General Description

This manuscript is the largest international anthology of polyphonic music of the early 15th century. It was compiled in the Veneto, in Padua 1420-5 (stage I) and Vicenza 1430-35 (stages II-III), all copied by a single (unidentified) scribe. Later additions include one textless song and a partial index compiled by Guillelmus Musart.

Contents: 323 compositions excluding one Gloria and three motets on bifolios which duplicate items within the volume and now serve as flyleaves: 3 Introits, 16 Kyries (including one chant), 61 Glorias, 44 Credos (one duplication: 31 = 88), 10 Sanctus, 8 Agnus, 109 motets, 12 laude (Italian and Latin), 19 French songs, 1 textless song (later addition), 25 hymns, 9 Magnificats, 3 sequences.

The first half of the manuscript is mainly devoted to the Mass Ordinary, the second mostly to motets. Songs appear only as late additions in stage I, laude as additions at stage III. Most of the Mass Ordinary sections are grouped into cycles (some composite: 6 whole and two partial cycles) or Gloria-Credo pairs, some of which are linked compositionally, others apparently at the compiler’s initiative.

The motets include compositions in honour of Gianfrancesco Gonzaga, the Venetian doges Steno, Mocenigo and Foscari, the prelates Stefano Carrara, Albano Michiel, Pietro Marcello, Francesco Malipiero, Francesco Zabarella, Antonio Correr, Giovanni Contarini; the Dominicans and Leonardo Dati; Pandolfo Malatesta da Pesaro, Cleofe Malatesta; Eugenius IV, Eugenius and the Emperor Sigismund. Q15 can be associated with the humanist circle around the Venetian patrician bishop Pietro Emiliani of Vicenza, which drew on a high level of local musical competence that was continued under his successor, bishop Franceso Malipiero.

About 50 composers are represented, including native Italians, the first significant English imports to the continent, and composers from the north who were sought after and made their careers in Italy. The following numbers are approximate, allowing for attributions that are contested or from other sources: Alanus 1, Antonio da Cividale 5, Antonio Romano 6, Benet 2, Benoit 1, Binchois 5, Binchois/(Dunstaple) 1, (Bodoil) 1, Bosquet 2, Brassart 8, Brassart/ (J. Legrant) 1, (Cameraco) 1, Carmen 2, Christoforus de Monte 2, Ciconia 17, Cordier 2, Du Fay 68-71, Dunstaple 4, Sarto 2, T. Fabri 1, Feragut 6, Fontaine 2, (Forest) 1, Gemblaco [Franchois] 7-9, Gervasius de Anglia 1, Grenon 3, Grossin 4, Hasprois 1, Francus de Insula 1, A. de Lantins 23, H. de Lantins 6, G. Legrant 2, Limburgia 46-50, Loqueville 5, Luca 1, Matheus de Brixia 1, Natalis 1, Passet/(Césaris) 1, Power 3-6, Reson 4, Rondelly 1, Rubeus 2, Ruttis 1, Salinis 8, Tapissier 1, Velut 4, Vide 1, Briquet 1, Zacara da Teramo 12, N. Zacarie 1. Some 30 pieces are given anonymously, of which about 10 have been attributed and are included in the above counts.

About half the compositions are unique; some others are shared with and complemented by the slightly younger Veneto manuscripts Bologna, Biblioteca Universitaria 2216 and Oxford, Canon. misc. 213, as well as numerous concordances in Aosta 15 and the Trent codices. Q.15 is the most important source for the works of Zacara and Ciconia and for the early mass and motet compositions of Guillaume Du Fay, many of them unica (nearly a quarter of the manuscript). Du Fay's Missa Sancti Jacobi can be linked to the circle in which Q.15 was compiled.

Physical Description

Of the 343 folios, only 131 leaves survive from stage I, which was similar in size to the present book; the loss of perhaps 200 leaves is attested by earlier foliations and 92 capital letters cut from it, to be pasted into the later form of the book that we now have. Fragments of music on the backs of these letters provide rich material on changing repertory and tastes of the interventive compiler over a 15-year period, and earlier datings (before 1425) for compositions only known from later copies, sometimes in different versions. The discarded folios were replaced by new repertory and by pieces recopied from the older book often with editorial changes and in different order. The manuscript thus now embodies two overlapping, superimposed anthologies, with a third of their physical material in common, and perhaps half their repertory. These findings are especially important for Du Fay, to whose new mass and motet compositions the compiler seems to have had prompt access over a long period. Two illuminations survive from stage I, one from stage II. Du Fay’s Missa Sancti Jacobi initated work on stage II, c. 1430, and survives as a plenary cycle only here.

Watermark

Five different watermarks occur on the paper folios; some of these are also found in TrentC 87, TrentC 92, and MunBS Lat. 14274 (KanP).

Foliation

Four different numberings are in current use, usually without indication of which system is being used. For a conversion chart and proposal for distinguishing the numberings, see Bent 2009. The piece numbering in the inventory uses the system by de Van, and the foliation uses the more modern arabic foliation, not the original roman.

RISM Description

RISM BIV/5

XVe s., 351ff. Papier et parchemin, 276 x 200 mm.

Foliotation ancienne en chiffres romains ou arabes, complétée sporadiquement par une foliotation moderne. La numérotation des pièces ajoutée par Martini est souvent fautive et ne sera pas prise en compte ici. Les ff. 177v (au début du ms.), 120/14, 120/20, 167v à 169, 178v, 179, 187, 206/1 sont blancs. Le f. 168 mq. Les ch. 111 et 112 employés deux fois. Les ch. 172 à 177 sautés dans la foliotation. Notation mesurée noire. 7 à 9 portées par p. Initiales enluminées en coul. L'encre ayant rongé le papier, certains incipit sont illisibles.

Ms. de la collection du P. Martini qui en donne 3 fois la description dans son catalogue (cf. Bibliographie, Ms. Misc. H. 83). Pour constituer le ms. actuel, il semble que l'on ait d'abord détruit un ms. ancien dont on a coupé les capitales rouges ou bleues pour les coller sur le nouveau ms. Sur l'une d'elles actuellement décollée, on peut voir sur l'envers quelques notes de musique de la même écriture que le ms. qui nous est parvenu. Curieusement, les capitales originales (c'est-à-dire qui n'ont pas été collées) sont absolument semblables à celles provenant de l'ancien ms. (qui ont été collées). Certains chiffres romains de la foliotation ont été transformés lors de cette réfection du ms.: CIX est devenu CXI, CVI est devenu CVIII, etc. Il s'agit donc de la copie conforme d'un ms. plus ancien dont on a bouleversé l'ordre de certains cahiers et auquel on a ajouté ensuite quelques pièces. Quoiqu'il en soit, dans le ms. actuel on peut distinguer trois étapes: J rédaction primitive.

2 premier enrichissement du répertoire et transcription sur parchemin des feuillets usés.

3 fusion avec un autre répertoire plus récent, transcription sur papier des feuillets usagés, insertion de pièces profanes aux bas des p. restées libres. On a coutume de considérer ce ms. comme provenant de Piacenza (Ambros, Besseler) comme l'indique le P. Martini lui-même (Ms. Mise. H. 83, f. 96) qui le dit «venuto da Piacenza in occasione del Capitolo dei Reverendi Canonici di S. Salvatore portatomi dal P. Monari dell'ordine sudetto nel maggio 1757.» Cependant, certains détails iconographiques (lettre ornée du n° 273), la biographie de quelques-uns des compositeurs (Ciconia, D. Luca, P. Rubeus, Christoforus de Monte, Matheus de Brixia) ainsi que les allusions historiques de certains motets (nos 206, 243, 245, 256, 273) ont pu faire supposer que le ms. aurait été commencé pour la cathédrale de Padoue, sans que l'on puisse préciser où il a subi ensuite enrichissements et transformations (Clercx). Il fut en tout cas constitué pour l'usage d'une église comme le montre le riche répertoire de musique religieuse ordonné suivant la destination liturgique, tandis que les chansons sont dispersées au hasard. Les 328 pièces (les nos 1, 31, 216, 217, 218 étant copiés en double) constituent un répertoire qui peut se situer entre 1400 et 1435 environ, Dufay avec 62 pièces et Johannes de Lymburgia avec 48, suivis par Ciconia avec 18 et Arnold de Lantins avec 17, étant les mieux représentés. D'autre part, le style de la notation ne permet pas de dater le ms. après 1440.

On a suivi la foliotation (ancienne ou récemment complétée) telle qu'elle apparaît actuellement sur le ms., substituant cependant les ch. arabes aux ch. romains.

342 folios, mostly paper but with some parchment folios as outer or middle bifolios of a gathering, 280 x 200. An old system of foliation in Roman numerals skips fascicles 11-12 and 20 (which have their own foliation), and ends with f. 318; another system of figures preceded by the letter "N" evidently represents an attempt to number the pieces, but it is quite inaccurate; modern foliation, 1-43, 43bis-190, 192-342. Rebound in new covers. Incomplete original index on first folio. Black mensural notation, with red and white coloration. Copied by a single scribe (Bent). About a third of the pieces have ornamented initials. Five different watermarks occur on the paper folios; some of these are also found in TrentC 87, TrentC 92, and MunBS Lat. 14274 (KanP).

Ca. 1420-35 (Bent). Probably copied in Padua or Vicenza (see ClercxJC, CoxM). Padre Martini acquired the manuscript from Piacenza in 1757.

Vol 4

Composers: Change " Insula-1" to "Francus de Insula-1." Physical: Copied by a single scribe (Bent).

Date/provenance: Ca. 1420-35 (Bent). Probably copied in Padua or Vicenza (see ClercxJC, CoxM).

General Note

This Gloria was copied early in stage III, without any red, on a single opening, the central bifolio removed from gathering XVII, with stage-II foliation but otherwise unused at stage II. This version (without Ct) is not indexed, is numbered but not listed by De Van, nor is it taken account of in Reaney's edition in CMM. It is the same piece as #80 (a late stage-III copy occupying two openings, with alternative 'alius contratenor'), which is attributed in the index to Brassart, a less likely attribution but nevertheless hitherto unremarked. It may form a pair with the Credo in Ao1 ff. 37v-39 (immediately following this Gloria) and Ao2 ff. 132v-135 (CMM 11/2, 82-89), both copies attributed to Jo. le Grant. 'Long' self-contained Amen.

General Note

A formal text script is used uniquely for this introit, the original first opening of the manuscript, with an illuminated S. #2, #3, #6, #7 may have been a complete Marian cycle into which the non-matching Ciconia Gloria–Credo pair was inserted. The double clefs, unusually, are not erased. The tenor /,c signature in all the Lantins movements of this cycle is exceptional; it moves entirely in breves, which equal the semibreves of the upper parts.

General Note

Short (3-note) Amen followed by long Amen, both self-contained; style and layout suggest the long Amen was added later; long Amen of I (Amen de triplo) follows Tenor, short Amen precedes it. This Gloria does not match the Credo which follows in clefs, tonality, range or alternation, although upper voices are texted and have the same range, and alternate sections a2 and a3. Inessential (expendable) Ct added later, but at the same script stage. Signature ,c presumably preceding 'Qui tollis' in I on f. A4v is not clearly visible. This Gloria & the following Credo may have been inserted into this cycle, perhaps replacing matching movements by Lantins, no longer extant. Page turn at 'Qui sedes'. Both M4 and M5 are marked in Martini's inventory with pointing fingers.

General Note

##9, 10, 12, 14, 15 identified by Fallows 1982, 165-8, as Missa Resvelliés vous. It cannot be based on Du Fay's song, which is datable to 1423, at least two years after the copying of this mass; so at best the song may use material from the mass, as proposed by Fallows. No model for the mass is indicated in Q15, and indeed the song used as a page-filler within the mass (f. 14v-15) is not Resvelliés vous. PlanchartD accepts this relationship, but prefers not to name the mass after the song; rather, he thinks that Du Fay borrowed the striking 'Qui sedes' from the Gloria for the opening of his ceremonial song. Ven presents this mass mostly in two parts (I and T), but has a Ct for this movement only; it interpolates the tropes ‘salvator noster’, ‘emanuel nobiscum’ and ‘adonay magne deus’ in the three sections.

Later-added text additions to the Ct (still within stage-I script) had started to make this a ninefold Kyrie by having three statements within each of the three musical sections, but were themselves later erased, presumably before the verso recopy, which has no sign of added text; the repeat signs for the Kyrie and Christe seem to be squashed in, perhaps later after the texting solution had been rejected. Uses pasted capital #1. See notes to Agnus (f. 16v), and pasted capitals #48 and #63.

