Johannes Tinctoris
Johannes Tinctoris (born 1435 in Nivelles, died 1511) is a Flemish composer and theorist of Renaissance music. He studied and led a choir in Orleans, probably in the Chartres Cathedral. Since he was paid a vicar at the Cambrai Cathedral for four months in 1460, during the splendor of the Burgundian school, he was supposed to have studied with Guillaume Dufay, whom he had to meet there. Tinctoris moved to Naples in 1472.
He has published a number of works on music, which clearly show borrowings from authors such as Boethius and Isidore of Seville. These texts are a detailed source of contemporary composers' practice. Tinctoris is also the author of the first Diffinitorium musices and the well-known Complexus effectuum musices, in which the work embodies the religious and moral effects of music. Bibliography
