Tudor Minute August 27, 1521: RIP Josquin des Prez
Today marks the death, in 1521 of Josquin des Prez, and while this isn’t directly Tudor related, the music of Josquin greatly influenced our Tudor composers. In the 16th century he was the most famous composer of the age, yet after a century his work drifted away, and was only rediscovered in the 20th century. Because of this, very little is known about him.