General Note

Micinella.Long self-contained Amen. Does not meet the usual criteria for compositional pairing with the following Credo [but Fischer/Gallo & BaccoP argue for their being intended as a pair by Zacara - see bibliography]. See note on Sanctus (f. 21v) for a possible reason for the insertion of this Gloria and the Credo into a Du Fay mini-cycle. Atri, Q1 and Grot have (or had) Q15's voice II and Ct. However, all three agree in attesting some sectional voice reversal; all have Q15's voice I for 'Et in terra ... voluntatis' (Bent 1980a), possibly an original version from which Q15 is a minority variant. Variants in the Amen may also suggest part reversal. The acquisition of Lo82959 in 2007 was communicated to me by Nicolas Bell and has not yet been described in print. The verso of this single leaf (with a puzzlingly incomplete monophonic Sanctus on the recto) has I and T as in Q15. It is lavishly but amateurishly decorated with small gold-painted letters, rare in polyphonic sources; a similar gold capital is in the Zacar source Siena207. Reaney, New Grove (1980 edn), attributed the Gloria in Lbl Add. 29987, ff. 82v-83 to Zacara; Meyer 1981 (wrongly) lists it as a 3-voice arrangement of the Gloria Micinella, whereas Reaney had simply remarked on traits in common between the two works. Gaspari has added 'Tenore' in the side margin on the verso and 'Contratenore' on the recto.

5 statements of T/Ct. T canon: 'primo sine pausis, secundo cum pausis, 3o converso (or 'contrario'?) de primo'; 2nd opening 'primo cum pausis, secundo sine pausis'. Ct: 'primo sine rubeis, secundo cum rubeis, 3o converso et dicitur semper cum pausis'; 2nd opening 'primo cum rubeis et semper cum pausis, secundo sine rubeis' (not 'pausis', as in Reaney). T, Ct, no opening rests. 'Sine pausis' refers to the omission of internal rests; the third T statement is as the first; the rubric presumably ought to read simply 'ut primo'. Similarly, the third Ct statement should omit the red notes, as in the first. Red notes are not mensurally significant and simply serve the canon, being marked for omission in some statements. Long self-contained Amen. Page turn at 'Et in spiritum'.

General Note

Chant sources for the Vineux T (also for the following Sanctus & Agnus) are Tournai, Bibliothèque capitulaire, MS 471, ff. 18v–19r (troped 'Qui vertice Thabor affuisti'), Lille, Archives départementales du Nord, MS 134, frag.12, f. 2r–v (from Cambrai; it shares a fascicle with the 'Missa ad tollendam schismam'); and Paris, Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal, MS 204, f. 22v (facsimile in WrightC 1989, 137). Another polyphonic setting of a Sanctus (troped 'Qui januas')–Agnus pair, sharing much material with each other and closely related to Du Fay's pair, is in Dijon, f. 3: see WrightC 1974, also Planchart 1993. PlanchartD suggests that the Vineux pieces reflect the early and still-schismatic years of the Council of Constance, which Du Fay may have visited from Cambrai, armed also with the Loqueville Sanctus Vineux; he also suggests that Zacar may have headed the Council chapel c. 1412-13, providing a reason for the interpolation of his Gloria and Credo (18v, 19v) into Du Fay's mini-cycle. Measured incipits in T. Marked in Martini's inventory with a pointing finger.

Here paired with Credo at f.33, q.v. Both are a3, text in I only, same ranges, clefs and signatures and c mensuration. Long self-contained Amen in Gloria only (same in Apt). Sectional, tonal and especially stylistic differences weaken claims of a composed pairing. But Reaney (CMM 11/1) et al. suggest a pairing with Credo at f.49v (Tapissier), with which it shares clefs and signatures, mensural scheme and tonality. Both are in Apt, which does not scribally pair movements. The Tapissier Credo Amen in Apt is more similar than the Tapissier Amen in Q15 (f. 49v) to the Cordier Gloria Amen (Q15=Apt), qualifying them as a pair in Apt. See Palmer 1998 and note to #44.

General Note

Paired with following Credo, well matched. Short self-contained Amen with fermatas, followed by very long self-contained Amen with trope, all texts unique to Q15: 'Resurexit dominus Alleluya/Et aparuit petro Alleluya': a common phrase most often found in the Peregrinus plays (PlanchartD). French trope texts added to Amen at stage II: 'tu ma monte su la pance et riens na fait /otre te reface dieu que ce ma fait'. (BU includes Q15's stage-I vernacular Credo trope, on which see note on Credo following, but not this one for the Gloria, added later; this may be significant.) The long Amen ('aliud Amen') is present in all sources except MuEm. Ao 62v has (textless) upper parts labelled primus and secundus discantus. In Ca11, short Amen precedes long Amen, also textless, no tropes. Ct in long Amen is grammatically inessential but is compositionally integrated with the imitative presentation of the trope. PlanchartD suggests that the two Amens are alternatives, one for most of the year, one for the Easter season, but that both may now be sung. Page turn at 'Quoniam'.

parts

General Note

Paired with preceding Gloria, well matched. Short self-contained Amen (4-note, with fermatas) followed by very long Amen, also self-contained, with tropes. Short Amen followed in all sources by long 'aliud Amen' as in the Gloria, except Ca11 where the short Amen is 'aliud' and follows the long. Only Ao is textless. Q15 texts, in I: 'Dic Maria quid fecisti postquam Jesum amisisti'; II: 'Matrem flentem sociavi, quam ad domum reportavi'; Ct: 'Et in terra me prostravi et utrumque deploravi'; T: 'O Maria noli flere, iam surexit Christus vere' (from the prose Surgit Christus cum trophaeo, AH 54, 366: PlanchartD). For all except the first of these, as a second row of underlay, ‘La vilanella non e bella se non la dominica’, apparently quoting an Italian song tune in all voices in turn, all texts added at stage I. BU thus varies the void-notation musical 'quotations': I, 'Dic Maria quod [q'd] fecisti postquam yhesus ammisisti'; II (informal script), ‘la vilanella non e bella se non la dominica'; T, no text; Ct (informal script), 'Et in terra me prostravi et utrumque adoravi'. Ca11, Ca6 long Amen texted 'O Maria virgo pia esto nobis propitia' (notated with '3', Q15 red) in all four voices, 'an all-purpose Marian trope' (PlanchartD), could be a Marian sequence (Honisch 2006). Ct in long Amen is grammatically inessential but is compositionally integrated with the imitative presentation of the trope. PlanchartD suggests that the two Amens are alternatives, one for most of the year, one for the Easter season, but that both may now be sung. Page turns at 'Crucifixus', 'Et unam'. M39 is marked in Martini's inventory with a pointing finger. 37' has been added in modern pencil at the top of f. A37v.

parts

General Note

Paired with following Credo, well matched despite the different ascriptions. Accepted (by Besseler and others) as a work of Du Fay. Schoop 1971, 48-9, argues for authorship of Hugo de Lantins, as ascribed in Ao and Q15, where in both cases it is paired with Du Fay's Credo, and suggests that the Ox copyist 'corrected' the ascription on the wrong piece, Ox #124. Or was it ascribed to Du Fay in Ox on the assumption that pairs must be by the same composer? Fallows 1995a agrees with Schoop, but indexes this only as a work of Lantins, and the Gloria Ox #124, ff. 59v-60, attributed to Hugo, only as a work of Du Fay; although probably correct, this conceals the actual attributions. Fallows 1982, 175-7 suggests some kind of cooperation or rivalry between the two composers. Short (2-note) Amen, not self-contained.

General Note

Paired with preceding Gloria, well matched. Palmer 1998 notes musical links (cadential, textures, Amens and rhythmic patterns) with the Gloria; Endo 1999 suggests scribal editing to match the structure better to that of Gloria. Palmer suggests that the long self-contained Amen (in Q15 only) might be by Fabri (composer of the Gloria), replacing an original Tapissier Amen (allegedly the short Amen in Apt, more consistent in style with the Credo); it is disparate from the body of this Credo but similar to that of the Gloria, particularly its Amen; but more likely by the Q15 scribe. Otherwise there are strong grounds for pairing this with Cordier Gloria at f. 32v, matching in clefs, voicing, finals; also by same scribe in Apt, where they have similar Amens, that of Cordier being 'contained' in Tapissier's (Stäblein-Harder 1962, Palmer 1998).

Paired with following Credo, well matched in alternation, cleffing, tonality, mensuration. 2-note self-contained Amen with fermatas. Trope text AH 47 p. 279, celebrating the end of the Schism, set as duets. Earlier thought to have been associated with the Council of Constance (Reaney CMM 11/7, p. IX); DiBacco/Nádas 1998 (and Bent 1998a, 29) instead propose Pisa 1409, when Salinis was present as a familiar of the new Pope and singer in his chapel, and this election was thought, prematurely, to end the Schism. 'Contratenor' inscribed on first opening (only), but no music was copied. 'Hugo' is the indexer's only obvious error; he may momentarily have confused Hugo de Lantins with Hubertus de Salinis, but correctly has 'Huberti' for the next occurrence. Page turn at 'Qui tollis'. M64 and 65 are marked in Martini's inventory with pointing fingers.

Irregularly paired with previous Gloria. Long self-contained Amen. Parody of the ballata D’amor languire, identified by Nádas/Ziino 1990 from newly found leaves in Lucca. For the reading 'Scabioso' instead of the form Scabroso adopted hitherto, see Marchi 2000, ch. 7, 99-102, who points out that the music of 'Et incarnatus' quotes literally the opening of the piedi of the ballata, where the words are Grattar como rognoso, e non ò scabi. Discussed along with other 'borrowings' in Cuthbert 2004. Page turns at 'Et incarnatus', 'Qui cum patre'. No Martini number (71) was entered on the second opening.

The text alternates between upper parts of this short setting, labelled cursiva in Ox. The small pasted L on the recto may possibly have been cut from an earlier copy of the same Gloria (on account of the unusualness of Glorias starting at 'Laudamus'); this gathering was disturbed in order to insert this Gloria, uniting it with Loqueville's Credo #62; see note to #60.

Ct: 'Laudamus te dicitur ter primo et secundo ut iacet tertio per semy'; no rubric for T, which must do likewise. As in 'Doctorum principem' at f. 299v, the need to alter a semibreve before another semibreve signals that this was originally conceived in Italian notation. Both pieces require the reinterpretation of the same notated tenor in imperfect and perfect mensurations.

General Note

Irregularly paired with preceding Gloria. Short self-contained (2-note) Amen in Q15, long in Bar853, which is seriously mistranscribed in PMFC 23 due to a misunderstanding of coloration. The three versions differ considerably. All except the first verso was recopied, with textless Ct and T. Uses pasted capitals #8, #9. See pasted capitals #32 and #42 for stage-I copy. Strohm 1992, fn. 63 suggests that the unusual name of the papal singer Johannes de Semeriaco was 'corrected' to the familiar Latin name of Cambrai (Comeriaco, Cameraco). Coussemaker transcribed Stras only to 'erit finis', presumably the first opening? Q15 page turns at 'Et incarnatus', 'Et in spiritum'.

= #1, q.v. This two-opening copy (stage III, fine pen), has an additional alius contratenor not present in the single-opening #1 (early stage III), nor in Ao; it does not participate in the figural self-contained Amen, but was completed editorially by Reaney. The hitherto unnoticed attribution of this Gloria in the Q15 index to Brassart (though anonymous in both Q15 copies) competes with the Aosta attribution to Jo. le Grant. Three substituted stage-III bifolios in the middle of gathering IX (R101-6) have stage-III roman foliation without red. Page turn at 'Qui tollis'.

General Note

Paired with following Credo, well matched. This anonymous pair is attributed to Gemblaco by Feininger in DPLSER and Feininger 1975; discussed in detail by Gossett 1966, 222-31, as based on the same musical material (parody), but without reference to Feininger. 2-note self-contained Amen, variously notated (black, void, fermatas). One of only three Glorias left anonymous in the Q15 index. Late stage-III script, fine pen. Three substituted stage-III bifolios in the middle of gathering IX (R101-6) have stage-III roman foliation without red.

General Note

Irregularly paired with following Credo. Q15 has only voices I and II. Q15 shares shorter Amen with MuEm; BU for once has the longer Amen. MuEm and BU have all four parts, though with different contratenors. The editors of PMFC 23 favour Bosquet and therefore the MuEm version, suggesting that the different (and more lively) BU Ct, as well as the longer Amen, might have been added by Nicolaus de Capua.Stage-II copy with red; but the first verso (f. R106v) is a stage-III replacement without red. Martini indexes this as 'du vilage' but that must refer to the following Credo lower on the same opening.

