WELCOME<br />
The Cappella Sistina <strong>and</strong> the Low Countries, from Dufay to<br />
Ameyden: an inspiring topic, to say the least!<br />
All the more reason for Laus Polyphoniae 2009 to devote not<br />
only a series of concerts to the subject, but also an international<br />
colloquium. This is the result of a close collaboration between<br />
AMUZ - Laus Polyphoniae <strong>and</strong> the <strong>Alamire</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>,<br />
International Centre for the Study of Music in the Low<br />
Countries.<br />
A word of thanks goes to the staff of both organisations, <strong>and</strong> in<br />
particular to Sofie Taes for her work on the conference<br />
<strong>programme</strong> <strong>and</strong> organisation, Ann Hasendonckx - who was a<br />
great help in administrative <strong>and</strong> various other matters, to<br />
H<strong>and</strong>an Narin <strong>and</strong> Kathleen Engels for taking care of<br />
accommodation <strong>and</strong> communication. A word of thanks also<br />
goes to the City of Antwerp for its warm welcome.<br />
Finally, I would like to extend a word of welcome to all of you<br />
here <strong>and</strong> thank you for your interest, your presence <strong>and</strong> your<br />
enthusiastic participation.<br />

ABSTRACTS<br />
Ghiselin Danckerts: new discoveries<br />
Marco Mencoboni (Ensemble Cantar Lontano)<br />
Ghiselin Danckerts (ca. 1510 – after August 1565) was a<br />
composer from the Low Countries who was a member of the<br />
Cappella Sistina from 1538 until 1565. Danckerts was also the<br />
author of a musical treatise which, although never published, still<br />
acquired fame as an apology for the conservative tendency<br />
within the music of the second half of the 16th century. He was<br />
<strong>and</strong> still is not well known as a composer <strong>and</strong> only a few of his<br />
works have been published. The source that Cantar Lontano is<br />
using for their concert at Laus Polyphoniae is a recently<br />
discovered manuscript that turns out to be an autograph by<br />
Danckerts. It comprises a Magnificat with signature, a mass,<br />
several hymns <strong>and</strong> a Salve regina. Together with musicologists<br />
Arnaldo Morelli <strong>and</strong> Salvatore Sciammetta, artistic director<br />
Marco Mencoboni transcribed the music from this manuscript,<br />
which is dated at about 1550 <strong>and</strong> thus comes from the period<br />
when Danckerts was a papal singer.<br />
Introduction : The Cappella Sistina <strong>and</strong> the Low Countries<br />
Sofie Taes (AMUZ - <strong>Alamire</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> - K.U.Leuven)<br />
In this general introduction, different aspects of the conference<br />
theme - The Cappella Sistina <strong>and</strong> the Low Countries, from Du Fay to<br />
Ameyden - will be presented, as to lay out a framework for the<br />
papers that will be given in the next few days. Themes to be<br />
tackled are, amongst others, the recruitment of singers from the<br />
Low Countries for the Cappella Sistina, nationalities of singers in<br />
the papal chapel, the Sistine repertoire by composers from the<br />
Low Countries, ‘northern infl uence’ in the production of<br />
manuscripts (scribes, illuminators, etc.), relevant music sources<br />
<strong>and</strong> the effects of the dominance of singers/composers from the<br />
Low Countries within the papal chapel.<br />

Keynote: Music Copying at the Cappella Sistina in the<br />
Fifteenth Century: an Interim Reassessment<br />
Jeffrey Dean (The Stingray Office, Londen)<br />
The existing music manuscripts of the Cappella Sistina archive in<br />
the Vatican Library are the central fact around which this<br />
conference revolves. There are many ways to approach them,<br />
<strong>and</strong> many associated matters worthy of study, but attention to<br />
the phenomena of manuscript production provides a solid<br />
