who has been in contact with the court of Emperor Charles V since 1540 and is listed three times in a list of benefices as “maistre de la chapelle” in December 1540 , may have been the director of the choirboys after Nicolas Gombert left before Cornelius Canis was appointed to it in 1542. The court orchestra also accompanied the emperor on his travels, which is why the composer's stays in Spain between November 1541 and May 1543 are likely.
  • Wolfgang Dachstein has been organist at the Strasbourg Cathedral since 1541 and at the same time music teacher at the grammar school there. He complies with the Augsburg Interim and thus remains in his office.

  • Georg Forster is the personal physician of Count Palatine Wolfgang , Duke of Zweibrücken in Heidelberg . In 1542/43 he accompanied him on the arduous campaign against the Duke of Jülich-Kleve and the French king.
  • The compositions handed down by Henry Fresneau allow the conclusion that he worked in Lyon from 1538 until 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.

  • Jacotin Le Bel is a member of the court orchestra of the French King Franz I.
  • 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.
  • Jachet de Mantua has been the master of the chapel boys and chapel master at the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul in Mantua since 1535 at the latest . In Mantua he has a special position through his direct subordination to the cardinal. His fame is also based on numerous publications of his works, with the result that a great number of contemporary authors deal with his work in their writings.
  • Francesco Canova da Milano has been in Rome since 1535 as lutenist and viola player of Cardinal Ippolito de 'Medici and as teacher of Pope Paul III's nephew . , Ottavio Farnese.

  • 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.
  • Girolamo Parabosco has been a student of Adrian Willaert since the end of 1541 .

  • Nicolas Payen has worked in the court chapel of Emperor Charles V since 1540 as clerc d'oratoire and chapelain des hautes messes.
  • Matteo Rampollini is in the service of the Medici in Florence .
  • Cipriano de Rore most likely stayed in Brescia from 1542 to 1545 and, on occasional trips to Venice , might oversee the printing of his madrigals and motets there. At the same time, he wrote several homage compositions for religious and secular prominent persons, from whom the composer might expect a job.

  • Georg Rhau , who settled in Wittenberg as a printer at the end of 1522 , ran a book printing company here until his death. The Georg Rhaus music prints are the most important testimony to the musical views and intentions of the circle around Martin Luther .

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.
  • Tielman Susato has been a member of the Antwerp Town Musicians since 1531; he plays the instruments flute , recorder , Krummhorn , field trumpet and trombone , and perhaps also the evening prayer of the brotherhood accompanied. The business collaboration between Susato and the printers Hendrik ter Bruggen and Willem van Vissenaken , which began in 1541, ends in 1542 when the former's share is paid out, and Vissenaken loses its share in a legal process to Susato in 1544.
  • Adrian Willaert has been the cathedral music director of San Marco in Venice since December 12, 1527 .

In 1542 the composer travels to his homeland in Flanders because of family matters.
