His musical output is particularly large and varied. Isaac was a prominent member of a group of Franco-Flemish musicians, including Josquin des Prez, Jacob Obrecht, Pierre de La Rue, Alexander Agricola and others, who achieved international fame in the decades around 1500, influencing the Italian and European Renaissance. The Latin name-form ‘Henricus’, adopted here, is found in many documents and musical sources. Henricus Isaac, ( b Flanders or Brabant, c1450-55 d Florence, 26 March 1517) was a South Netherlandish composer.
score of Issac’s Innsbruck, ich muß dich lassen can be found at: Cantata BWV 97 - In allen meinen Taten - Name that tune! - Example T1 The melody was also discussed previously at: Cantata BWV 97 - Discussions. In 1550 it was used as the basis of the CM for the CT Du Friedefürst, Herr Jesu Christ (see: CM Du Friedefürst, Herr Jesu Christ) Certainly the excellence of his settings aided in the quick dissemination of this melody so that was already being used for sacred songs as early as 1505. Without being able to provide clear evidence for their suppositions, musicologists have surmised that Isaac may have derived/taken the melody from a 15 th-century folksong or frottola, but the majority of musicologists believe that it might be Isaac’s own melody. The text used by Isaac is secular in nature and reflects the poet’s/singers’ sadness and reluctance in departing from the city where he will leave behind him his beloved as he sets forth to go elsewhere in the world. This famous melody was most likely composed by Heinrich Isaac from whose pen we have two 4-pt settings, the earliest with the melody in the tenor, the latest with the melody in the soprano part (it has not been definitely established, however, which version came first.) In any case, the earliest appearance of this melody as used by Isaac dates roughly from about 1490.
