Tenor of "Adieu mes amours" from Petrucci's Odhecaton.

Adieu mes amours was a popular secular

Odhecaton A.[1][2]

Josquin's version

Josquin's chanson was used as the basis for works by a number of other composers, including a version by

cantus firmus compositional techniques by Francesco de Layolle, and another Missa "Adieu mes amours" by Jacob Obrecht
.

The first attribution to Josquin of this chanson is in the

Francesco Gonzaga. The chansonnier includes works by many of the great composers of the period, including Johannes Ockeghem, Johannes Martini and Alexander Agricola. It included six chansons attributed to Josquin, each with a different spelling of his name, suggesting that the copyist was not aware of Josquin prior to this, lessening the likelihood that the chanson was mistakenly attributed to Josquin.[1]

An issue in the performance practice of Josquin's setting of this chanson is whether it was a vocal piece or an instrumental piece. Although there is underlay of the text in the Florence 2794 manuscript,

rondeau refrain of the original. At least ten other contemporary manuscripts include only the incipit and no other text.[4]
