Bologna
Odhecaton Ensemble | Paolo Da Col, conductor
Between 1483 and 1504 Josquin Desprez stayed for a long time in Italy, where the Freanch-Flemish polyphonic school was considered to be at the forefront. Among the ascertained stages of his travels (Milan, Rome, Ferrara) and those hypothesized by the biographers (Mantua, Florence), Bologna does not appear, although under the lordship of Giovanni II Bentivoglio the city of Bologna shone for splendor and patronage among the Renaissance courts of Northern Italy. A real Bolognese musical school will born only from 1512, with the nomination of Giovanni Spataro as "singing teacher" at the basilica of San Petronio. Meanwhile, Josquin's Masses, motets and "lies", thanks also to the prints of Ottaviano Petrucci (1502-1504 and 1514), imposed his teaching in all sacred and profane forms, giving him the epithet of princeps musicorum.
