DE Revival hocket; early music; contemporary compositions; Guillaume de Machaut; Harrison Birtwistles; Hocket David; Hoquetus Petrus; reusing old techniques
AB The trend of rediscovery and usage of the earlier music traditions has been repeated several times in the history of music. Composers of the 20th century return to the music traditions of medieval and renaissance music at various levels. On the one hand, they do so practically by organizing performances, where renaissance music pieces are performed using new music. On the other hand, they do it theoretically by studying the old music and compositional concepts or by attempting to integrate their own music into music history. One of the reused old techniques is hocket, which we can find in works written by contemporary composers such as Louis Andriessen or Gyorgy Ligeti. Attention is paid also to hocket as a music form, thanks to Guillaume de Machaut's work Hoquetus David. His hocket has been remade to several arrangement and has become the inspiration for contemporary composers, for example Harrison Birtwistel and his Hocquetus Petrus.
