Talk:Quodlibet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

uh... 'libet' does not at all mean 'freely'; rather, libet = is pleasing

[edit] Why doesn't "Mashup" reference this page?

I'm not sure what the difference between 'Mashups' and regular quodlibets is.

Could that be a new reference? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fionnbharr (talk • contribs).

I think the term "quodlibet" is traditionally from classical music. People who make mashups might not know the term, though it might be an interesting way of describing what they do. There's also a difference in that mashups sample actual recordings, while quodlibets in this article involve taking part of another song and actually playing it on your own instruments within your own composition. --Grace 01:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] thirteenth century?

The article says "popular through the thirteenth century (1300s)"

The thirteenth century was the 1200s. The 1300s were the fourteenth century. Who originally wrote this sentence? Which is correct? --Grace 01:14, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
