New Josquin Edition
In 1969, half a century after
commissioning Albert Smijers
to edit the music of Josquin,
the 'Vereniging voor
Nederlandse
Muziekgeschiedenis' published
the last volume of the Werken
van Josquin des Prez.
Smijers's achievement was a
monumental one, but in the
decades after his death great
strides were made in the field
of musical source studies, and
it was generally felt that
Josquin's works deserved a
new edition - one that would
profit from the recent
refinements and new
methodologies in the study of
musical sources. Soon after,
an international team of
musicologists started the
preparation for this edition,
collecting all known source
material and laying down the
editorial principles that would
assure the musical and
scientific value of the new
edition.
