“Kyrie paschale” in Polish Organ Tablatures from the First Half of the 16th Century – Problems of Style and Attribution by Grzegorz Kos

“…Based on analysis of the sources, examination of the contrapuntal and formal structure of the segments and comparisons with analogous repertoire from other organ tablatures and with vocal arrangements of the ‘Kyrie paschale’ (as ordinaries both independent and part of a Mass cycle) by identified and anonymous composers, the author of the article has identified new affinities between intabulations and redefined the roles played in their writing by individuals whose names or monograms were partly inscribed in the tablatures. Having found strong arguments to exclude Josquin (an attribution that has often been challenged), the author now attributes crucial roles to two authors of Masses that were in all probability the material basis or inspiration for the organ intabulations: Heinrich Finck and the newly identified Heinrich Isaac. …”
