Gaspar van Weerbeke: Perspektives on his Life and Music
Abstract
This book is the first collection of research articles dedicated exclusively to the life and works of the Renaissance composer Gaspar van Weerbeke. While the basic facts of Gaspar’s life have long been known, the book fleshes out the details, presenting a more differentiated and complex picture of his biography. Analysis of a wider range of Gaspar’s compositional output leads to new interpretations of his approach to different genres: masses, motets, and motet cycles. Dieses Buch ist die erste wissenschaftliche Publikation, die ausschließlich dem Leben und Werk des Renaissance-Komponisten Gaspar van Weerbeke gewidmet ist. Während die grundlegenden Fakten von Gaspars Leben seit langem bekannt sind, werden in diesem Buch die Details vertieft und ein differenzierteres und komplexeres Bild seiner Biografie gezeichnet. Die Analyse eines breiteren Spektrums von Gaspars kompositorischem Schaffen führt zu neuen Interpretationen seines Gattungsverständnisses von Messen, Motetten und Motettenzyklen.
