SIXTEENTH-CENTURY PRINTED
INSTRUMENTAL ARRANGEMENTS OF WORKS
BY JOSQUIN DES PREZ
An Inventory

Now thatthepublicationof all theworksofJosquindes Prez is complete,'it is


possibleto reflectmorecloselyon theimportance Josquinhad fortheinstrumental
musicof the I6th century. Josquin himself lefta numberof instrumental com-
positions,hisvocal outputfrequently servedas a modelforinstrumental arrange-
ments,whiletherewill undoubtedly havebeena stylistic influence by himon the
instrumental musicofhistimeand thesucceedingperiod.On theotherhand,the
study of the instrumental musiccan perhapscontribute to a betterunderstanding
of theworkandimportance ofJosquin.
In orderto be able to studythissubjectsystematically, it will firstbe necessary
to makean inventory ofthesourcematerial.I havein thisarticlewishedto makea
contribution to thisby preparinga surveyof theinstrumental arrangements of
worksbyJosquinwhichappearedin print.I have had to limitthissurveyto the
printedarrangements datingfromthe16thcentury, bearingin mindthatit is not
yetpossible to make an inventoryin the same way thearrangements
of preserved
in manuscript or whichhave been handeddown in latersources.This position
arisesfromthefactthatthereis at present a sufficientlydetailedandreliablebiblio-
graphysolely for the printedinstrumental music of the I6th century,namely
HowardMayerBrown'sPrinted Instrumental Musicup to16oo.2The present inven-
is
tory consequently forthemost part based on - and thereforedependent - the
on
datapublishedby Brown.The siglaby whichthesourceswill be indicatedin the
followingpagesare,unlessstatedto thecontrary, takenfromBrown'sbook.3

When speakingabout the Renaissance,the terms#<instrumental music)>and


<<instrumental )
arrangementrequire furtherexplanation.As will be known,the
choice of the mediumfor performance - vocal, instrumental, mixed vocal-
instrumental- was at thattime,in so faras polyphonicmusicwas concerned,
frequentlymorea questionof performing practicethanof composition. In some

however,not always easy to decide whethera given compositionmeetsthis
requirement.In manycasesthenotationin whichtheworkis preserved formsthe

decisivefactorin this.Afterall, a piecewrittenin one of themanyformsof in-
strumental notation,usuallyindicatedby the not particularly fortunateterm
<<tablatures>>,caninprinciple be madeto soundonlyon therelevant instrument and
consequently belongunequivocally to instrumental music. The position is different
inrelation tomusicwritten inmensural notationinchoirorpartbooks.The absence
of a textin no way guarantees thatthepiecewas intendedby thecomposerfor
instrumental performance (instrumental ensemble),whileon theotherhandthe
presence thereof does not in many cases excludean originallyinstrumental con-
ception.Title-pages,prefaces, marginal notes and the like can, alongsidestylistic
features and considerations relating, forexample,to sources,perhapsprovidean
answeron this.
Thenotverynumerous instrumental compositions ofJosquin haveallcomedown
to us in mensural notationand aretherefore intendedfora (not further specified)
instrumental ensemble.H. Osthoffmentions in hismonographonJosquindesPrez
teninstrumental compositions and in thelistof operadubiaa further five.4Some
pieces,such as for example the well-known La Bernardina, the ?fanfare> Vivele
Roy,La Spagna,Ile Fantazies, showan unmistakable instrumental character. There
isstillsomedoubtinrelationtocertainothercompositions:J'ai biencausedelamenter
andMa bouche rit.Thesepiecesmustin theformin whichtheyhavecomedownto
usprobablybe regardedas vocaladaptations oforiginally instrumental works.We
shallnotconcernourselves further herewithJosquin's originalinstrumental works,
butreferthereaderto thediscussions by Osthoffin hismonograph.5
Thereshouldbe understood hereby ?instrumental arrangement ? a transcription
or adaptation ofa vocalworkforaninstrumental performing mediumor,as some-
timesalso occurs,a transcription of an originallyinstrumental compositionfor
anotherinstrument or ensemble.The arranger is generally someoneotherthanthe
composerofthemodel.The partplayedby thisarranger canin mostcasesclearly
be recognizedas such,namelyif the setting(in tablature)is writtenfora solo
instrument. In the case of some collectionsfor ensembleplayingpublishedin
mensural notationhisroleis howeverrestricted ratherto thatof an editor,so that
therelevantsettings canscarcely be calledarrangements. Whenthereisinsuchcases
also doubtaboutthespecific instrumental intention ofthecollection, thequestion
arisesas to whether this,assuming that there iswork byJosquin it, factbelongs
in in
inourinventory. Thus,C. Sartorimentions inhisBibliografia dellamusicastrumentale

