Packet N: Bonus 5
This composer names a graphical interface front-end for the engraving software LilyPond. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this Ferrara-born composer who was celebrated by composers like Pachelbel and Purcell for his early organ collection Fiori Musicali.
ANSWER: Girolamo Frescobaldi
[10m] Parts of the Fiori Musicali were enshrined in a book of counterpoint by Johann Joseph Fux with this title. Debussy prepended “Doctor” to this title to parody exercise books by Clementi and Czerny (“CHAIR-nee”).
ANSWER: Gradus ad parnassum [or “Steps to Parnassus”; accept “Doctor Gradus ad parnassum”]
[10e] Though influenced more by Frescobaldi in his own music, Fux most fervently admired this earlier Italian composer who supposedly “saved polyphony” with his Pope Marcellus Mass.
ANSWER: Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina
