Simon de Lisle: Gloria Credo Sanctus Agnus Dei* Source: TrentC 88, fols. 304v-311r (c.1460-62). * The final Agnus Dei is fragmentary. From a stylistic point of view this Mass is unquestionably English. De Lisle was a common name in medieval England, and it was routinely rendered De Insula in Latin texts. |

Anonymous III: Kyrie Gloria Credo Sanctus Agnus Dei [Agnus Dei according to ModE M.1.13] Sources: TrentC 89, fols. 330v-339r (1460-63); PragP 47, fols. 152v-161r; ModE M.1.13, fols. 104v-117r. Edition: Denkmäler der Tonkunst in Österreich, 134 vols. to date (Vienna: Österreichischer-Bundesverlag, 1894- ), 22: 28-69. ModE M.1.13, although copied much later than either TrentC 89 or PragP 47, preserves what is evidently the older and more complete version of the Mass. The Trent/Prague version has adapted one of the two equal Contra parts into a more modern Contratenor bassus, bringing down its overall range by approximately a fifth, at the expense of several imitations in the upper range of the original voice. |
