Keep it up! In my opinion, your lectures on music history are the most interesting on KZread. You speak briefly and to the point, the terms are explained in an accessible language even for a person who is not an expert in musical theory, and fragments of chants are just amazing! I'm so sorry that the last video in this series was shot a whole year ago! I watched all the lectures in one day and really hope that I will wait for the continuation!

THANK YOU, MATTHEW.

Congratulations, your videos are just 'spot on' for people like myself that absolutely love this type of music, but have very limited musical understanding. We're so lucky to have this astonishing heritage of classical music, that we simply must try to pass it on to future generations, and I think your approach is exactly what is needed to help this appreciation, thank you.

You're very underrated. Please keep making videos! You actually present information concisely and clearly, which is essential for students of music like me.

I just want to say that your videos have been super helpful in my journey of classical music. I, especially am very curious and welcoming when it comes to this period of music which unfortunately most classical listeners don't really care for. 'Tis a pity but then again... It's their loss. Renaissance is just under-appreciated and I want to change that.

Thanks for keeping it scholarly but simple. As you point out (regarding who was first to print music with the printing press), who did it first is never easy. Giovanni da Cascia used syncopation in the mid-Trecento well before Josquin.

Man, where was this channel when I was doing my undergrad XD thank you for the great explanations!

AUGH I can't wait for the next video. I'm studying the Reformation for Generals and am currently reading Rob Wegman's "Crisis of Music in Early Modern Europe." The timing could not he better!!

It's going to be super basic, though. But yes, great timing!

Thank you for making these videos so I don't have to. It's a nice supplement to my music history lectures.

This video is awesome, you're super thorough- this essay just got a lot easier to write, thank you!

I enjoyed your video very much. Might I respectfully suggest that Josquin's biggest contribution was to make imitation the central technique. I'm surprised you didn't mention his Ave Maria, which was the first item in Petrucci's first publication (1502), since its pervasively imitative style was so influential.

You know someone is really important in history when multiple places want to claim he was from their country.

Good video! If you ever read this comment: 3:16 I'd love to know the source for Josquin standardizing 4 voices instead of 3.

No offence, bro, but you gotta learn your music history. Conceptually, syncopation doesn't happen when you don't have bar lines. And these dudes didn't have bar lines. Canon < Ockeghem ~ the caccia. How far back to you want to take this?

Hi

How are you?
