Josquin Dor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Josquin Dor (fl. 1516–1522) was a Franco-Flemish singer and composer of Renaissance music.[1]

Life and career[edit]

Josquin Dor was active around 1516 to 1522 serving Cardinal Ippolito d'Este. He later moved to Rome to be in Pope Leo X's musici segreti, and then the papal choir.[1] At some point, he spent time in the court of the Hungarian king Matthias Corvinus, alongside Johannes de Stokem and possibly Josquin des Prez.[2]

Music[edit]

The Missa de nostra domina is Dor's only surviving work, though the work's Credo was written by the little-known composer Johannes Beausseron.[1]