General Note

Irregularly paired with previous Gloria. Amen not self-contained. The filiation is discussed exhaustively in Memelsdorff 2004, with reference to other Zacara mass movements. The upper-voice ornamentations of Cop are judged to date from the 1440s. Stage-II copy with red; but the first verso (f. R106v) is a stage-III replacement without red. Two bifolios in the centre of this gathering were replaced with three, hence the stage-III change of the folio number from cv to cvii, raised by two thereafter until the duplication of cxi–cxii. The additional attribution to Zacar in the margin is in the hand of Gaspari. Page turns at 'Et incarnatus', 'Crucifixus'.

The end of the Amen differs in Q15, 3 breves longer than in BU. Widaman 1988 I, 181-211 argues that the BU copies of this Gloria-Credo pair may derive from Q15. See pasted capitals #45, #13, #58. Now entirely a stage-II recopy. Presence of this piece in stage I is attested by pasted capital #45, but it was probably not adjacent to #the Credo.

General Note

Chant, paraphrased in voice I, is an Italian variant of Kyrie GR VI (Melnicki 1954 #47), for semiduplex feasts in the use of the Roman curia (Kovarik 1975, MMMA 19, XIII). PlanchartD reports that the Q15 rubric shows that in Du Fay’s time it was used for major semiduplex feasts; that Besseler failed to identify the chant because the opening melody uses the melody found in the modern Vatican books as Christe 5; that the Q15 scribe suppresed the chant in all the Kyries he copied; that since this particular Kyrie, in its Italian form, has the shape ABA CAC DED’, and since Du Fay’s setting paraphrases Kyrie 1 (A), Christe 2 (A) and Kyrie 5 (E), it is obvious, as Kovarik 1975 argued, that all Du Fay’s paraphrase Kyries were intended for alternatim performance, even though Q15 presents only Kyrie, Christe, Kyrie (sectional) with no repeats or chant indicated. Late stage III, fine pen. The added 'Martini' number 128 on f. A127 recto appears to be by Gaspari.

See note to Gloria f. 128v. Long Amen, not self-contained. Page turns at 'Crucifixus', 'Et unam'. Late stage III, fine pen.

General Note

Plainsong incipit in T, Benedictus in I. Duos are all signed /x. T part of 'Qui venit' duo is below the following Agnus on f. 133v; Ct cue is on f. 134. PlanchartD reports that the music for the Agnus Dei which follows is a literal repetition of the first 58 bars of the Sanctus except for the perhaps inauthentic addition of two concluding measures in Tr92; the identity extends to the first two intonations of the Agnus Dei. No plainsong version of the T has been found, and probably none existed; PlanchartD argues that the intonations were surely written by Du Fay for this piece; they follow the exact pattern he used for the intonation of the Sanctus and Agnus Dei of the Missa sine nomine (f. 15v, 16v). Late stage III, fine pen.

General Note

Agnus paired by Tr92 scribe is not in Q15; designation 'papale' in Tr92 only. Chant incipits preceding I (Sanctus), T (Benedictus), both void and measured, in C4b clef. Divisi notes. The duo voices are written consecutively in I; 'secundus contratenor' following Ct has the Ct 2 part unique to Q15 for Besseler's edition section D, followed (with clef change) by cantus II for section E, squashed in. Cantus II in Tr92 and Tr93 is notated within the Ct part, neither of which has the Contratenor secundus for section D. On f. 136, T music for Osanna is marked 'vacat' and rewritten on the following verso. Discussed in Fallows 1982, 180-1, and Planchart 1998, who notes that it was surely composed for the papal chapel when it had choirboys (1425-7). Note (on f. 135) the pasted stub of a removed but fully written leaf. F. 137 is blank. Page turns at 'Domine deus', 'Osanna'. Late stage III, fine pen. M135 and 136 are marked in Martini's inventory with pointing fingers.

Introit: plainsong introit for apostles (LU 1304) in T. Chant incipit of antiphon in T, of psalm and end of doxology in I. 'Repeticio': intonation in I, which also paraphrases introit for apostles. According to PlanchartD the repeticio is a second setting (a3) of the Introit. See also Planchart 1976, Bent 1999. This plenary mass was possibly assembled for the first time in Q15, c. 1430.

Duets written successively within I, not within differently-cleffed Ct (see Bent 2004b). Duos cued in T and Ct. The very long Amen is self-contained, except in Tr92, where the Amen differs and is continuous from the preceding section, which also differs from the other sources. The Q15 Amen is as in Ao and Tr87, but Tr87 has voice I only (on f. 153v) and omits Ct and T, filling the remainder of the opening with a Du Fay song. Both Amens appear to bear (fleeting) motivic connections to the body of the movement, showing the difficulty of assigning priority on such grounds (Honisch 2006). May have been in stage I; see pasted capital #52. Page turn at 'Et ascendit'.

General Note

Irregularly paired with following Credo. Very long Amen, not self-contained. For mensuration signs in the various sources, see Bent 2000, table 12.6. Q15's pairing with the Credo (also in Ox and Tr92) is weaker than with Kaye 1992 #1b (paired in Ca6), not present in Q15. Ca11 does not pair movements. That Credo is identical in structure and vocal scoring; musical motifs link the two movements. See also Kaye 1992, Bent 2004b, Endo 1999 and notes to paired Credo following. Duets are not self-contained, linking to sections a3 with terminal cadences (as in Credo Kaye #1b). 'Contratenor' so labelled on second opening only; it alternates Ct function with that of duets while the T rests. Uses pasted capitals #32, #33. Feininger published Kyrie (f.124v) and this Gloria-Credo with a Sanctus and Agnus as a 'missa de angelis'. Page turn at 'Qui sedes'.

General Note

Irregularly paired with preceding Gloria. Despite identical clefs, signatures, finals and similar ranges, the different vocal scoring alternation, texting, cadence pitches and mensural scheme and style weaken this pairing; see Kaye 1992, Bent 2000, Endo 1999 and note to the Gloria. Duets and sections a3 are self-contained. Very long self-contained Amen in Q15, Ca and Ox; much shortened in Tr92, which Palmer 1998 thinks is the original; Honisch and I disagree. Ox index labels this 'Aversi'. The scribe might have presented this as an a versi piece had it been in stage I; see Bent 2004b, and for texting and layout in other sources. Uses pasted capitals #34, #35, #36, #36a. The section 'Qui ex Patre' is quoted by Tinctoris, Proportionale musices III.2, from a 'libro ... regio' (royal book), as 'autenti triti irregularis': see Bent 2000, also (table 12.7) for mensuration signs in the various sources.

Plainsong alternation in T, paraphrasing Mass XIV. No music provided in Q15 for Amen; word 'Amen' in I only. Tr92 provides an 11-note monophonic Amen in clef C4. Chant and polyphony are exactly out of phase with Tr92, ff. 91v-92 (CMM 1/4 #25), but the two settings cannot be merged (Hamm 1964, 76). This complementarity is reflected in Gaspari's note at the foot of f. A171: 'N.B. nelle due seguenti pagine trovasi la musica del coro non notata nelle presenti'. Not attributed by the main scribe; the Q15 indexer corroborates Tr92's attribution to Du Fay, adding the designation 'de feria'. Stage-III addition on opening left blank at stage II, no red except for foliation.

General Note

This mass, headed 'Missa Ar de lantinis', previously known in the literature as Verbum incarnatum, was redesignated O pulcherrima by Strohm 1990 and Strohm 1993, 176-7, being related to Arnold's antiphon of that name, Q15 f.216v. Sectional, all nine statements composed and texted with trope. All movements have a clear headmotive; see the Sanctus and Agnus for their different notation. Index lists it as 'Kirrieleyson ar de lantins panis angelorum', which is the text of Kyrie 2. Widaman 1988 I, 221-35 observes that the unusual recto-verso layout of this and the following Gloria in Ox supports Reaney's case for Q15 copying from Ox. Redundant repeated sectional labels and signatures in Ox suggest copying from a bunched layout (Bent 2004b). Uses pasted capital #48. M172 and 173 are marked in Martini's inventory with pointing fingers.

General Note

Attribution of the Gloria to Lantins is only in the Q15 index, but it directly follows the attributed Kyrie on the same opening, and the attribution of the mass on the first opening is taken to apply to the whole cycle. Ox additionally attributes it in the index. See Kyrie f.172v, also for the designation O pulcherrima of this cycle, previously known as Verbum incarnatum. Self-contained Amen has 14 notes all with fermatas, in groups punctuated by breve rests. Ox punctuates less precisely; BU notates it without ligatures or rests, re-rehythmicised. Q15 and Ox only have the opening of the Gloria in canon ('fuga trium temporum' in Ox and Q15), with 'Tuba sub fuga'; BU has a shorter, non-canonic opening.

General Note

Irregularly paired with Credo at f. 182v. Alternating text and melisma between the upper parts; possibly English (Hamm 1968), older Old Hall style (example Queldryk?) , but not a matching pair with the Credo, q.v. Self-contained Amen. Pasted capital #56 contains music from the original stage-I copy of the recto; pasted capital #54 may be the capital from the stage-I recto of this same anonymous Gloria. One of the few indexed pieces left anonymous by the indexer. Martini erroneously attributes it to Cordier, whose song fills the opening.

General Note

Irregularly paired with Gloria on preceding opening. Long Amen, not self-contained. Identified by the scribes of Q15 and Aosta as English, this Credo has been convincingly paired with the Gloria at f.192v, although they do not appear together in any manuscript. Trowell 1960 and Hamm 1968 accept the pairing and its Englishness; Curtis (EECM 42) accepts the pairing but (like Strohm 1993 and Lefferts 2003) questions its authorship/Englishness. Adjacence to the anonymous Gloria (f.181v) cannot count as a scribal pairing, as the Gloria (possibly English) originated in the first layer; there was extensive recopying in this gathering. See pasted capital #10, probably attesting presence in stage I. Uses pasted capital #55. Page turn at 'Et ascendit'.

General Note

‘Et in terra pax hominibus’, marked ‘unus’, is (unusually) not a duet but measured monophony, continuing without a stave divider to ‘bone voluntatis’ (chorus), set for I and T. Other ‘unus’ passages are duets for I and Ct while T rests. 'Long' Amen, not self-contained. Uses pasted capital #57. Pasted capital #12 was cut from the original recto, here recopied; the pre-1425 stage-I copy of this Gloria preceded a Credo, perhaps the companion to this Gloria, or perhaps removed because it did not match. The following opening (with roman folio 168) is now blank (and has no Martini number) but provided with gold P on red, on the page (late); indented for a Patrem to follow this Natalis Gloria. This ‘single-work’ composer may be Nicolaus Natalis, maître de chant and succentor at St Lambert in Liège 1421-2 (see Planchart in MGG2 supp.).

'Long' Amen, not self-contained. Trowell (New Grove II, s.v. Bodoil) attributes this Gloria to Bodoil, on grounds of its undisputed pairing with Credo at f.182v, q.v., which is attributed to J. Bodoil in Tr92. Strohm 1993, 245 rejects both the Binchois and English attributions for this pair and proposes instead a northerner in Italy. Late stage III addition on opening left blank at stage II, fine pen, no red except for foliation.

Chant GR 29*, Kyrie IX (with B flats) in T. Hamm 1965 suggests the scribe brought this together with the following Gloria, though not so intended by the composer. Sectional polyphony provided for two Kyries, two Christes, three Kyries, suggesting chant for only two sections. Grouped with Salve sancta parens (f. 195v) and the Gloria on next opening; see note to the former. The rare mensuration sign /,c occurs otherwise only in the Lantins mass at the beginning of the ms, the only other instance of Salve sancta parens followed by Kyrie and Gloria, also by a single composer. Stage-II foliation with red; no other red used. Script is early stage III.

Another candidate for the indexed piece is the anonymous Gloria at f.203v, the last Gloria in the manuscript, perhaps more likely, as it is both anonymous and lacking an identifying trope.

General Note

Sup. seul' Publ. cf. AOs n- 147Marian antiphon. First three staves of voice I only were copied; lacks T and Ct present in the other sources. It is a strange coincidence that another motet by Forest, Ascendit Christus, was incompletely copied in OH, also with an incomplete top part only. Late stage-III copy (fine pen) on opening left unused but foliated at stage II. No red. It has some of the metrical irregularity associated with some English composers including Forest and Power, a central duet for I and T. 'English cantilena' (Cumming 1999, 91-5). Presumably excluded by Cox because text has liturgical status.

