Packet 5: Tossup 1

A myth about the abandonment of this policy first appeared in print in a 1607 treatise by Agostino Agazzari. In the 20th century, Hugo Leichtentritt and others began to credit Jacobus de Kerle’s (“ya-KO-boos duh kerl’s”) Preces speciales (“PRAY-chays spay-chee-AH-lays”) with playing a large role in combating this policy. Carlo Borromeo’s recruitment of Vincenzo Ruffo to combat this policy was highlighted by Lewis Lockwood in opposition to the “savior” narrative popularized by a biography by Giuseppe Baini. (-5[1])This policy’s defeat is depicted in Act III of a 1917 Hans (-5[1])Pfitzner opera (10[2])titled for a composer. (10[2]-5[1])This (10[1])policy was justified as preserving (10[2])the intelligibility of (10[1])the liturgical text (10[1])in the (10[1])proposed Canon 8 of “Abuses in the Sacrifice of the Mass” issued in 1562. (-5[1])For 10 points, what musical prohibition (10[1]-5[2])did the Council (10[3])of Trent (10[2]-5[1])apocryphally abandon in response to Palestrina’s Pope Marcellus (-5[1])Mass?
