Kate van Orden: Renaissance Music Printing and Performance
In this episode of Houghton75, we speak with Kate van Orden, Dwight P. Robinson Jr. Professor of Music. Her selection for our recent exhibition was a 16th century partbook printed by the first music publisher. The book contained the tenor lines of multiple Masses by Josquin de Prez, a master of Renaissance polyphony and one of the first composers whose works were widely disseminated in both manuscript and print.