General Note

Names Eugenius IV and Sigismund. It has been reckoned to be for the Treaty of Viterbo, April 1433 in a chain of misreadings detailed in Fallows 1982, 280, n. 16, who correctly endorses (as does PlanchartD) the case for the entrance of Sigismund in Rome in May 1433 made by Pirro 1940, 70; Sigismund is here 'rex'; he was crowned Holy Roman Emperor on 31 May. See also Lütteken 1993, 289-91. Edition and translation of text in Holford-Strevens 1997, 140-1, 'pure French syllabism', in decasyllables. A texted 20-breve introductory duet, self-contained, demarcated with fermata is expanded to three voices by fauxbourdon, which unusually (though appropriately) is indicated in I rather than, as usual, in the T. Two different cantus firmi are used. The first (freely composed) presents two T color statements (with proportional instruction 4/3 for color 2) each of three 30-breve taleas (no isorhythm in I, Ct). Duets for I, II close each talea, except in taleas II and IV, which have fauxbourdon specified within I during T rests. The second (non-isorhythmic) c.f. paraphrases the first phrase of the antiphon Isti sunt duae olivae (12 B, up a fourth. 101-6), followed by 21 B with fermata chords for the names of Eugenius and Sigismund (107-9), 110-13 fauxbourdon, 114-20 free section for I, II, T. I has passages 'au faulx bourdon' during T rests, and a 22-B Amen. There is no music a4 except for an incompatible overlap of fb and 4-part writing at bar 71. An erasure at beginning of T adjusts spacing in order to insert rests which were at first omitted. T was prefaced by /x over 4/3, erased, now /x only. Q15 color 1 /x, color 2 4/3, MuEm 4/3 (in I, possibly /c/3), ModB c3. Q15 color 2 written identically (perhaps copied from 2 openings?) on the same folio (A206v) with 4/3 signature, as 'Residuum tenoris O sancta pax'. There are no overlaps to confirm successive mensural relationships, but the unusual signatures /c/3 and 4/3 are hard to explain except possibly as a tempo change (see Hamm 1964, 57 n.1), since the motet is organised in perfect tempus throughout. Mensuration and tempo further discussed in PlanchartO who observes that this is Du Fay’s first motet with II significantly lower than I and even crosses below the T. See Lütteken 1993, 320 ff., 407 ff., 478; Cox 1977 I, 34-9; Cumming 1999: ‘French isorhythmic; three-voice tenor motet’; 158-63 identifies its ‘multiple generic and subgeneric references’ and discusses the startling innovations suited to the sacred – secular confluence it celebrates. Allsen 1992 #98; 212-7 discuss postlude and fb passages, and dispute the rhetorical interpretation of Elders 1981. For important text variants see Rumbold/WrightP 2006, 107 n. 179. Early stage III, no red.

General Note

T uses the first 18 notes of the Matins responsory Isti sunt agni novelli (LR 169, CAO 7012), for Saturday in albis. For papal distribution of agnus dei, 7 April 1431. Copied immediately after the later motet Supremum (#168), 1433. See Cox 1977 I, 39-42; Allsen 1992 #88, Turner 2002, Lütteken 1993, 286 ff., 312 ff., 413 ff., 440. Cumming 1999: ‘French isorhythmic’. On the occasion and performance of this work, see WrightC 1974. Two openings necessitated rewriting of the T. Color 1 (f. R191v), 'Tenor dicitur de modo perfecto et tempore imperfecto, simili modo retrogradendo' (perfect modus and imperfect tempus, then in retrograde); color 2 (f. R192v), 'Canon tenor dicitur per semi et eodem modo retrograditur accipiendo pro fine nigras' (diminished by half, forwards and then in retrograde, taking the black notes at the end). The T rhythm is arranged as fully retrogradable, a perfect rhythmic palindrome; thus, of two T color statements, each contains two identical taleas, of which the second reverses the pitches of the first. The second talea is reduced to half and retrograded in the same way, keeping the 'black' notes to the end. The final 2-note cadential ligature is here not black but void, perhaps indicating that this instruction was taken over without adjustment from a copy in void notation with a final black ligature. Within (but not between) each color the two taleas are isorhythmic in all parts. No introductory duet. Overlap from bar 85; upper voices in v while lower are still in x; sesquitertia at minim level. For /x in I, II at 92 and 111: S = M of major prolation. Early stage III, no red.

General Note

Three simultaneous texts throughout. Text of II paraphrases Psalm 54: 13-16 (Vulgate). The other two texts trope the same theme, usually defined generally as enemies of the Church, although addressed in the second person singular. Lewis 1994 links the T text to Numbers 16: 30, with resonances also in I and II, giving a revised reading of the text and relating it to psalm commentaries which see this passage as an anticipation of Judas's betrayal; she identifies and contextualises its anti-semitic thrust, including scorpion imagery, and links it to a 1434 Council of Basel decree restricting the rights of Jews. Word painting: dissonance in bars 29-31, where the cauda of cantus I matches the tail of the scorpion (Reaney, MGG VII, 102); bars 67-84, cantus II descends through an octave into hell, 'in infernum' (Cox, I, 47). Two different concurrent mensurations in second half, from bar 57 ('Hoc debet'): I, T, Ct in x, II in c. See Cox 1977, I, 42-9. Cumming 1999: ‘retrospective double-discantus’. Early stage III, no red.

II, fuga ex I: 'Est fuga de se canendo / de tempore perfecto / et simul incipiendo / et est concordans / sy placet absque contratenores'. Ct cum fuga: '[C]ontra concordans cum fuga et cuilibet per se'. Ct cum omnibus: 'Secundus contratenor concordans cum omnibus non potest cantari nisi pueri dicant fugam'. This is the only mensuration canon in Q15. Cumming 1999, 142 makes comparisons with other canonic cantus pieces and caccia procedure. The enormously important indication of the participation of boys in complex composed polyphony has been discussed, with other aspects of this piece, by Fallows 1983, 128-31. The canon can be sung alone, the parts functioning mutually as discant and tenor; or it can be sung with the 'Contratenor cum fuga' to make a three-part piece; or this Ct can be sung with either canonic part to make alternative (and rather unsatisfactory, though grammatically complete) two-part versions; or all four parts can be sung together. For the absence of a designated T see Bent 2007a. A small cross on the staff, looking rather like a deleted S rest, follows the first note of bar 64 (shown by Besseler as a signum), the exact midpoint of the motet (128 perfect breves plus final). Besseler fails to respect the simultaneous mensurations; the mensuration canon uses c and x; Ct I is signed x, Ct II c. PlanchartO notes its avoidance of cadences, and that Besseler placed this motet early because he did not like it. See Cox 1977, I 49-51. Commentary and edition/translation of text (continuous pentameters in four-line stanzas) in Holford-Strevens 1997, 120-2; it makes extensive use of rime equivoque (the same word with different meanings, or combinations of syllables that form a complete word used elsewhere. Uses pasted capital #60. '[C]ontra' had a small pasted capital, now lost, of which some decoration remains on the page.

General Note

On St James the Great. T: Ora pro nobis dominum, que te vocavit Jacobum. Acrostic: robertus auclou curatus sancti jacobi. Auclou, possibly the author of the text, was curate of St Jacques de la Boucherie in Paris 1425-7, and in 1426 secretary to Cardinal Louis Aleman, papal legate in Bologna, when Du Fay was also there. Possibly related to the Missa Sancti Jacobi, ff. 144-153 above, but see Planchart 1988, 129 on possible Bolognese provenance of c.f. and motet. See PlanchartD. Problems in this text (notably whether Jesus or John was intended in stanza 2) are elucidated by Holford-Strevens 1997, 99-102, edition and translation 117-20. Sapphic hendecasyllables in four-line stanzas with false quantities. Fallows 1982 notes large-scale voice-exchange in the upper voices. 'Tenor ora pro nobis dominum qui te vocavit Jacobum' and Ct both notated once with repeat signs and aligned mensuration signs ,c and x for two color statements with mensural transformation. No introductory duet. Each color contains two taleas, isorhythmic in all parts (within each color only) including the Solus tenor, which in this case is a lower-voice conflation only when T and Ct are sounding, but for the first 6 breves of each talea rather a trompetta-like part (see Bent 2007a). I (only) changes to /x for the end of each talea requiring S = M of ,c, and back again. See Cox 1977 I, 52-6, Allsen 1992, #96, Lütteken 1993, 302, 474. Cumming 1999: ‘French isorhythmic’. Uses pasted capital #61.

NosowR: the cantus firmus and refrain come from a sequence found among later 15th-century additions to Vicenza, Seminario vescovile, MS U.VIII.11, ff. 16v-17 (see Cattin 1970a for contents; Bent 1995 for the core of the MS as Bartolomeo Rossi’s bequest). NosowR clarifies the form: in Q15, the red bar lines in I show where to sing the refrain, the first time followed by ‘chorus Alleluya’. Lymburgia places the refrain after (4-line) strophes 2, 3, 5, 6, the Vicenza MS only after strophes 3 and 6. The Alleluya refrain itself is indicated at the very end of cantus I, signalled ‘Corus semper respondens’ in F3 clef, the T corresponding to the setting of the first two lines of the text (not four as in the Vicenza MS), presumably cueing the Alleluya refrain to be sung by all three parts.

General Note

For Christmas, with 'Noel' refrain. T chant unidentified, but similar to 5th-mode Kyrie of Mass VIII (LU 37). Two identical T color statements, each consisting of two nearly identical taleas, over which the equal cantus parts (single text) present four isorhythmic statements. 2-note Amen outside this structure. See Cox 1977 I, 57-9, Allsen 1992, #119, and 44-5 on layout of T; Noël refrains at end of each talea, with overlapping rhythmic modules in all voices, very similar to those in the piece at f. 296v, Brassart's Gratulemur cristicole. Cumming 1999: ‘French isorhythmic’.

General Note

Text is an antiphon from a rhymed Office for St James the Great (variant form in AH 26, 129-31). Presumably excluded by Cox because text has liturgical status. Allsen 1993 reports how this motet was adapted and partly recomposed from the BU Christus vincit, set as laudes for the Doge Francesco Foscari, therefore not before April 1423. Cumming 1992, 346-53 discusses the three Foscari motets (including #206 and Christus vincit). Cumming 1999: ‘cut-circle’. Major prolation becomes tempus perfectum; the void breves of BU's second half in v become, in Q15, normal breves in c. Despite anomalies and contratenor revision in the BU copy, Allsen argues that it fits the laudes text better. He leaves open the question whether Hugo was also responsible for this revision as well as the original version. There is no obvious reason why a Foscari version should have been suppressed for Q15, as it contains other music for that doge (ff. 242v, 250v).Imitative cantilena motet. 2-note Amen. Uses pasted capital #64.

General Note

To the Virgin Mary. Cantilena motet, florid style, similarities with Brassart, O flos fragrans (f.293v) (Peter Wright, New Grove II), which was copied later into Q15. Nosow 1992, 167 observes (citing Kurt von Fischer) that the first two lines quote a well-known lauda; he also compares the opening to that of Te dignitas presularis (f. 295v). See Cox 1977 I, 59-62, who observes that both uncut and cut signatures have the L-B coloration 'normally' associated with /x. Cumming 1999: ‘cut-circle’, and see 105-8; the change of mensuration comes at a different point in I. Such pieces offer some support for my arguments (Bent 1996a and subsequently) that cut signs do not necessarily prescribe diminution at this date. Final cadence divisi creates an interesting clash with T; Ct differs strongly from Tr92. Uses pasted capital #65. See WrightP 1992.

Copying Style

Void coloration. Flagged semiminims. Void minim triplets. Red bars. Fermatas on 'Salve virgo' and inconsistently for final cadence which also has void divisi in I.

General Note

Sequence text. Chant in middle voice, called 'Contratenor' in non-English sources. 'English cantilena' (Cumming 1999). Presumably excluded by Cox because text has liturgical status. Duet for I and T ('Tu preclara') marked unus in I only; Ct has 'duo' instead of rests; final duet ('Per illud') not so signalled. Attributed to Power by Hamm 1968. The Continental sources set 'Benedicta' a3, 'Tu preclara' a2, omit 'Te Deus', set 'Sanctificant' a3, 'Per illud' a2, and omit the final 'Nunc mater', which must have been a3. The English source in poorly-aligned score also omits the final section but misplaces a setting of 'Te Deus' a2 at this point, before a missing folio. Transmission problems in this piece may be due both to copying from the unfamiliar format of score, and to anomalies in the English sources. For the transmission see WrightP 1989, 227-30. Although partly on paper III, this, like the pieces preceding and following, is a stage-II copy, with pasted capitals. Uses pasted capital #68. Some stage-III paper is anticipated in stage II.

