!!!!1436 __ Nuper Rosarum Flores (Recently Flowers of Roses / The Rose Blossoms Recently) * Guillaume Dufay (1397-1474) * ''Comment :'' “Nuper Rosarum Flores” or Flowers of Roses/The Rose Blossoms, is an isorhythmic motet composed in 1436 by Guillaume Dufay, to be performed at the consecration of the new Florence cathedral on the occasion of the completion of the dome designed by Filippo Brunelleschi. The motet is striking for its synthesis of both the older isorhythmic style and the new contrapuntal style which would be developed in the coming decades by Dufay himself as well as his successors (such as Ockeghem and Josquin des Prez). The title of the piece stems from the actual cathedral itself, which was named Santa Maria del Fiore, or St. Mary of the Flower. The musicologist Charles Warren claimed that the proportional structure of the motet mimicked the proportions of the building itself (Warren 1973).
