Frequently asked questions Q1: Why is the composer referred to as "Josquin" and not "des Prez"
A1: This is simply how academia typically refers to the composer (see Higgins 2004, p. 448). It is a similar to how scholarship refers to both Leonardo da Vinci and Joan of Arc by their first names. Q2: Why is Josquin not called a "French composer" or "Franco-Flemish composer"?
A2: Josquin was born in Flanders, though there is no agreement on the exact location; it was somewhere in either modern-day Belgium or northeastern France. Modern scholars differ on how to label him, and thus the article says he is "variously described as French or Franco-Flemish". See note #2 in the article for further information. |