General Note

John the Baptist, sequence text (AH 39, 173, from Cambrai missals). Anderson (in progress) addresses the theological symbolism of this work and suggests a scribal pairing with the preceding Du Fay motet (f.230v) on the source sequence (Gaude virgo mater Christi), an example of the scribe's habit of pairing or grouping works. In the opening duet, II is derived canonically from I (signum, and 'fuga sex temporum' indication); rests in II, which, however, could easily complete the canon in this equal-cantus motet (as in the pieces at ff.247v, 269v, 276v, 292v). Texted introductory duet is self-contained, demarcated with fermata; rests in T, Ct are repeated before color 2; the Amen also is within the structure. Each talea is prefaced by a texted duet for I and II, the first in canon, the second free. T, Ct are isorhythmic, 1 color, 2 taleas; upper parts not. The combination of isorhythm and canon is quite rare. See Cox 1977 I, 78-80, Allsen 1992, #67. Cumming 1999: ‘French isorhythmic’. Late stage-III script (fine pen).

General Note

Equal-cantus Italian motet with echo imitation at beginning. The two texts (essentially the same but with a differing central portion) blend the texts of two responsories (not antiphons, as previously thought), both prescribed for the Annunciation and for Advent: 'Missus est Gabriel angelus' (CAO 7170) and 'Suscipe verbum virgo Maria' (CAO 7744), making 'a polyphonic, texturally elaborate paraphrase of Luke I:26-32'; see the analysis and extensive discussion of context in Rothenberg 2004, also Nosow 1997, 116, who also reports (from PesceL 1987, I, 74-7) a confraternity-sponsored Annunciation procession in Treviso, where Rubeus/Rosso was active (variously as singer, canon and magister scolarum) between 1417 and his death in 1449 (details in Nosow, New Grove II), and a 1443 document citing a performance in procession of what must be this piece: 'et a messer pre piero rosso fé el canto se canta in +[croce] di via: missus est angelus Gabriel'. The motet was sung in the Annunciation procession at least in 1443, 1444 and 1447 (NosowR). On the confraternity see also Bryant/Pozzobon 1995, 49-52. For further discussion see Owens 2008, who cites (from PesceL 1987, II 597) Rosso's obligation in 1438 to teach a group of boys the ‘canto del agnol e de la Maria’, not the motet, but rather the play performed by boys in the Cathedral later that day. Presumably excluded by Cox because text has liturgical status. Cumming 1999: ‘Italian’. Uses pasted capitals #70, #71, #72. Given Rosso's likely birthdate c. 1393, the pasted M (#70) could possibly represent a stage-I copy of this motet.

General Note

One of very few Petrarch settings before the late 15th century (others are by Ludovico de Arimino, Jacopo da Bologna). See Pirrotta 1966. The canzone form is rarely set to music, but presented as a motet (Planchart 1988b, Bent 1980b); Nosow 1992, 259-69 discusses the verse form, cites Carducci for lauda connections, and notes that O invidia and Passato è il tempo are other capoversi from Petrarch's Canzoniere. Fallows 1995a cites 'Sacrosancta immortale et degna spina' by Jacopo Brachali pistoiese (Vatican, Rossi 424 f. 208). Cumming 1999: ‘cut-circle’; 119-22 notes similarities to Du Fay’s balades Mon chier amy, Resvelliés vous, C’est bien raison, and Grossin’s Imera dat hodierno. Bujic 1991 addresses some difficulties Trecento composers might have had in setting the canzone form and shows how Dufay structured his setting according to the form of Petrarch's stanza. Petrarch's obsequies were observed annually by the Padua Chapter on 20 July. Bent 1999 suggests the 50th anniversary of his death in 1424 as a possible occasion for composition of this unusual text; the last (366th) canzone of the Canzoniere; 1424 was a leap year. Uses pasted capitals #73, #74. Pasted capital #72 almost certainly attests its presence in stage I, but with no obvious scope or reason for change. Martini annotates this: 'Le parole sono del Petrarca Canz. XLIX [sic]/morì nel 1374'.

For Francesco Foscari as doge, elected 15 April 1423. Celebrations on 23 April (St George's day), with which this may be associated; reference to 'turba' in II. See Cumming 1987, 308-19, Cumming 1992, 342-6. Text in hexameters. Equal-cantus. Cumming 1999: ‘Italian’. Ct would not have fitted on one opening with stage-I spacing, and may therefore have been added if this was a recopy. Cumming 1999 judged the Ct to be essential, on the basis of two pitch errors in Q15 (corrected in Reaney); but as in all other motets of this type it is grammatically inessential. Two sections, each of which moves from /x to c in I, II over ,c andc in T, Ct (inequality); possible notational translation of I, II from ,c with minim equivalence. Rhythmically identical in T, Ct (variations in cantus rhythms to accommodate text). ,cSee #215, #181 and Cox 1978 , 81-6, Allsen 1992, #130.

General Note

For All Saints, Trinity. T, labelled only in Ox but not Q15, 'Isti semper celestibus', is unidentified, but similar to 'Homo quidam' (AM 1189). Introductory duet with wide-spaced echo imitation, equal cantus parts, melismatic on opening syllable, not self-contained, a lengthy written-out canon for I and II, outside the structure. Essential Ct. The perfect-modus T, on one opening in Ox, is there marked 'cise per [medium]' for the second statement, which in Q15 is rewritten on the second opening with /x. Ct in Q15 ('ut iacet') has repeat signs and is not recopied on the next opening. In fact T and Ct (despite 'Canon dicitur ut iacet') are notated to fit the written values of the second statement, with perfect modus and tempus for all parts. The first statement is also in perfect modus but must be read in augmentation in relation to the upper parts, of which two perfect breves relate to one T breve (2:1). Each T and Ct statement contains two isorhythmic taleas, which correspond to strict upper-part isorhythm, 2 statements within each section. In both sources the upper parts continue across the T repeat with no change of signature. The versions of Q15 and Ox have very closely related readings. Closely related in form to Du Fay's O gemma, lux et speculum; Allsen 1992, 280-1 suggests that Grenon's motet may have been a direct compositional response to Du Fay's. See Cox 1977, I 94-101, Allsen 1992, #117. Cumming 1999: ‘French isorhythmic’. Uses pasted capitals #81, #82.

General Note

Invocation to St Sebastian against plague, possibly that in Padua of 1426-8. Erroneously dated 1437 by De Van (edition 1948, I.xiv); Besseler 1958 proposed 1429, when Du Fay was in Rome, corroborated by Hamm 1964, 41, noting plague outbreak in Rome that year; Besseler's edition later suggests 1420-6, Du Fay's Malatesta period. De Van discovered that the two cantus texts (like those of the pieces at ff. 212v, 289v) derive from the asymmetrical division of a longer poem, also that the Ct text was known. PlanchartO: the texts consist of two rhymed prayers found in numerous breviaries, collectaneae, and books of hours. See AH 33, ##191-2, RH III # 13708, and vol. V. I uses the first 29 and II the last 12 verses of one prayer, the Ct a second prayer in its entirety.) Q15 lacks 'O' for voice I, present in Ox. Texted canonic introductory duet notated within I, with signum; II has rests, though it could easily complete the canon of this equal-cantus motet (as in the pieces at ff. 232v, 269v, 276v292v). Two statements of the long T color, notated identically on both openings,both in major modus, but in ,x then /x, the mensural shift affecting only the single pair of minims in each talea. Each color contains three taleas, nearly isorhythmic in all parts within each color. No change of Ct mensuration confirms that the /x of the other parts for color 2 ('Amen') equates their S to its M, therefore that the T repeat is diminished to a third. Introductory duet and final cadence are outside this structure. The Ox incipit ‘Gloria et honore’ is probably erroroneous; no plainsong has been identified as the T c.f. (PlanchartO). See Besseler CMM 1/1 p. XIV for relationship to Du Fay's balade Resvelliés vous (1423: CMM 1/6 #11), and suggested Malatesta linkage yielding a date 1420-6. For this balade as a possible basis for the mass see notes to Du Fay's mass (f.10v). (See O gemma lux f.292v for the relationship to another balade.) Resvelliés vous indicates proportions by numerals within ,c. Cumming 1999: ‘French isorhythmic’. Double notes in I and II at bar 90 in Ox only. PlanchartO: a ligature at the same place in each talea is drawn incorrectly in both manuscripts as B–L instead of L–L. A later ‘correction’ in Ox 213 exaggeratedly elongates the first note of each ligature (rather than erasing the tail); noted but misinterpreted in Fallows 1995a. Besseler and De Van tacitly correct the error. See also Fallows 1982, Cox 1977 I, 102-9, Allsen 1992, #95, Lütteken 1993, 278 ff., 468.

General Note

On the passion of Christ, or Holy Week. Equal-cantus motet, 2 voices over free accompanying T opening with echo imitation; alternating texted sections with lively syncopated melismas. See Cox 1977 I, 109-12: II paraphrases stanza 2 of the hymn Vexilla regis (LU, 575); T quotes the begininng of the hymn melody. Both texts have the form ababcdcd: 8 (Fallows 1995). Cumming 1999, 134-8 calls it a 'retrospective double discantus motet'. It headed the original form of Ox, and can perhaps be read as a salutation of new beginnings through Church councils; we know Salinis was at Pisa (Bent 1998a, 29). Pasted capital #73 was cut from the stage-I verso.

General Note

For doge Francesco Foscari, elected 4 April 1423. See also Carminibus festos at f. 242v. Equal-cantus Italian motet with inessential and somewhat problematic Ct. Brief echo imitation at beginning. The mensurations produce ABABA form. The bracketed mensurations (c x), occur in I and II over continuing x in T, Ct. Ciconian-style close sequential minim imitations. Close affinities shown by Cox 1977 I, 112-17. Texts in classical hexameters (Schmidt-Beste 1994, 94). Cumming 1999: ‘Italian’. Paired (by Cumming 1987, 304) with Romanus #206; p. 321, text in hexameters; see also Cumming 1992, 335-41, which refers to contemporary Venetian inscriptions, and claims that the date of Foscari's election is expressed in the music: 14 breves of c (for 1400); shift to ,c (2 times 3) for 'vigenisque tribus', 23. Pasted capital #84 was cut from the final stage-I recto; for the 'O' see #216. Martini annotates this, on f. A250v: 'Nel 1328 ritrovasi/tra i dogi un Francesco Dandolo', and on f. A251v: 'trovasi un Francesco /Foscari doge/nel 1422'.

General Note

For Stefano Carrara, son of Francesco Novello, administrator of the see of Padua from 1396; dedication of an altar to St Stephen 1400; perhaps for his induction as bishop, 1402, until the fall of the Carrara 1405. Wide-spaced non-overlapping echo imitation at beginning, each statement differently accompanied by T; echo imitation also for 'Stephane'. Not isorhythmic. See Cox 1977 I, 118-23. For a contrapuntal analysis, see Bent 2003a. Cumming 1999: ‘Italian’. The stage-II verso of this composite copy contains voice I and T, the late stage-III recto voice II (fine pen). The stage-II recto is now one of the rear flyleaves and includes an inessential and problematic Ct added at that stage and rejected at stage III: see O felix templum at f.341r. Pasted capital #92 attests a stage-I copy, whose spacing would have precluded a contratenor. Uses pasted capital #84, cut from the stage-I verso of this piece; pasted capital #64 faced it on the recto. Italian notation in Ox (without Ct) offers evidence for the original version.

General Note

On God and the Trinity. Paired (by WrightC 1979, 131) with Tapissier's Eya dulcis (Ox #322); both pre-date 1417, the end of the Schism, to which they refer; perhaps even 1409 (Council of Pisa). Equal-cantus motet with essential Ct. The stage-I final flyleaf (see the Carmen at 341v) establishes presence in stage I; see also the notes to pasted capital #64. 'Carmen' is added in a later hand (Gaspari?). Complex non-coinciding isorhythm (see Allsen 1992). Two statements of T and Ct, not written out, repeats indicated. Each contains two differently rhythmicised color statements overlapped with three taleas. Of this total of six taleas, two are in each mensuration. For the shift from ,c to x the same number of minims are counted, but for the last two the T has no warning of the change to c. The cantus parts have paired isorhythmic taleas in the mensurations specified. T canon (Turner 2002, 175): 'Tibi color cantus bis pronunciandus unde duo primi [primi omitted in this recopy, present in Ox and at the Carmen at 341v] colores de maiori in tempore imperfecto. Ultimus cum primo de maiori [at f.341v illegible, Ox minori] in tempore inperfecto [both Q15 versions: Ox perfecto; Ox adds Item] secundus et ultimus de eadam in tempore inperfecto'. Ct canon: ‘Contratenor dicitur bis’ (f. R[225]); ‘Contratenor ad modum tenoris’ (f.341v): Allsen and Turner report readings incompletely. The essential Ct is consistent with presence of Solus T. See Cox 1977 I, 124-8, Allsen 1992, #77. Cumming 1999: ‘French isorhythmic’. Late stage-III script (fine pen).

