by Knud Jeppesen
The
greatest Renaissance creator of liturgical music, the revered
sixteenth-century composer known as Palestrina wrote works that served
for centuries as models of counterpoint. Until The Style of Palestrina and the Dissonance,
theoreticians seldom closely analyzed the composer’s work to discover
its fundamental elements, including the handling of rhythm, line, and
harmony.
Beginning chapters discuss the standard use of rhythm and
mensuration in Palestrina’s time, the ecclesiastical modes, and
treatment of words. Author Knud Jeppesen proceeds to explore
Palestrina’s music in terms of the elements that constitute his personal
style, isolating unusual vertical lines and establishing common and
uncommon interval skips and rhythmic accents.
The heart of the book
presents a modern empirical treatment of dissonance. Palestrina's
contrapuntal technique forged new harmonic devices, placing dissonance
on unaccented beats and highlighting text in very unorthodox ways for
his time. These new uses of dissonance and resolution are explored in
meticulous detail. In addition, Jeppesen includes a complete history of
the evolving concept and treatment of dissonance before Palestrina,
including quotations from the earliest theoretical works and numerous
musical examples that illustrate the practices of Palestrina’s
predecessors.
