Cantuum Quinque Vocum Quos Motetta Vocant... liber Primus

Edited by Christine Suzanne Getz. From the Recent Researches in the Music of the Renaissance Series. These twenty motets include occasional works, pieces specific to both the Ambrosian and Roman festal calendars, ambitious multipartite settings of vespers hymns, and an Elevation motet. Together they demonstrate the adaptation of features characteristic of the Josquin generation, including cantus firmus, ostinato, coloration, and mensuration canon, to later sixteenth-century practice. 186 p.
