Synopsis
Excerpt from Famous Composers and Their Works
To return to the Paris visit, it may be deemed probable that one result of it was the erection of a new Academy of Music, authorized by the king in 1570. The only composition known to have been produced by Lasso in Paris was sent to Duke Albert as some proof of my gratitude. In 1574 Lasso set out for Paris once more, but when he had gone as far as Frankfort he learned that King Charles IX. Was dead; so he returned to Munich, where he resumed the work of composition with undiminished activity. Lasso never left Munich again and a detailed record of his life subsequent to 1575 would consist chiefly of a chronological cata logue of the works which he published. It may be said that he did not produce any large compositions in the years 1578 - 80. The Duke, who had con firmed him for life in his appointment on his return from Munich, had become ill, and in October, I 5 79, this generous and high-minded patron of the arts breathed his last.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the Netherland masters, a group of composers who flourished during the 15th and 16th centuries and played a significant role in the development of Western music. The author traces the origins of their style to the earlier French composers and discusses the various forms of canonic writing that were popular at the time. The author also explores the thematic depth of their work, demonstrating how the Netherland masters used their technical skill to express a wide range of emotions. Ultimately, the book argues that the Netherland masters were not simply brilliant technicians but also true artists who made a lasting contribution to the development of Western music.
