Josquin des Prez: Credo Edition: Tom R. Ward, “A Newly-Discovered Josquin Attribution,” Tijdschrift van de Vereniging voor Nederlandse Muziekgeschiedenis, 33 (1983): 29-48, at 44-47. The earliest known source for Josquin’s Mass, BasU F.IX.55, was copied c.1507-10. The setting is anonymous there, but it was attributed to Josquin by Heinrich Faber, in 1548. Judging from the style of the Credo, the only complete movement to survive, it is hard to imagine who else would have written this setting in the early 1500s: this is as vintage Josquin as anything I’ve heard. But the editors of the New Josquin Edition have preferred to blunder on the side of caution, and have rejected the work as definitely not by Josquin. The song Rosina was not necessarily German: it appears as Rozijne hoe is dijn ghestelt with three stanzas of middle-Dutch poetry in the Antwerp Liedboek of 1544. The rhymed psalm Die boose sprack in zijn ghedacht (Ps. 35) in the Dutch Souter Liedekens (Antwerp: Symon Cock, 1540) appears with the designation “after the tune of Rosina waer was v ghestalt,” suggesting that the song was a popular favorite in the Low Countries. Clemens non Papa published a setting of the tune in his Souter Liedekens of 1556. A contrafact of the song also appears under the title O Christe hwor wor thÿn kundskab in Een Ny handbog med Psalmer oc aandelige lofsange (Rostock: Ludowich Dietz, 1529). |
