This entire episode is dedicated to one composer: Adam von Fulda (ca. 1445-1505). We will listen to his only mass, several sacral works and secular songs.
Adam von Fulda lived the first 45 years of his life at the Vornbach Benediktinerkloster, near Passau. When he got married, he had to leave the Abbey. He started working for Frederick the Wise, elector of Saxony, first as singer, later as history writer and finally as chapel master.
He mainly became famous because of his theoretical book ‘De Musica; from 1490. He was the first theorist to make a formal distinction between vocal and instrumental music. His body of work is quite modest: a mass, a Magnificat, several motets and hymns, three secular songs and one instrumental piece.
We will listen to his mass, several sacral works and his secular songs.