foundation for all of these. When was the music copied? By<br />
whom? Under what circumstances? Answers to these questions<br />
make it possible to attack other questions with greater<br />
confidence. I shall begin with a survey of past research <strong>and</strong> a<br />
summary of the present state of knowledge. The main portion of<br />
my talk will be a report on work in progress on a reassessment of<br />
the copying of music manuscripts for the papal chapel in the late<br />
fifteenth <strong>and</strong> early sixteenth centuries. I have concentrated so far<br />
chiefly on the fifteenth century, <strong>and</strong> I have already arrived at a<br />
revised account of the genesis of MS Cappella Sistina 35 <strong>and</strong> a<br />
more nuanced view of the genesis of C.S. 15, which has led me<br />
to reconsider the relationships among the "minor" music<br />
copyists active in the late 1480s <strong>and</strong> 1490s. I shall present<br />
"breaking news" of an apparent discovery with regard to C.S. 14<br />
<strong>and</strong> 51, which may lead to a radical re-evaluation of the oldest<br />
music manuscripts surviving in the Cappella Sistina archive. I<br />
shall conclude by outlining what I consider to be the most urgent<br />
tasks confronting future research into music copying at the papal<br />
chapel. We need not only new research but new researchers.<br />
Christian Ameyden <strong>and</strong> the Cappella Pontificia's<br />
involvement in the Arciconfraternita del SS. Crocifisso<br />
Noel O'Regan (University of Edinburgh)<br />
From the mid-1550s to the late 17th century papal singers<br />
provided one of the tredici, the representatives of the Roman rioni<br />
who, together with the guardians, made up the ruling body of the<br />
9
Arciconfraternita del SS. Crocifisso in S. Marcello. Christian<br />
Ameyden served in this role no fewer than four times: in 1569,<br />
1577, 1583 <strong>and</strong> 1600, being the papal singer most frequently<br />
involved, apart from Giovanni Antonio Merlo. He was also the<br />
only Flemish singer to take office in the archconfraternity. For<br />
the papal singers, who forbade their members from joining the<br />
Compagnia dei Musici on its official recognition by the Pope in<br />
1585, SS. Crocifisso acted as a substitute confraternity, providing<br />
both spiritual <strong>and</strong> corporal benefits. It was also one of the most<br />
important patrons of music in the city, particularly for its series<br />
of Lenten oratory devotions. Their involvement, <strong>and</strong> that of<br />
Ameyden in particular, will be examined in this paper.<br />
VatS 160, VatS 34, <strong>and</strong> Vat S 36<br />
Klaas van der Heide (Independent researcher)<br />
Of the three <strong>Alamire</strong> manuscripts in the Vatican, VatS 34 <strong>and</strong><br />
VatS 36 have a repertoire that closely resembles the repertoire in<br />
JenaU 4, BrusBR 6428 <strong>and</strong> BrusBR 15075. Like in JenaU 4, the<br />
musical works in VatS 36 convey a dynastic message, in the sense<br />
that Emperor Maximilian (the Credo); Mary of Burgundy <strong>and</strong><br />
Maximilian (Ave sanctissima Maria; Te decet laus); King Philip the<br />
Fair (De doloribus); Archduke Charles (Alleluia); <strong>and</strong> Regent<br />
Margaret (O gloriosa Domina), are the nearly divine representatives<br />
of a most superior house. The manuscripts reflect the regained<br />
self-assurance of the Burgundian-Habsburg house after the<br />
League of Mechelen of 5 April 1513: BrusBR 6428 belonged to<br />
Margaret; BrusBR 15075 to her chapel singers; <strong>and</strong> JenaU 4 was<br />
given to the glorious middle of the house, Maximilian, on 17<br />
October 1513 in Lille. In comparison, the musical contents of<br />
VatS 160 are strikingly old. Its polytextual Masses by Barbireau<br />
<strong>and</strong> Obrecht date from c. 1490 already. These masses typically<br />
belong to a transalpine culture that delighted in the ‘ars<br />