Text of I enumerates 14 English musicians of the late 14th century; II is a history of music (Tubal, Pythagoras, Boethius, Gregory, Guido, Franco, to which J. Alanus appends his own name) and builds in the proportional relationship resulting from the mensurally derived color statements, 'bis sub emiolii normis recitatur', i.e. 9:6:4. For occasion and disputed dating see Trowell 1957, Bowers 1990, Bent 1977, 1998d, 200). See Cox 1977 I, 129-38, Allsen 1992 XI (p. 539). T to be read in the three successive mensurations which in the final c section, mistranscribed by Günther but correctly by Harrison, conflict with the ,c of I and II. The T is included as a music example, and named 'Sub Arturo', at the end of an early 15th-century Italian treatise in Florence, Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, MS Redi 71; ed. Carapetyan 1957. The stage-I final flyleaf establishes its presence in stage I. Here, the late stage-III verso (fine pen) faces the stage-I recto.

For Gianfrancesco Gonzaga of Mantua; feted by Venetians 1414, 1432. It doubtless precedes his naming as marchese by Sigismund, 1432, and in any case was copied into Q15 well before 1425. Nosow 1992, 53 suggested the awarding of the papal golden rose, 1418, but now retracts this (pers. com.). Equal-cantus Italian motet with wide-spaced non-overlapping echo imitation at beginning. Cox 1977 I, 139-44 describes the form as semicircular, with the form ABCBD, prefaced by the opening duet. Cumming 1999: ‘Italian’. Text irregular, rhymed. Leofranc Holford-Strevens writes (pers. com.): ‘Since someone might suppose that “Aurea flammigeri iam excedis'”was the beginning of a hexameter (completed say “sidera caeli”) with a rough but not incredible elision ‘i(am)excedis’, it might be worth remarking that the text, despite a tendency to lines of six or seven syllables, exhibits neither metrum (classical quantitative metre) nor rhythmus (regulated syllable-count with or without attention to accent), and would pass for prose if it were not rhymed.’ Originally copied without Ct at stage I. The Ct was added at stage II, but proved too long for the space available; recopied on a pasteover (now lifted), also of four staves, but in more compressed form. In I, after the passage in v the restatement of the opening (unstated) mensuration should be x but is in fact ,,c, perhaps attesting that the scribe was directly transcribing from a major-prolation source.

Da Col 2001 shows that this motet is not for St Dominic, but for someone (perhaps but not necessarily a Dominican) of that name. Christoforus de Monte (Feltre) was himself a Dominican. The text gives autobiographical information: Christoforus was born and raised in Feltre, and learned singing in the mountains that nurtured him. See Cox 1977 I, 145-8; Cumming 1999: 71, 80-2, ‘Italian’. Equal-cantus Italian motet; opens with echo imitation in I, II. Problematic Ct, probably added (Nosow and Cumming agree).

Hymn text set as a motet. On the body of Christ. Cantilena, extremely florid cantus. Cumming 1999: ‘cut-circle; transitional four-voice’.Presumably excluded by Cox because text has liturgical status. Most unusually, all voices are texted and both voices on the recto are labelled Contratenor; Allsen and I agree that both seem authentic. Some striking juxtapositions arise from logically-notated accidentals. Possibly related to the more modest Reson Ave verum at f.248v?

Easter. T unlabelled and unidentified, though clearly related to the Easter Gradual Haec dies, of which it uses the opening phrase, albeit disguised (Reaney, CMM 11/7, p. XVI). A single, fully notated color, with some approximate melodic correspondences but no rhythmic relationship between the two sections. T, Ct 2 taleas in each of the two sections, but with strong variants in the first three perfect longs of each talea of section I; section II, 2 identical taleas. The upper parts of each section fall into two strictly isorhythmic halves corresponding to the T, Ct taleas. In section I (unsigned) S of I, II = M of T, Ct. All parts are signed x for section II. See Cox 1997 I, 151-4; Allsen 1992 #120. Cumming 1999: ‘French isorhythmic’.

Marian antiphon. Chant in T. Ward 1998 writes: 'There are enough differences in the readings to make a common ancestor for the copies unlikely. The Leipzig version is accurate except for the failure to provide the necessary retorted C for the momentary passage in 4:3 diminution in the superius.'

Text of II: AH 20, 188. Both texts are those of Montpellier 52 f. 88v. Q15 replaces the last two words ('In veritate', which reflect the Mo T Veritatem) with 'mente sobria'; other variants are minor. The texts of Psallat chorus (f.279v) are also in fascicle 4 of Montpellier. Ao 169v-171 has an entirely different motet on text I, O Maria virgo davitica, with a different final couplet, three texted voices and a repeating (chant?) T (g a b a g f g d f g a b a g); if chant,it is unidentified. The second half of the motet rhythmically replicates the first, isorhythmic in all parts, plus final chord. Both Q15 and MuEm, anomalously, have I, II and solus tenor. Only Pad has the T and Ct in addition; the Ct is essential, as is characteristic of all solus tenor pieces. See Cox 1977 I, 154-7, Allsen 1992, #15. Cumming 1999: ‘Italian’. Cited in anonymous Breslau treatise (Ward 1981, 330).

Addressed to the Virgin Mary. The texts are new tropes and variants to the standard Ave Maria, used variously as antiphon, Alleluia verse, offertory and prayer. No use of chant has been identified. T and Ct repeat first 12 breves for the wide-spaced imitation of I and II (equal-cantus, different texts); T has two further isorhythmic statements of this talea, which is then restated twice in x (but not renotated) with slight mensural transformation. No upper-part isorhythm. See Cox 1977 I, 157-61, who draws attention to Tr87's variants, and Allsen 1992, #71. Cumming 1999: ‘French isorhythmic’.

General Note

On the Virgin Mary. T canon: 'iste dicitur de modo perfecto et tempore perfecto'. The notated T color contains two taleas, each ending with melodic identity. Repeat signs notwithstanding, this T is to be performed one and a half times, stopping in the middle. This results in three isorhythmic taleas; upper voices correspond isorhythmically. Equal cantus parts. Cumming 1999: ‘French isorhythmic’. See Cox 1977 I, 161-4; Allsen #8; WrightC 1974, 310, n. 7. Allsen argues (1992, 46-7) that the unusual tenor form results from clear tonal planning by the composer. He reports that Dijon gives a superior reading of the text and music of I, and that Ao’s musical and textual readings are superior to those of Q15, and notes close stylistic resemblance to contemporary motets of Cypriot-French and Franco-Burgunduan provenance.

For the Virgin. Presence in stage I confirms Hamm's dating of this piece earlier than Besseler's. See Cox 1977 I, 166-70. Cumming 1999: ‘cut-circle’. Stylistic discussion in Nosow 1992, 152-61. The text survives in three late 15th-century German manuscripts; it may be a Germanic devotional poem that found its way to northern Italy via the Adriatic coast (cf. notes to Vasilissa ergo gaude for Germanic liturgical influence there); this piece may date from Du Fay’s Malatesta period, which tallies well with its presence in Q15 stage I, and in the melodic writing of the cantus, which recalls Resvelliéz vous (PlanchartO).

General Note

Addressed to the Virgin Mary. The Sancta Maria chant is in the Ct (Magnificat antiphon, LU 1255). The T appears to carry yet another chant, not yet identified. T and Ct color in ,c containing two taleas is then repeated (written out) in c, i.e. with mensural transformation resulting in a reduction by one-third. I and II are isorhythmic within each pair of taleas. Introitus and final stand outside this scheme. 8 notated parts plus Introitus canon within I, indicated by a signum. 'Introitus' (so labelled) is untexted, self-contained (demarcated with bar). No rests in II, which starts with the texted portion, but could easily also complete the canon of this equal-cantus motet (as in the pieces at ff.232v, 247v, 276v, 292v). 'Trumpetta Introitus' is added as a third voice to the Introitus. The texted body of the motet can be performed a5 with I, II, 'Contratenor', 'Alius Tenor' and 'Tenor', or a4 with I, II, 'Solus Tenor' and 'Contratenor cum solo tenore'. Cumming 1999: ‘French isorhythmic’. See Cox 1977 I, 170-3; Bent 2007a on trompetta parts. Allsen 1992 #116; p. 508 he notes the many short imitative points in the upper voices. Strohm 1993, 243, suggests it was modelled on Pycard’s Gloria OH #28. Nosow accepts this (MGG 2, Johannes Franchois de Gemblaco) in discussing the mass music, and notes the possible identity of the composer with the ‘Jehan Francois’ named in Du Fay’s song He compagnons and thence links with other composers in Malatesta service.

General Note

For Pandolfo Malatesta, bishop of Patras, maybe for the restoration of the cathedral of St Andrew, 1426. Nosow 1992, 101-2 suggests 1424. Either date is consistent with Patras being the last place in Greece where Italian was spoken. Planchart 2008a shows that Du Fay was in Patras in late 1424, and posits that the motet was written instead for the installation of Pandolfo, adding the speculation that the text may be by Pandolfo’s father, known as ‘Malatesta dei Sonetti’. 'Introitus' (so labelled) opens with wide-spaced imitation between I and II, then Ct I and Ct II, all untexted; self-contained, demarcated with fermata. Solus T enters with Ct I and provides the normal basso seguente function. Two T color statements, the second diminished to a third: 'Et dicitur bis primo de modo perfecto de tempore imperfecto; secundus per tercium demptis primis pausis et nota sequente'. Each color contains two taleas which are isorhythmic in all parts within but not between the color statements. Introitus and final cadence stand outside this structure. Possibly a scribal pairing with Ave virgo (f.269v), with which it shares melismatic self-contained Introitus, so named, and additional parts; pairing may be strengthened (Nosow, pers. com.) by presence of Franchois at the Malatesta courts. Alternative performance solutions using the solus tenor are less obvious here than usual; if the ST must be used, it should probably be with I and II only. Edition and translation of text in Holford-Strevens 1997, 138-40. Cumming 1999: ‘French isorhythmic’, despite its Italian texts. See Cox 1997 I, 174-7. Allsen 1992 #87, Lütteken 1993, 400 ff., 438; Turner 2002. Uses pasted capital #87.

For Tommaso Mocenigo, elected Doge 7 January 1414; celebrations followed on 25 April, St Mark's Day. I[ntroitus] for opening melisma with echo imitation; equal-cantus. Additional (9th) stave on both pages. Ct (not in BU) added at stage I, but with great compression on additional 10th stave. Rewritten at stage II on 5-stave pasteover; no text or incipits. BU not only lacks Ct but is notated throughout in ,c, directly attesting notational translation in one direction or the other, probably by Q15. The doge's name is replaced by a capital 'N[omen]', a rare example at this period of recycling. See Cox 1977 I, 183-91, Cumming 1987, 290-304. Cumming 1999: ‘Italian’. Memelsdorff 1998 proposed that Fa #42 may be an intabulation of this or of a similar post-Ciconian motet. It uses a number of phrases that correspond to this motet, not, however, in the same order. Martini annotates this: 'Tomaso Mocenigo fu doge dal 1413 fino al 1422'.

General Note

For the wedding of Cleophe Malatesta and Theodore Paleologus, Mystra, January 1421, or before the bride left Rimini, 20 August 1420. See also Dabrowska 2005. Texted canonic introductory duet within I; self-contained, demarcated with bar. II has rests, though it could easily complete the canon of this equal-cantus motet (as in the pieces at ff.232v, 247v, 269v, 292v). T 'Concupivit rex', a single color. Apart from introductory duet and final cadence, the two halves of the motet are perfectly isorhythmic in all parts, i.e. without diminution. Ct is contrapuntally inessential but all four parts participate in Ciconia-like rhythmic imitations at the end of each half. Cumming 1999, 84: 'French isorhythmic motet' imitating Italian style; I would, rather, call it a tenor-based Italian motet. See Cox 1977, 191-4, Lütteken 1993, 267 ff., 482. Holford-Strevens 1997, 102-6 gives a magisterial re-edition and interpretation of this text. Allsen 1992, #99, and 113-15 notes that, despite its clearly Italian features, the rhythmic modules that close each half are identical in length and construction to those that close each talea of Rex Karole, an influential French motet of the preceding century. The chant phrase used as the color is completed in the two pitches of the cadential chords which stand outside the isorhythmic structure (Allsen 1992, 120). Fallows 1982 (1987 edition, p. 310) notes Benthem’s observations about number symbolism (number of notes) as meriting consideration.

