[…] above on Hopkinson Smith “Pierre Attaingnant” ~ click to enlarge Preludes and Chansons Introduction begins with five unnumbered preludes. These were the first pieces to bear this title published in France. Essentially, these five pieces are ricercare composed on Italian models, and Heartz argues that they were chosen to provide short introductory pieces that set up the respective modes for the chanson intabulations that follow – in the same manner set forth in The Capirola Lute Book . There are 34 chansons intabulations in Introduction – but each is set in one of the four modes of the preludes: D, F, C, or G. More than anything else, Attaingnant was a publisher of chansons (secular songs) and from the late 1520s through the 1540s his presses issued a vast stream of these songs in the new style. The composers of the new Parisian chanson – led by court composers […]

[…] year as the owner of a press being rented to a Jehan de La Roche. Daniel Heartz’s monumental Pierre Attaingnant: Royal Printer of Music, 1969 The American musicologist Daniel Heartz (b. 1928) wrote the book on Attaingnant – actually two books. The first is Preludes, Chansons and Dances for Lute Published by Pierre Attaingnant, Paris (1529-1530) – published in 1964 – a critical study in the tradition of Gombosi’s study of The Capirola Lute Book published a decade earlier (in fact it is dedicated to Gombosi’s memory). This was followed five years later by Pierre Attaingnant: Royal Printer of Music, for which Heartz personally examined every known print by Attaingnant in libraries and collections across Europe. It’s an astounding and beautiful book, and an exhaustive study and bibliography of the first music printer in France, his influence and legacy, and the early years of the printed music […]

a page from the Capirola Lute Book (click to enlarge) The Lute Part VII In the early 16th century an amateur lutenist in Venice compiled an undated manuscript consisting of lute pieces in Italian tablature composed by his teacher. He names himself Vidal in the book’s preface, and states that in order to ensure that the music contained in its pages is preserved, he has decorated it with “noble pictures” so that it will be treasured for their sake should the book come into the possession of some who may not appreciate music. Indeed, 45 of the manuscript’s 147 pages feature elaborate pastoral illustrations in full color, and the book has been preserved: this is the famous Capirola Lute Book. It is one of the earliest and finest manuscripts of lute music to survive – perhaps the most beautiful – and it contains the only known selection of music by […]
