Commentary
Parody fantasia. Long – 155 compases. Parody model:
Motet a5 by Gombert: Inviolata. Ward: ‘no more than a few motivic allusions to Gombert’s motet, though, in addition, there is a textural resemblance.’ (p.234). The work is basically in a free polyphonic style with several passages of diminutions, and a brief snippet in proporcion 3. Even though the model is imitative, it is dense (being a5) and ongoing; this is also true of parody. Gombert’s opening theme is briefly treated (single quotation) at 77-80, and the final cadence parallels Gombert’s at end of 2a pars: O benigna.
This fantasia shows broad diversity of resources.
Theme 1 = incipit; 2 = opening Gombert theme.
C.f. RISM 1539/7, nº 1.