toPierre

not
although containing real
any arrangements, is intended
definitely forinstru-
mental performance.Inrelationto theseand similarproblems certain
passagesinthe
prefaceof Brown's bibliographyshould alsobe compared.7

Thereisnodoubtthatmerely a fewgeneral conclusions canasyetbelinked withour


inventory of instrumental arrangements basedon compositions by Josquin.
Reviewing thewhole,itis seenthata relatively verylargenumber ofsources of
instrumental musiccontains worksbyJosquin. Itishowever a fairlylimited partof
hisoutput whichserved as a modelforallthesearrangements. Twenty authentic
massesareincluded intheWerken vanJosquin des Pris.Fragments ofeleven ofthem
recurin instrumental sources, in addition to whicha movement fromtheMissa
L'homme arme' sextitoni,forwhichno printed arrangements areknown, occursin
themanuscript withworksbyVicenzoCapirola(ca.1517,seebelow).As faras
themotets andsecular worksareconcerned, thesituationislessfavourable. Ofthe
roughly hundred motets which are as
regarded beingauthentic workbyJosquin,
noteventwenty recurinwholeorinpartinprinted instrumental collections. The
editionofthecomplete workscontains ca.70 secular compositions, while sixteen
piecesof thiscategory also occurin instrumental transcription. Alongside the
compositions which can be attributed toJosquin witha greater orlesser degreeof
-
certainty asis known the of of the
question authenticity worksforms oneofthe
moreimportant subjectsinresearch onJosquins - therearerepeatedly found inthe
instrumental sources piecestheauthorship ofwhichis contested or whichhave
manifestly beenwrongly attributed to him.Examples ofthelatter category are
contained in GiovanMariada Crema'sIntabolatura de lauto,libroprimo (Brown

Josquin frequently named as the

doubt.As faras thesacredmusicis concerned, we finally findin Enriquezde
Valderr"bano's Librodemusica devihuela (1547/5) inthenameofJosquin a work
entitledObsecro tedomina, ofwhichno vocaloriginal ishowever known.
Variousdubiaarealsoencountered amongst thesecular works.Thereisa fairly

Josquin and Fevin there are mentioned in thiscontext the names of Ockeghem,

compositions to thesametextalsoexist.It cannottherefore be regarded as being
completely excluded thatothermodelsthanthosementioned byBrownformed
thebasisforthepresent instrumental arrangements,being moresosincethe
this the
preciseidentification of a coloured arrangement isoften verydifficult. Be thisasit
may, no chanson Forsseulement seems to be known which can with certainty be
attributed toJosquin, whilefortheabove-mentioned piece in Obrecht's works
F vinrather than Josquin comes under consideration as author.12 Compare alsothe
relevantpassages in Osthoff's monograph. The Intabulatura de lauto, libro primo by
Francesco Spinacino (1507/1), the known
earliest lute tablature, contains anarrange-

