Description
When the final volume of Albert Smijers’ edition of the Werken van Josquin des Prés was published in 1969, preparations were already being made for an entirely new edition of Josquin’s music. This paper will explain why such a new edition was deemed necessary. After a short historical introduction, the paper will concentrate on one of the central principles of the New Josquin Edition: the evaluation and interpretation of the transmission of Josquin’s music.
