On a cultural context of secular borrowings in a liturgical music of Renaissance
Abstract
The subject of the article is a remarkable phenomenon of Renaissance music — the use of secular sources in liturgical music. In order to understand the deep connection between the secular cantus prius factus and the liturgical composition created on its basis, some secular pieces are analyzed from the point of view of translating Mariological, Christological or other themes into them. Previously unknown intertextual connections were discovered, shedding light on the specifics of the compositional process in the Renaissance.
