Josquin des Prez

Josquin des Prez  c. 1450/1455 – 27 August 1521), often referred to simply as Josquin, was a Netherlander composer of the Renaissance.    His motet Illibata Dei virgo nutrix includes an acrostic of his name, where he spelled it "Josquin des Prez" He was the most famous European composer between Guillaume Dufay and Palestrina, and is usually considered to be the central figure of the Franco-Flemish School. Josquin is widely considered by music scholars to be the first master of the high Renaissance style of polyphonic vocal music that was emerging during his lifetime.
