It is worth checking out the gorgeous motet Gaude virgo decus morum in VerBC 755, fols. 104v-106r, which is based on the tenor of N’aray-je jamais, quoted in strict fashion, and subjects it to augmentation and diminution. The setting probably dates from the 1460s. |

John Plummer: Kyrie* Gloria* Source: LonBL 54324, fols. 1v-2v. * Both movements are fragmentary. Passages for which all parts survive are recorded in stereo (Kyrie 2:36-3:17 and 3:42-end); in the fragmentary passages the voices have been mixed to the left channel only. There is a separate sound file featuring only the intact sections and passages. |
