Wolfgang Schmeltzl's (um 1505
Kemnath/Oberpfalz - 1564 St. Lorenzen bei Neunkirchen/Lower Austria)
songbook (Liederbuch) ''Guter seltzsamer und kunstreicher teutscher
Gesang'' (Nuremberg 1544) differs greatly from other printed songbooks
of the period in terms of its contents. Beyond that he wanted to help
spread the forms of chanson and madrigal - or at least their musical
style - in Germany. This collection consists mainly of anonymous (and
therefore probably by Schmeltzl himself) works which can be divided
mainly into two groups. Based on their compositional techniques, these
are the so-called ''Quodlibet'' - a term that Schmeltzl used for the
first time - and the ''Priameln''. The Quodlibet is a polyphonic song
that Schmeltzl hoped would replace the German Cantus-firmus-song. The
Priameln are humorous catalogue songs in a homophonic setting.  This
collection stands as an important indication of the desire to renew
German popular music in the middle of the 16th c. (E. Stadler)
