1 janv. 1440 - La Contenance angloise

Description:

is a distinctive style of polyphony developed in fifteenth-century England which uses full, rich harmonies based on the third and sixth. It was highly influential in the fashionable Burgundian court of Philip the Good, and on European music of the era. Its leading proponent was John Dunstaple, followed by Walter Frye and John Hothby.

 Differences from French
• Melody and vertically, things are built on 3rds.
• Rhythmically simple and homophonic
• Highly consonant versus the wild dissonance of the Ars Subtillior
• Panconsonance = hardly any, if at all, dissonance
• This motet only has one text, all declaimed together

 Radical turn from Ars Subtillior and a movement to simplicity
• Similar people turning away from complicated madrigals in the 16th century from like Gesualdo into the more simplified parts of early Baroque music.
