Heinrich Emperor Maximilians I's court composer, Heinrich Isaac (1450 Flanders -
1517 Florence), was not only famous and appreciated throughout Europe
but was also one of the main represntatives of the new kind of German
song, the Gesellschaftslied. That explains why his song ''Innsbruck ich
muss dich lassen'' Innsbruck, I must leave thee) became so
popular in such a short time that new texts were set to the melody
making it both a religious song (''O Welt ich muss dich lassen''
O world, I must leave thee) as well as folksong (''Nun ruhen alle
Waelder'' Now all the woods are quiet). Even Isaac himself created a
Discant song version that employs the melody as the cantus firmus of a
Tenorlied.

The musical example presents a section of the original version; the
notated examples include a) the music of the original and b) an
instrumental version composed by Isaac. (E. Stadler)
