My new edition uses modern clefs, reduced note values, different pitch center and a little revoicing to better match modern vocal ranges.
Josquin des Prez (or Jossé Deprès or even Giosquin Del Prato!) , ca. 1450‒1521/08/27. During the 16th century, Josquin gradually acquired the reputation as the greatest composer of the age, his mastery of technique and expression universally imitated and admired. (200 years later, Charles Burney called him the “father of modern harmony.”) He was so admired that many anonymous compositions were attributed to him by copyists, probably to increase their sales.
Absolon, fili mi, quis det ut moriar pro te?
non vivam ultra, sed descendam in infernum plorans.
—paraphrase from 2 Samuel
