Josquin des Prez (or Josquin Lebloitte dit Desprez; 1450/1455 – 1521), often referred to simply as Josquin, was a Netherlands composer of the Renaissance. He is also known as Josquin Desprez and Latinised as Josquinus Pratensis, alternatively Jodocus Pratensis. He himself spelled his name "Josquin des Prez" in an acrostic in his motet Illibata Dei virgo nutrix. 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.
