- Hawkins Collection. Vol. VI. 'Brevis Musicae Isagoge', by Johann Fries of Zurich
- Scope & Content:
-
Settings of works by classical authors, for 4 equal voices, scored from 1555. From the printed edition, the dedication of which is dated 1554, it appears that only one of the parts (retained from the original edition of 1550) was by Frisius himself, the other three being added by his friend Henricus Textor. The words of nos. 1-19 are from Horace's Odes; a list being given of the other odes to which the music may be sung. The words of nos. 20, 21 (specimens of 'Phalecii carminis modulatio') are from Catullus and Martial; those of nos. 22, 23 ('Elegiaci carminis modulatio') are from Ovid; and those of no. 24 ('Heroici carminis harmonia ') are from Virgil.