fromother sources. Finally, itmustalsobepointed outthatthetranscription ofthe
chansonFaultd'argent by Valentin Bakfark (1565/1, 1569/I and taken over by
PhaleseandBellkre intotheirThesaurus musicus, 1574/7) is basedon thefive-part
version oftheworkwhichveryprobably doesnotassuchoriginate withJosquin.13
On theotherhand,it occasionally happens thata composition byJosquin in an
instrumental is
source attributed to another composer. AlonsoMudarra's vihuela
bookof 1546(1546/14) contains a transcription ofa pieceentitled Respice inme
Deus,Gombert, whichis a contrafactum ofJosquin's chanson Je ne me puistenir
d'aimer.
Ifwe investigate whichcompositions ofJosquin weremostfrequently arranged
forinstruments, they turn out mainly to be those whichwerealsomostwidely
spread invocalform. Boththesingers andinstrumentalists clearly hada particular
preference fortheMissadeBeataVirgine, theCumsancto spiritu infactbeingvery
popularwiththelatter. Amongst themotets itwasinparticular thecompositions
Benedictaescoelorum Regina, PaterNoster and Stabat Mater passed down innumerous
sources and, to a lesser extent,Inviolataand Praeter rerum seriem which serveas the
inspirationfor instrumental transcriptions,'4 whilepopular chansons, suchasMille
regretz,Plusnulzregretz andAdieumesamours alsoappearedmostfrequently in
instrumental collections. Thenumber ofsources inwhicha givencomposition has
beenpasseddownforms an indication ofthespreadandpopularity ofthework.
The conclusions whichcanbe drawnin thisrespect fromthevocalsources con-
sequently seem to be supported in broad outline the
by instrumental sources, this
naturallynotbeingsurprising.
Even theearliest now knownlutetablature, the Libroprimoby Francesco
Spinacino (Petrucci 1507 = 1507/1) contains a number oftranscriptions basedon
worksbyJosquin. ThepieceLa Bernardina, oneofhisoriginal instrumental com-
even
positions, occurs twice here, in a
namely setting for lute solo andin one for two
lutes.Theonlyotherworkstoappearduring Josquin's lifeweretheLibrosecondo
bySpinacino (1507/2) andthecollection Tenori e contrabassi intabulati colsopran in
cantofigurato by Franciscus Bossinensis (I5O9/I), both of which were likewise
published byPetrucci. Thelatter collection contains an adaptation ofthefrottola
In teDomine speravi with the note<<Josquin Dascanio>>. Italy however provides few
sources whichareimportant foroursubject. Admittedly, from1536collections by
Francesco da Milanoappeared regularly inwhichcompositions byJosquin canbe
found, butitseemsasifwe areherealwaysdealing withreprints ofarrangements
whichwerealready published for the first time in Francesco's earliest collections
of1536(PaterNoster, Stabat Materandthedisputed Forsseulement). Animportant
collectionis theIntabolatura delauto,libro primo bySimonGintzler (1547/3) who

by him had virtuallycome to an end. The transcriptions whichseem to be in
and
manuscripts perhaps also in printedworks from thistime mustconsequently
be looked upon as exceptions.The London manuscript BritishMuseum Add.
29247,whichiswritten inItalianlutetablature
andwhichwas completed after161I,
containsalongsidenumerous worksbycontemporary Englishcomposers alsoa few
earliercompositions, including Josquin'schansonJene mepuistenir.22
The above
mentioned manuscript Mus.Ms.267intheBavarianStateLibrary inMunichwhich,
according to the of
catalogue J.J.Maier23, datesfrom the I6th century,could
according to Boetticher24date the
from beginning of the17thcentury.

The inventorypublishedbelow of printedinstrumental arrangements of com-


positionsby Josquindes Prez cannotbut be incomplete,forthe reasonsgiven.
Nonetheless, I hope thatan impression
can be gainedfromit of theway in and
extentto whichthemusicofJosquinwas arrangedforinstruments and theplace
it occupiedas suchin theinstrumental
musicoftheI6thcentury.
