Gallus as a Polyphonic Mass Composer

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Collection of Masses by Jacobus Handl-Gallus was published in Prague in 1580. It constitutes the first print of importance devoted to the composer. This article examines how the collection can be considered as a unicum in the history of polyphonic Mass printing in the late sixteenth century, focusing on the compositional features that show these Masses to be already typical of the composer’s mature style.