combinatoria’ <strong>and</strong> in the presence of more than one symbolic layer<br />
in a work of art. As his papal arms are not original, new, Italian<br />
<strong>and</strong> humanist, Pope Leo X happens to be not the first owner of<br />
10
VatS 160. Circumstantial evidence suggests John III of Glymes,<br />
Lord of Bergen op Zoom to have been the original owner. John<br />
III was the most influential nobleman at the Burgundian court<br />
<strong>and</strong> a life-long Maecenas to Obrecht. It may have been John’s<br />
suggestion to change the manuscript into a gift for pope Leo X<br />
immediately after his election on 11 March 1513. As the Vatican<br />
co-signed the League, VatS 34 <strong>and</strong> VatS 36 may have been sent<br />
to the new pope in c. October 1513.<br />
Jacob Obrecht <strong>and</strong> the Sistine Chapel: The Evidence of<br />
Three Masses<br />
Joshua Rifkin (Boston University)<br />
Jacob Obrecht’s three masses in the Sistine Chapel manuscripts<br />
35 <strong>and</strong> 51 provide the earliest concentrated testimony to the<br />
reception of his music in Italy. But just when did they reach the<br />
papal singers, <strong>and</strong> through what channels? A review of the<br />
evidence - much of it still not available at the time of Rob<br />
Wegman’s Born for the Muses - suggests answers at variance with<br />
the conclusions of previous scholarship.<br />
The Wunderkammer of Polyphony in the Late 16 th-Century<br />
Papal Chapel<br />
Björn Schmelzer (Ensemble graindelavoix)<br />
Recreating the performance practice of Roman polyphony<br />
dem<strong>and</strong>s other more complex <strong>and</strong> stratified models <strong>and</strong> patrons<br />
than the simplistic dichotomy prima - seconda prattica,<br />
polyphony - monody etc... How can we imagine the<br />
development of styles without the use of late, anachronistic<br />
concepts which press movements into all too rigid historical<br />
formats <strong>and</strong> ultimately can't avoid evolutionistic historical<br />
perspectives? One of these concepts could be the<br />
'Wunderkammer'. Not only is it a concept more adequate to<br />
describe the musical movements in late 16 th-century Rome, but it<br />
also could be seen as an ideal of actual historical informed<br />
11
performance. This paper will be illustrated with examples taken<br />
from the concert<strong>programme</strong> of graindelavoix (24/08).<br />
The end of the Flemish period: Christiaan van der<br />
Ameijden <strong>and</strong> the dwindling of the Flemish presence in the<br />
Cappella Sistina<br />
Michiel Verweij (Royal Library of Belgium, Brussels)<br />
In the second half of the 16th century Flemish presence in the<br />
Cappella Sistina came to an end. The last singer was the<br />
Brabantian Christiaan van der Ameijden (Oirschot, ca. 1530 -<br />
Rome, 20 November 1605). In this paper I intend to focus on<br />
two events in Ameijden's career, which illustrate this period <strong>and</strong><br />
its dominant characteristic, viz. the italianisation. The drastic<br />
measures taken by the cardinals' visitation committee in August<br />
1565 expelled all singers from the Southern Low Countries from<br />
the Cappella Sistina. Christiaan van der Ameijden, however, reentered<br />
the Chapel four days after he officially was sacked. He<br />
was to be the only Flemish singer in the chapel for the rest of his<br />
career. In 1578 the Italians, by far the large majority, opposed<br />
themselves to Ameijden's continous series of offices in the<br />
Chapel. Both events shed light on the growing professional <strong>and</strong><br />
moral dem<strong>and</strong>s put on the singers in this period, <strong>and</strong> on the<br />
shifting national presences. Ameijden ended his career as<br />
maestro di cappella as the direct colleague of Giovanni Pierluigi<br />
da Palestrina. At Ameijden's funeral in 1605, the entire Cappella<br />
Sistina attended: it was the end of a period.<br />
