[edit] The name

Vasquez or Vásquez? It's very difficult to know, as there are so many people with identical names, and I'm working with (often lazy concerning accents) internet sources on this at the moment. I've set up a redirect from Juan Vásquez which can be removed if someone with that name is added, or if the composer is confirmed to have that accent in his name. Lethesl 20:42, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Update: It was moved -- Spanish language sites all used the accent, and some English ones too, so I'm inclined to believe that the English articles which don't use the accent are just being lazy. Lethesl 00:52, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

The Liber Usualis is a 20th cent. publication. Vasquez could not have used it. His sources were probably the chant books being used at the place for which he wrote the Agenda defunctorum. (There was much local variation before, and even for a time after, the Council of Trent, which ended in 1564.)Ddmusica (talk) 12:01, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
