Abstract


The fuga a quatro by Antonio de Cabezón is a four-voice canon. It is one of the most extraordinary pieces of the collection Obras de música para tecla, arpa y vihuela… because of its complex structure. Its characteristic feature lies in the partial interdependence of the subjects. In addition, we can glimpse a principle of variation which foresees a distant future: The continuously developing variation. The canon Da pacem Domine of Melchior Franck (well-known in German speaking countries) is a textualisation of the beginning of Cabezón’s Fuga a quatro, yet without any indication of this origin on the part of the composer Franck.
