Motets

Josquin Desprez: Huc me sydereo
Source: St. Gallen, Stiftsbibliothek, Cod. Sang. 464 (“Tschudi Liederbuch”), Discantus, fol. 14v (A004)

Stylistically, the motets are the most heterogeneous genre in Josquin’s oeuvre. With 167 motets attributed to Josquin, this genre is supposedly the largest in his oeuvre. However, the results of research in recent decades have led to a steady reduction in the number of authentic motets. In the New Josquin Edition, only 58 motets have been categorised as authentic, and the authenticity of 19 works is considered “dubious”. 90 works are misattributions and were not edited at all in the New Josquin Edition.
