Henricus Glareanus (1 gen 1488 anni – 1 gen 1563 anni)

Descrizione:

Heinrich Glarean. Swiss music theorist, poet and humanist. He was a different sort of theorist from most we have previously studied. He was neither a composer nor a practical musician but, rather, an all-round scholar of the purest humanistic type, a disciple of the great Renaissance humanist Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam (1466-1536). Glareanus held professorial chairs not in music but in poetry and theology at the University of Freiburg. As a music theorist, he consciously modeled himself on Boethius, the classical prototype of the encyclopedic humanist. But his actual musical views differed radically from everything Boethius had believed.
