＜Renaissance polyphony＞
The Renaissance period (around 1500AD) was the height of music history and the period of greatest development of vocal polyphony in Western Europe. At the time, music education was also conducted in Japan at Jesuit seminaries, and this was the first time that Japanese people were exposed to Western music. We present three works by the most famous composer of the time, Josquin des Prez (c. 1450 -1521). Enjoy the various techniques of intertwining multiple melodies.
