In E. Power Biggs' "Treasury of Early Organ Music", he attributes the Agincourt Hymn to Dunstable (Owre Kyng went forthe to Normandy). Has this been disproven? I know Biggs certainly took liberties with his editing of music, so perhaps this was just a pet theory of his. Anyone know?
- The best I can do is "maybe". It is considered highly likely that Dunstable wrote a lot of the anonymous English carol repertory of the first half of the 15th century, but it is not known which pieces he wrote. The only one attributed to him in an early source is "I pray you all" (which has a "J.D." with it). I don't think that is the same carol (the "Agincourt hymn" is usually classified as a carol, e.g. in the New Grove). Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 20:40, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Clean up
The article needs a real looking over... There is too much speculation ("Was probably born in Dunstable" Too many "possibly"'s and "perhaps"'s) and not enough citations. Will add wiki tag's. ScarianTalk 14:07, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
- It was a copy-paste move from John Dunstable, and needs to be fixed. (Spelling is contentious. Both spellings have their defenders.) References are listed at the bottom, and the "probablys" are an accurate characterisation of how the articles referenced portray the situation; I think the "who says this" tags can go. Maybe put a cite at the end of each paragraph. Antandrus (talk) 14:18, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Shuffle to create "Influence" section; query re leFranc and Wiki dictionary link
Made "Influence" a separate section, I figure if anyone wlaks away with automatic response Dun:Cont. ang., fons et origo, he's ok. Use of cantus firmus extra credit (althougbh I thought that was Power).
- Did leFranc say that D. influenced Dufay and Binchois? You'd think I would have asked for that clarification first before writing it.
- I thought the transl. of "contenance" was kind of klutzy, so I cheated sort of and put in the exact translation, figuring a) people could remember "the knight of the woeful countenance, and
-
- b) I will link it to Wiki dictionary. Trouble is, I don't know how.
Adios,
