Examining the roots of the classical fugue and the early history of
non-canonic fugal writing, Paul Walker's Fugue in the Sixteenth
Century explores the three principal fugal genres of the period:
motet, ricercar, and canonza. The volume treats each genre in turn,
tracing the fugue's development throughout the century and
highlighting important moments and trends along the way. Taking a
two-tiered approach, Walker, on one level, examines fugue from the
perspective of contemporary musicians, and on another level, takes
into account fugue's later history and the elements that came to
play a significant role in its formation. Walker is the first
scholar to successfully tie together the various strands of the
"pre-Bach fugue" thanks to the growing availability of editions of
the repertories involved. He also takes account of recent work
elucidating the change in compositional approach around 1500 from a
basis in cantus firmus and canon to one favoring non-canonical,
fugal imitation. Featuring well-chosen musical examples to
illustrate the compositional developments of the sixteenth century,
Fugue in the Sixteenth Century is a definitive study for both
specialist musicologists and organists and harpsichordists alike.
