Son of a town trumpeter, Jacob Obrecht became one of the most
prominent composers in Europe in the late fifteenth century. In
Born for the Muses, Rob Wegman enlarges our picture of the social
and cultural conditions that framed his world, drawing on a wealth
of new archival sources and a newly discovered dated portrait that
sheds light on his development as a composer. Obrecht's greatest
contribution lay in the field of mass composition. In a penetrating
stylistic analysis, Wegman treats each of the thirty-odd surviving
masses as a historical record, tracing influences and establishing
a rich context for the development of Obrecht's musical language.
This new assessment of his creative achievement and historical
significance entirely changes the face of Obrecht studies and of
late fifteenth-century music in general.