For Pietro Marcello, bishop of Padua, 16 November 1409-28, perhaps for his installation (PMFC 24, 207). I and II are isorhythmic. T canon: 'Canon tenores dicuntur sic: primo usque ad secundam talliam ut iacent; 2o diminuuntur resumendo et sic successive alie talie procedant'. T and Ct; normal statement followed immediately by diminution; second half of the motet repeats this pattern. The upper parts are also replicated in the two halves of the motet (isorhythmic). T and Ct 'ad longum' are provided. Ct is inessential but integrated, and better than some; accompanies brief opening duet before T entry. See Cox 1977 I, 194-200; Allsen 1992 #81; Allsen 2003, 60-4 (on ‘ad longum’ parts); Turner 1999, 120; Brown 1959. Cumming 1999: ‘Italian’.

General Note

On St Lambert, patron saint of Liège. The earlier theory, that Salinis came from Slins (Salinis) near the known musical centre of Liège, is more persuasive than Besançon (pace Nosow, New Grove II; further support for Besançon is given by Nosow in MGG 2). Both texts are adapted from a widely-circulated St Nicholas motet (Montpellier #60, fascicle 4) on the tenor Aptatur. 'Aptatur' ends both triplum and duplum parts in both versions, though the Salinis motet is no longer on that tenor. 'Domine Nicholae' and 'Hac die, Nicholae' in the two original texts are here replaced by 'Sancte Lamberte'; other variants are minor. Cumming 1999: ‘retrospective double-discantus’. Cf. also O Maria virgo at f.262v. See Cox 1977 I, 204-6.

General Note

Rondeau quatrain, octosyllables, in a woman's voice. See Fallows 1999 for further bibliography. Bent 1998c takes this song as a paradigmatic example of how dyadic primacy and Ct instability are often poorly reflected in modern editions; it was copied in one MS (Ox) with I and T, in another (Q15) with Ct, in yet another (EscA) with an entirely different Ct, attributed by Besseler 1950, 49 to Du Fay. Strohm 1993, 148-9 thinks that the trompetta-like alternative Ct parts to Fontaine's songs, including this, are by him and date from the 1410s, despite the early date of the Q15 Ct. The Q15 attribution has a tilde over the letter t, significance uncertain.

General Note

For a pope or other magnate? T canon: 'Tenor iste dicitur bis, primo de modo et tempore perfectis, secundo per tercium sed prime pause non dicuntur'. 'Tenor ad longum' added at stage II (script, no red). Accordingly, the first statement consisting of three taleas is restated in diminution to a third, omitting the rests of the introductory duet, which stands outside this scheme. Opening melisma on first syllable of that duet, not self-contained, with wide-spaced echo imitation. No upper-part isorhythm. 'Deus' is often given as 'decus' (including in CMM) from a misread erasure of the same words (I: 'gne deus potenci', II: 'nus rega') in order to reposition the syllables. For the problematic dating, see Lütteken 1993, 286 ff., where he acknowledges that presence in Q15 must place it no later than the early 1430s. In fact, its presence in the first layer dates it before 1425. Bent 1998a, 34-5, rejects earlier ideas that it was for the 1431 coronation of Eugenius IV and suggests a possible papal connection with Martin V during Brassart’s Rome visit 1424-5. Cumming 1999: ‘French isorhythmic’. See Cox 1977 I, 213-16; Allsen 1992 #73. Allsen 2003, 52-4 (on ‘ad longum’ part).

He and Di Bacco/Nádas 1994, 33 suggest that it is addressed to three Peters: St Peter, protector of the new Pisan Pope Alexander V, 1409 (Pietro Filargo), and a third Peter, Pietro Marcello, bishop of Padua from 1409. The Padua connection, based on Ciconia’s presence there, and presumed in PMFC 24, 209, is superseded in Bent 1998a, 25, where the third Peter is proposed as Pietro Emiliani, bishop of Vicenza from 1409 and a protegé of Filargo. Cumming 1999: ‘borderline 2v’.

General Note

On St Francis, Francesco Zabarella and Franciscans. First words in Ox: 'Ut te per omnes'; Q15: 'Ut per te omnis'. See f.299v for Ciconia's other Zabarella motet. The two halves of the motet are rhythmically replicated, i.e. isorhythmic in all parts. Inessential Ct (C4) present in Ox only (presumably added to a composition originally without it). Ligaturing at end of T changed by erasure from the paired S of Ox to groups of three S (two in ligature, one separate); neither would work in pure Italian notation. See Cox 1977, 238-42, Allsen 1992 #82, Cumming 1987, 220-9, with reference to the relationship between San Francesco and Francesco Zabarella, especially in Padua. Cumming 1999: ‘Italian’.

General Note

On St Nicholas of Bari (Myra). T: Antiphon for Vespers and Lauds for St Nicholas: Beatus Nicolaus adhuc puerulus multe ieiunio maceratus corpus. Facs. PM XII, 42 (CMM 1/1 p. xiv). Dated in the 1420s (see Cox 1977, I 250-3; Allsen 1992 #94; Lütteken 1993, 462 and elsewhere). Allsen 1992, 268-80: probable compositional relationship with the St Nicholas motet by Hugo de Lantins Celsa sublimatur/Sabine presul with which this is paired in Ox. Edition and translation of text in Holford-Strevens 1997, 125-9; irregular accentual iambics. Untexted opening melisma on first syllable, continuing with text, canonic introductory duet, indicated by signum, self-contained, demarcated with fermata. II has rests, though it could easily complete the canon of this equal-cantus motet (as in the pieces at ff.232v, 247v, 269v, 276v). T canon: 'Qui dicitur sic: primo de modo perfecto et tempore imperfecto maioris prolacionis. 2o tantummodo primus color resumitur de minori imperfecto, servando modum, primis pausis demptis'. One and a half color statements, the first divided into two taleas, isorhythmic in all parts. T of color 2 diminished by one third by mensural transformation, but with no upper-voice repetition or internal isorhythm. Introductory duet and final cadence stand outside this scheme. Ct inessential but integrated. Cumming 1999: ‘French isorhythmic’. Melody and rhythm are similar to the balade Je me complains (Ox date 1425, also with flagged semiminims; CMM 1/6 #1) cf. CMM 1/1, p. xiv and comments to Sancte Sebastiane (f.247v). Uses pasted capital #90.

The restatement of the opening mensuration x after the fermatas is not taken to imply a change. See Cox 1977 I, 255-7. Cumming 1999: ‘cut-circle’.

General Note

For Christmas; imitative 'noe' close both refrain and stanzas. Allsen 1992, 48-9, n. 31 observes close musical similarity between these and the ending of each talea of Grenon’s Christmas motet, Nova vobis gaudia (f.214v), in each case with a rhythmic sequence using similar modules. Opening refrain 'Gratulemur' is to be repeated after each of 7 quatrain stanzas, the last 6 of which are written under II. This strophic form with refrain is otherwise found in Q15 only in laude; so classified in Nosow 1992, 116 and Cumming 1999, 321 n. 12.Wright (New Grove II) calls it 'cantio'. See Cox 1977 I, 257-60, processional hymn, refrain before and after each stanza. Early stage III, no red.

For Francesco Malipiero, bishop of Vicenza, May 1433. After this date, his name was erased and that of his predecessor (Pietro Emiliani) substituted; finally, the indexer visibly deleted Emiliani's name and restored that of Malipiero. Seeing only this last correction, earlier scholars believed that the motet was originally written for Emiliani in 1409 and recycled for the new bishop. Fallows expands Ox attribution to 'Beltrame' as in Ox #5. See Cox 1977 I, 261-5, Bent 1987, Bent 1999. Cumming 1999: ‘cut-circle’.

General Note

For Francesco Zabarella (see also Ut per te omnia, f.289v). 3 T statements repeated in different mensurations. As in the Gloria at f.96v, the need to alter a semibreve before another semibreve signals that this was originally conceived in Italian notation. The scribe compensated for this with an instruction to override the French rule: 'Et dicitur primo imperfecto 2o perfecto minori semper ultima semibrevis alteratur 3o imperfecto minori'. Both pieces require the reinterpretation of the same notated tenor in imperfect and perfect mensurations. There is no isorhythm; I withdraw the classification of this motet as isorhythmic in PMFC 24. Cumming 1999: ‘Italian’, but not as she states, ‘double-statement', as there is no replication comparable to the others in this subgenre; nor is it 'isorhythmie proportionelle' (Clercx 1960); the threefold mensural transformation is neither isorhythmic nor proportional. The drone-creating Ct is inessential and problematic. See Cox 1977 I, 265-71; Allsen 1992 #80; Turner 2002, 176; Cumming 1987, 230–41. Early stage III, no red except for foliation.

General Note

For Albane Michiel, bishop of Padua, 1406-9, possibly his first entry. The two halves of this motet are isorhythmic in all parts. Ct, although integrated into the rhythmic and melodic repetition scheme (see Brown 1964, 104), is inessential and problematic. Non-imitative opening duet (equal-cantus) before T entry. See Cox 1977 I, 271-4; Allsen 1992 #79. For details of the ascription, see PMFC 24, 206. Ciconia's name is given within the text, and supplied in the top margin by Gaspari, the copyist having left it anonymous. Cumming 1999: ‘Italian’. Uses illuminated pasted capital #91, depicting the martyrdom of St Christopher, which has nothing to do with the subject of Ciconia's motet on which it was re-used. Early stage III, no red except for foliation; the only such to have a pasted capital, and in this case the only pasted illumination.

General Note

Lütteken 1993, 364 questions the older view that it was addressed to a papal secretary, and judges an imperial destination equally likely. Nosow 1992, 117 suggests the Holy Spirit; however, the paraphrase of John 1.1 refers to Christ, the verbum, symbolized by the sun, who cannot be a ‘summus secretarius’. See Cox 1977 I, 276-80, who reports Mixter’s 1961 suggestion that it could instead be addressed to St John the Evangelist, who is ‘irroratus gnarius / misticis fluentis’. Cumming 1999: ‘other double-discantus’. No T repetitions. Early stage III copy, no red except for foliation.

General Note

See AH 20, 10. Like Psallat chorus (f.279v), the texts are taken from a 13th-century composition, two stanzas of a conductus (F, f. 227r-v; not known to Cox 1977 I, 281-3); II has stanza 1 (first 5 words: Ovid, Fasti 1. 217), which is also in Fauvel (Dahnk 1935, 34, Paris f. fr. 146 f. 5); I has stanza 2, with an additional last line. II imagines a contemporary reception of Homer and Croesus; Homer's literary prowess would now mean nothing, while Croesus' wealth would bring him friendship, praise and honour (Reaney, CMM 11/7, p. xviii). Equal cantus parts set the two texts with nearly simultaneous syllabification over a free accompanying tenor. Cumming 1999: ‘retrospective double-discantus’. Early stage-III copy, no red except for foliation.

Two alternative settings of the even verses 2, 4, 6 are provided, one with Ct and one with fauxbourdon. Odd-numbered verses (1, 3, 5, 7) in unrhythmicised chant (which, unlike the settings of 2, 4, 6, has a flat signature); Ward 1980, 399. T 'au faulx bourdon si placet'; Ct 'sine faulx bourdon'. Ct is copied between and not below I and T, as in Sanctorum meritis f. 325v. This hymn stands apart from the rest of the hymn cycle (ff.314v-327), but on the same bifolio as Lymburgia's Christe redemptor f.315v, possibly pointing to a Lymburgia core to the cycle, confirmed by shared characteristics with the cycle despite its separation (Anderson 2006, 350). Late stage III (fine pen). Martini annotates the first stave, left-hand margin: 'canto fermo'.

General Note

Text is a variant of a widely known antiphon for St. Chrysogonus that went back to the Old Roman repertory, (Vatican, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Archivio di San Pietro B 79, f. 172v) but was used in the Gregorian repertory as a vespers antiphon for St. Denis (CAO 3999) as well for a number of other martyrs. Du Fay’s motet does not make any reference to the plainsong, but the nature of the text supports the hypothesis made by Hamm/Scott 1972, 102, 114-5 that the motet was intended to be interpolated into the Vespers of St. Sebastian. (All this from PlanchartO?) One of very few pieces in Q15 (cf. Supremum est f.206v) with an initial /x signature, in I only (and not in ModB); all parts organised in x throughout, with S equivalence, no other signatures, nor in ModB. Besseler transcribes without further reduction. See Cox 1977 I, 286-9, and Berger 1989. Cumming 1999: ‘cut-circle’. Early stage-III script, no red.

