The first articles here focus on Johannes Tinctoris, the prominent
late 15th-century music theorist. They deal with the discovery of
his lost pedagogical motet, and his treatise on counterpoint; this
forms the basis of a wide-ranging investigation of contemporary
practices of improvisation and composition (singing super librum
and writing res facta), in which the question of 'successive' and
'simultaneous' composition is reconsidered. Tinctoris's sometimes
sharp rebukes to famous composers are also investigated in the
context of works by Ockeghem. Ottaviano Petrucci's first
publication of music, the 'Odhecaton' of 1501, is the subject of
another three articles. These identify the editor of the work, and
make new proposals on the provenance and editing of this repertory.
The last article presents an edition of a treatise of ca. 1600 in
the form of a letter from the virtuoso cornettist Luigi Zenobi to
an unknown prince, which offers new insights on the change in
performance practice at the end of the Renaissance.
