Austro-Hungarian Court Composers
|
Like her grandfather Maximilian I, who employed Isaac and Senfl, Mary Queen of Hungary brilliantly employed the Court composer Thomas Stoltzer to set Luther’s new 1524 Hebrew-German Psalm translations to pioneering six- and seven-voice polyphony. Senfl arranged Josquin’s ‘Ave Maria’ for six voices. These and other of their motets and a lied were featured by RenChorNY, led by Richard Porterfield. |