General Note

Ward 1980, 184. MMMA 1, no. 23.2. Verses 2, 4, 6 ('Te ...'), set (fauxbourdon), chant for verses 1, 3, 5 ('Occasum ..', set in Q15 only), 7 ('Laus ...' - this is v. 5 in CS15 and ModB). T 'au faulx bourdon'. Anderson 2006, 330-3 suggests that this hymn, the only one that does not begin at the top of a page, was an afterthought, or not yet available at the inital copying of hymns in Q15; indeed, the slightly finer script might confirm this. ModB gives chant for vv. 1, 3, 6, and sets 2, 4, 7 (5). The hybrid setting in CS15 occupies ff. 2v-5; Du Fay's I and T are given on 4v for the final verse ('Laus', v .7, which is chant in Q15), with indications on f. 5 that the final verse is to have Ct in fauxbourdon. Early stage-III script, no red. Gaspari's catalogue lists this as '311 bis', though he did not add that within the manuscript.

General Note

Ward 1980, 163-5. MMMA 1, no. 71. 7 stanzas all set in polyphony; stanza 7 (Gloria tibi) is not underlaid but marked 'ut supra'. Otherwise, each pair of stanzas is newly composed, in each of the three mensurations, making this the most elaborate hymn in the cycle. Unrelated to Du Fay's setting; unusual in setting the Amen. Some inconsistency of notated rests between lines of the hymn led Etheridge to mistranscribe semiminims as sesquitertia. If Conditor alme (f.314v) was indeed a later addition, this becomes the first hymn of the Q15 cycle, rather than an addition to it, as has been suggested. It precedes Du Fay’s fauxbourdon setting of the same text (f.316v), and sets the chant (AR 255) 'slowly and squarely in the tenor and up a fourth (in F, but with no flat in the tenor signature)'; Anderson 2006, 338.

General Note

Ward 1980, 162. MMMA 1, no. 71. Verses 2, 4, 6 set (fauxbourdon), chant for verses 1, 3, 5, 7 (likewise ModB). Musically identical with Christe redemptor f. 322v which likewise has no contratenor. T 'au faulx bourdon'. Du Fay’s fauxbourdon setting was evidently here appended, as a scribal pairing, to Lymburgia’s more elaborate setting at f.315v, which was probably in place earlier and is musically unrelated (Anderson 2006, 338). The hybrid setting in CS15 occupies ff. 5v-8; Sherr 1996 also claims v. 6 as Du Fay's, although it is neither so attributed nor corresponding. Early stage-III script, no red.

Even-numbered verses are to be supplied in chant (not provided). This implies a double alternatim: two distinct polyphonic realisations in alternation with implicit chant. Du Fay's setting of this hymn is not in Q15, but elsewhere (two dovetailed settings in ModB, one with Ct, one fauxbourdon); this and others perhaps deliberately omitted by Q15 scribe (Anderson 2006, 345-6).

General Note

Ward 1980, 451. MMMA 1, no. 56. Text by Aquinas. Verses 2, 6 set (v. 4 in ModB but not Q15), chant for verses 1, 3, 5. The T is followed by 'nobis', the first word of v. 2. This and Jesu corona (f.327v) are the only Du Fay hymns unascribed in Q15. 'Verte folium' is written on the stave after I and ‘verte residuum’ after the Ct, perhaps to direct to chant verses not there repeated or an indication to continue singing the polyphony for v. 4. Although it appears to be distinct compositionally and in transmission, #302 may interact with #302a not only because of the 'verte folium/verte residuum’ indications and missing verses, but also the transferral of the chant in #302a to an inner voice, which changes the final of the hymn, but, at the same time, keeps the chant at pitch to reconnect with the chant of #302. It was possible to perform them together as another 'double' conception of alternatim by different composers and one compiler (Anderson 2006, 341-4). The hybrid setting in CS15 occupies ff. 34v-37 but vv. 4 and 6 are different harmonisations, v. 4 with melody in the T. See note to #302a. Early stage-III script, no red. 'N316 bis' supplied by Gaspari, corresponding to his catalogue.

Ward 1980, 567. MMMA 1, no. 140. Verses 2, 4 set, chant for verses 1, 3, and 6 (ModB vv. 1, 3, 5). This is one of only four hymns of the 19 attributed to Du Fay that sets at least one even verse in monophony (Anderson 2006, 334 n. 12). PlanchartO: the version of Q15, and the way verse 6 is entered in ModB, open the possibility that Du Fay originally set a version of the hymn without the verse 5 found in most chant books, and thus his ‘verse 6’ in Q15 would be verse 5 of the version he first set, following his usual practice. The hybrid setting in CS15 occupies ff. 68v-70. Early stage-III script, no red. 'N317 bis' supplied by Gaspari, corresponding to his catalogue.

General Note

Two performance options: with fauxbourdon, or with alternative contratenor. ModB and CS15 offer only the latter option; MuEm (St Emmeram) and BU 2216 offer the faulxbourdon version. Tr90 provides another alternative Ct & T (not by Du Fay?) to go with Du Fay's Cantus.

General Note

Ward 1980, 83. MMMA 1, no. 67. Verses 1, 3, 5, 7 set, chant for verses 2, 4, 6. Besseler's edition uses Q15, but follows ModB's opposite arrangement of the verses, making it consistent with Du Fay's other hymns. The T 'au faulx bourdon' is followed immediately by the chant for the even-numbered verses, which is in turn followed by a Ct 'sine faulx bourdon', written later, also transmitted in ModB, evidently a later-added alternative to the fauxbourdon setting, but not notably independent of it. The contratenor was presumably added after the hymn was 'fixed' in the fauxbourdon version (Anderson 2006, 336), a stage-III addition (in later script, fine nib) to a work already in stage-III. PlanchartO distinguishes four versions of the hymn: 1) this fauxbourdon version, reflected also in BU and MuEm; 2) this version with contratenor; 3) the version with contratenor in ModB, largely identical to this, but reversing which verses are set to polyphony and which in chant; this version is reflected in CS 15; 4) the version of Tr 92, with new T and Ct, most likely a variant of version 2. This hymn, Pange lingua at f.320r and Jesu corona at f.327r are not ascribed to Du Fay in Q15. The hybrid setting in CS15 occupies ff. 41v-46. Early stage-III script, no red.

MMMA 1, no. 71. Verses 2, 4, 6 set (fauxbourdon), chant for verses 1, 3, 5, 7. Musically the same as Christe redemptor at f.316v, conflated with this as Ward 1980, 162, likewise no Ct. T 'au faulx bourdon'. This and the adjacent setting (f.322v) of Christe redemptor … Conserva, both by Du Fay, both have the plainchant entered, apparently to avoid a page turn (not the case for Pange lingua f.320). The same chant melody forms the basis of the Christmas hymn Christe redemptor … Ex patre (f.316v). The cantus and T are also identical in Du Fay’s fauxbourdon settings of these two hymns, though the music was recopied to accommodate the different texts (Anderson 2006, 338). Early stage-III script, no red. 'N318 bis' supplied by Gaspari, corresponding to his catalogue.

Chant in cantus II, at the same pitch as the upper voice of the fauxbourdon setting of the same text at f.322, recopied to avoid page turn (Anderson 2006, 338-9). Newly composed cantus I, higher in range than 'II', is positioned below (and possibly copied later than) a new T, different from f.322, but placed first in CS15 and ModB. Tr921 has I, T, II; Tr922 has chant, I, T, II. This elaborated setting is much more widely disseminated than the fauxbourdon at f.322. The hybrid setting in CS15 occupies ff. 50v-53.Uses the same chant as Christe redemptor ... Ex Patre (f.316v); the cantus and T of these fauxbourdon settings are also identical, but recopied to accommodate the different texts. See pieces at ff.315v, 316v. Early stage-III script, no red.

PlanchartO: stylistically this piece appears to be one of Du Fay’s earliest fauxbourdon settings, simple and unpretentious, but apparently lost in transmission, being absent from the later recensions of Du Fay’s hymn cycle. In ModB, the absence of a hymn for the angels was apparently noticed only later, when two settings of Tibi Christe splendor were clumsily added (ff. 11v-13 = 14v–16), not by Du Fay; CS 15 also has two later, unique settings.

Ward 1980, 66. AH 51, 216-7. MMMA 1, no. 152. Verses 1, 3, 5 set 'Aurea', 'jam bone', 'sit trinitati'), chant for verse 2 ('Janitor'); ModB sets vv. 1, 5, chant for v. 2. This is one of only four hymns of the 19 attributed to Du Fay that sets at least one even verse in monophony (Anderson 2006, 334 n. 12). PlanchartO: all the hymns that have an ‘even verse’ in the polyphony in Q 15 appear to have missing verses, so that the even verse in the polyphony was really an odd verse in Du Fay’s setting; verse 5 of the ‘official’ text is in no source, and what seems to be missing in Q15 is really a second chant verse (found in CS 15). The hybrid setting in CS15 occupies ff. 39v-42. First Ct stave extends into the margin. Early stage-III script, no red. 'N320 bis' supplied by Gaspari, corresponding to his catalogue.

General Note

Ward 1980, 231a, 231b. MMMA 1, no. 114. Verses 2, 4, 6 set, chant for verses 1, 3, 5 (likewise ModB). Although presented as a single setting, this embodies two alternative versions: (1) cantus and T 'au faulx bourdon', (2) an alternative tenor fitting the same cantus, followed by a Ct. ModB has the same two versions, with the fauxbourdon setting placed second (Anderson 2006, 339-40). For a 'Contratenor secundus duffay' to a different setting of this hymn, see CMM I/5, appendix I #52. The hybrid setting in CS15 occupies ff. 53v-56. Early stage-III script, no red.

General Note

Ward 1980, 692. Verses 2, 4 set (fauxbourdon), chant for verses 1, 3, 5. T 'au faulx bordon'. Ward 1972, 177 notes that the text is found in Verona, but that the melody (Stäblein 146) does not occur in Italian sources. Perhaps composed as a partner to Du Fay's Jesu corona (f. 327) for the same feast, sharing range and cleffing; use of chant is unusual or anomalous for Lymburgia. This piece serves as a linchpin for a small sequence or 'complex' in the hymn cycle; it shares the melody of Iste confessor (f.326), but is also connected (in a redundant way) with Jesu corona (f.327) as both are for the common of virgins (Anderson 2006, 340-41). Early stage-III script, no red.

Planchart 2008b removes the modern attributions to Du Fay of the other sequences in Q15 (Veni sancte f.329, Mittit ad virginem f.339v), leaving this as the only one, which he posits as the first of a cycle started in his Rome years.

General Note

This Q15 setting not only follows a sequence with an uncontested attribution to Du Fay, but conforms to nearly all his other settings in starting the alternation with chant and placing it in I; the chant paraphrase closely matches that in voice II of Du Fay's attributed setting inTr92 #1453 (ff. 100v-101), CMM 1/5 #6, to which this is in opposite phase by setting the stanzas not set there, i.e., the second of each pair, a procedure out of line with his normal practice. De Van 1948a treated this anonymous composition as an ascribed work, followed by Hamm 1964, 77. See Fallows 1982, 230, Planchart 1998, 106-9, who leave the attribution open, partly because the verses set seemed to complement Du Fay’s attributed setting of this prose. But now Planchart 2008b shows that the scoring of the two versions is incompatible and argues against Du Fay’s authorship. Stage-III script, no red.

General Note

Attributed by Hamm 1964, 78, partly on the grounds that both Q15's other sequences, Letabundus and Veni sancte (f.327v, 329) are both by Du Fay; but the latter has no early attribution, and Gaude virgo (f. 230v) is a cantilena motet setting of a sequence text. Planchart 2008b argues against this attribution and provides extensive discussion, also of the revisions of the Tr92 version. Text attribution to Abelard is disputed in AH 54, 298. Voice parts are grouped by verse. Alternatim setting: polyphony for the second of each pair of verses. Tr92 rewrites the chant in mensural notation. Late stage-III script (fine pen), no red.

The spelling of fol. 44v in the inventory must be "Chanter ne scay ce poise moy" ("Chanter ne scay ce poyse moy" is the spelling in GB-Ob, Canon misc. 213, fol. 32v).
