No less contentious today than a generation ago, the Josquin canon has sparked confusion since well before the composer’s death. Although modern scholars have repeatedly confronted the problem, until recently it has not been possible to tackle it from the ground up. This essay proposes a practical methodology for doing so. An Appendix classifying music attributed to Josquin by degrees of confidence can serve as a starting point for future research.