Late Masses at the Avignon papal Court<br />
Claudia Caffagni (Ensemble laReverdie - Staatliche Hochschule für Musik<br />
Trossingen)<br />
The manuscript from the chapter library of Saint Anne’s<br />
cathedral in Apt, that is known under its classification number<br />
Apt 16bis, dates from the time of the Great or Western Schism.<br />
12
It is supposed to have been compiled between 1390 <strong>and</strong> 1417 by<br />
various scribes, including one Richardus de Bozonvilla, ‘magister’<br />
employed by Benedict XIII (1394- 1417). Richardus’s<br />
connections with the pope have led us to assume that the Apt<br />
manuscript must have been used at the papal court in Avignon.<br />
The book contains polyphonic mass movements, hymns <strong>and</strong><br />
motets from the 14th <strong>and</strong> 15th centuries by such composers as<br />
Jean Tapissier, Pierre Tailh<strong>and</strong>er, Perrinet <strong>and</strong> De Fronciaco.<br />
Based on several details in the musical notation, ensemble<br />
laReverdie has experimented with using instruments to perform<br />
these religious works, thus questioning the conventional wisdom<br />
that only vocal music was made in the early papal chapel. As a<br />
result, a liturgical reconstruction of a ‘Missa coram Papa’ (a mass<br />
the pope attends to) <strong>and</strong> a ‘Missa magna’ (a mass the pope<br />
celebrates) as they could have been performed during the pontifi<br />
cate of Benedict XIII, will be presented.<br />
Travelling singers around the 1480s : Burgundian court<br />
chaplains in Rome<br />
David Fiala (Centre d'Études Supérieures de la Renaissance de Tours -<br />
Université François Rabelais)<br />
After the deaths of Charles the Bold (1477) <strong>and</strong> of his daughter,<br />
Mary of Burgundy (1482), the Burgundian court went through<br />
very hard times. The court Chapel was progressively disb<strong>and</strong>ed,<br />
<strong>and</strong> singers had to look for other positions. Though very few of<br />
them have been localised yet, it is known that some went to<br />
Hungary, <strong>and</strong> it seems that most of the others took shelter in the<br />
churches where princely patronage had helped them to obtain<br />
ecclesiastical benefices. It also appears now that a few of them<br />
went to Italy <strong>and</strong> Rome. A Missa Da pacem copied in a manuscript<br />
of the Capella Sistina (CS 41) might well be one visible result of<br />
these travels since, as this paper will argue, its composer, named<br />
« Pasquin » in the index of the manuscript, is likely to be<br />
identified as the Burgundian Chapel singer Pasquin Louis. In<br />
order to contextualize the copying of this mass in Rome around<br />
13
1500, this paper will present a first synthesis on the singers active<br />
between the Burgundian court <strong>and</strong> Rome in the last third of the<br />
15th century.<br />

EATING OUT<br />
The people of Antwerp have always had a reputation for being<br />
gourmets. The majority of Antwerp restaurants tend to go in the<br />
direction of the French cuisine, with the addition of a few fine<br />
Belgian touches. However, in this cosmopolitan city you’ll find a<br />
whole range of European, ethnic <strong>and</strong> biological cuisine as well as<br />
restaurants experimenting with the latest food fads. The greatest<br />
concentration of places to eat is in the areas around the historic<br />
city centre, the central station <strong>and</strong> the South quarter of Antwerp.<br />
It's impossible to provide a full overview. Down below we give<br />
just a few suggestions.<br />

GETTING AROUND THE CITY<br />
Antwerp is a pedestrian-friendly city. Some 20% of this historic<br />

pedestrians are given absolute priority. Another convenient way<br />
to get around the city is by bus or tram. These services enable<br />
your clients to easily reach all major places in Antwerp. There are<br />
two major bus terminal stations: Centraal Station en<br />
Rooseveltplaats.<br />
