Jacob Obrecht (c. 1457/58 – 1505), Flemish Renaissance composer
Jacob Obrecht | Obrecht |
The only record of his having been a composer is the attribution to "Malcort" in a Ferrarese manuscript of the textless rondeau Malheur me bat; while this Malcort may have been Hendrick Malecourt, who was a singer in Bergen op Zoom around the same time, and worked directly with Obrecht, Abertijne Malcourt is currently considered to be the most likely candidate.
Many versions of the chanson were produced including those by Ockeghem, Josquin, Pipelare, Verbonnet, Obrecht, Pirson, Brumel and Agricola.
This massive work includes writings on philosophy and biography in addition to music theory, and includes no less than 120 complete compositions by composers of the preceding generation (including Josquin, Ockeghem, Obrecht, Isaac and many others).
These discs, mostly for the Supraphon label, included a great many world premiere recordings of composers such as Dufay, Ockeghem, Obrecht, and Jacobus Gallus, as well as of more frequently performed masters such as Palestrina, Lassus, Monteverdi, Dowland, Tallis, and Orlando Gibbons.
She finally gets back to Port Charles, but is held in captivity by Obrecht & her partner, Cesar Faison (Anders Hove).
He claimed in his Toscanello in musica (1523) that he had been friends with Obrecht, Josquin, and Heinrich Isaac in Florence If true, the time frame would have been most likely in 1487 (Bergquist 1964, 24).
After Faison escapes from prison with the help of Obrecht, and Anna learns from Nikolas Cassadine that Obrecht has been to Cassadine Island, Robert and Anna decide to pursue them to Cassadine Island, hoping to find Robin still alive.
