Josquin des Prez (Josquin Lebloitte dit Desprez) (1455-1521) was a Franco-Flemish composer of the Renaissance. He is also known as Josquin Desprez. He is also known as Josquin Desprez, or in Latin, Josquinus Pratensis or Josquinus Pratensis.
Widely considered to be one of the most famous composers of his time, ranking as genius between Guillaume Dufay and Palestrina, he is renowned for having mastered the high Renaissance style of polyphonic vocal music that was popular during his time.
The following essay describes the 6 core values of Excellence, Community, Respect, Personal Development, Responsible Stewardship, and Integrity, and using specific examples demonstrates how Josquin des Prez does or does not meet these categories.
Excellence
As it sounds, excellence is the value of maintaining a high degree of perfection in one's contribution. The artist (or individual) uses his talent to the maximum, he sharpens it and works on it until it becomes the very best that it can be. This takes perseverance and skill. Josquin des Prez certainly obtained this as we see not only from his reputation but from the following examples: theorists such as Heinrich Glarean and Gioseffo Zarlino rated his style perfection (Wegman, p. 21 -- 25.). Contemporaries remarked on his supreme melodic gift that was coupled with his , and respect and creating a socially responsible environment.
De Prez had a resounding influence on his community to the extent that writers of his time from disciplines that were utterly distinct from music, such as Baldassare Castiglione (who was also a soldier, priest, and merchant) and Martin Luther glorified him (Wegman, pp. 21 -- 22..)
Respect
Respect refers to the individual's pride and dignity in the talents of himself and others. It refers to a feeling of self-respect and respect for others.
Whether or not De Prez respected others is unknown. Others certainly seemed to have respect for him due to the fact that more than 370 works are attributed to him, many begin by copyists who wished to assume his name (Wegman, p. 28.). The artist's reputation was colossal, both in his time and in the present ages.
Referring to his own self-pride, the artist certainly seemed to respect himself. He was willing and eager to take risks, as described later on. He also was eager to expand his horizons, spanning, according to Heinrich Glarean, the abilities of being both a "magnificent virtuoso" as well as exceling in "mockery" (i.e. satire). The artist, therefore,…

Respect for Authority Linguistically, the English word "authority" is derived from the Latin auctoritas, which means advice, opinion, influence, or command. The word has a number of contextual meanings -- in politics and government it usually means power "the ability to influence," and somewhat of a claim to legitimacy; in psychology it means power over the individual; in political philosophy it means balancing freedom of action with the greater good; and
The new definition, critics contend, is nonsensical as "it would be highly unusual for any employee, even a Vice President of Human Resources, to spend more than 50% of his or her weekly time doing hiring, firing and disciplining employees" and direction forms the bulk of most supervisor's job responsibilities (RESPECT, 2009, Foster Swift). Approximately 8 million current workers would be declassified from their current supervisory status (RESPECT, 2009,
While it does not in any way excuse illegal hostile actions against non-combatants, it does illustrate that one of the purposes of having rules for war is, precisely, to avoid some of the consequences that are readily foreseeable when either side violates them. In many cases, North Vietnamese civilians were directly involved in supporting the war effort. Frequently, combatants disguised themselves by day as civilians and then attacked U.S. forces

It is important to examine some of these issues and the facts concerned with this subject. Mummies The burial sites of mummies are constantly being disturbed under the guise of studying the past. In 2003, German researchers disturbed a crypt of a 2,500-year-old mummy in
Respect on the Lifespan of People of All Ages Respect in relation to lifespan Historically, the life span or longevity of the human being has been the focus of the studies of anthropologists. However, in more contemporary times the field of psychology has realized the inherent impact that psychological factors have upon the lifespan of the individual. Furthermore it has been realized that various factors impact the human lifespan. Those factors
Respect and the Thought Police'": Illustrating Socrates' "Gadfly Analogy" from Plato's Apology Webster's New American Dictionary defines "gadfly" as "a person who annoys, esp. By persistent criticism" (p. 213). By that definition, Socrates' critics certainly would have considered him one. (It is easier to decide someone is a mere "gadfly," rather than an astute social critic, or a rare perceiver of truth should one feel offended by the "gadfly." )
