THE MANUSCRIPT AND ITS HISTORY
Physical Features
The London British Museum Manuscript Additional 35087, hereafter referred to as London Add. 35087, is an important parchment manuscript in large octavo choirbook arrangement from the beginning of the sixteenth century. Its measure- ments are 19.4 x 29.3 centimeters. The manuscript contains ninety-five folios and one stub where a leaf has been torn out (f. 4).1 The last composition in the manuscript is in- complete, which indicates that one leaf is lacking at the end (f. 96).
Two sets of foliation are shown: the original Roman and a more recent Arabic. Both are placed in the upper right hand corner of folio recto. The sets agree in folios
4-93. Folios 1 and 2 show no Roman figures now; folio 3 has "ii," and therefore the missing leaf probably had
"iii." The Arabic numbering does not account for this missing leaf. This folio might have been assigned "4," but this number is given on the next complete leaf to coincide

1 2 with the Roman "iiii." At the end, by mistake, folio 94 has
"xciii" and folio 95 has "xciiii."
Folio 1 gives the initial fifteen notes of the tenor of
O vos omnes, which is the first composition in the manuscript and which is given in its entirety on f. 1'-2. The inscrip- tion "Hieronymus Laurinus est meus herus" (Hieronymus Laurinus is my master) is also set on folio 1. This inscription in- dicates that Hieronymus Laurinus, the Latinized version of
Jerome Lauweryn, was the original owner of the manuscript.
Another inscription is found in the top margin of folio
75 verso. It reads, "There ys litle such p arjchement now to be had any where for money," apparently in a sixteenth cen- tury hand.2 This would indicate that the manuscript passed from the original owner into English hands sometime during the sixteenth century.3 One other inscription (the signifi- cance of which is not clear) is located in the side margin of folio 37 verso and reads, "Com all Tru Harted Lovers and
Har."
No illuminations occur in the manuscript. Elaborate initials are found throughout the first third of the work
(f. 1'-26, 27'-28) and in various other places on the re- maining leaves (f. 59'-60, 61'-62, 64'-65, 89'-94).

London Add. 35087 contains seventy-eight compositions.
These include the fifty-three pieces of this study--thirty- six French chansons, one motet-chanson, fourteen Latin mo- tets, and two works with Italian texts--and the twenty-five
Flemish chansons edited and published by Johannes Wolf. 5
Fifty of the compositions are for three voices, superius, tenor, and contra; the other three are for four parts.
The arrangement of compositions within the manuscript, including Flemish pieces, follows. The numbers following the type of work refer only to the pieces included in this study:
f. 1'- 4; Latin motets; nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 f. 4'- 5; French chanson; no. 5 f. 51'- 7; Flemish chansons; two pieces f. 7'-10; French chansons; nos. 6 and 7 f. 101-11; Latin motet; no. 8 f. 11'-12; Italian chanson; no. 9 f. 12'-13; French chanson; no. 10 f. 131-16; Flemish chansons; three pieces f. 161-19; Latin motets; nos. 11 and 12 f. 19'-21; Flemish chanson; one piece f. 21'-25; French chansons; nos. 13, 14, 15, an d 16 f. 25'-27; Flemish chansons; two pieces f. 27'-28; Italian chanson; no. 17 f. 281-33; French chansons; nos. 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22 f. 33' -34; Flemish chanson; one piece f. 34'-35; Latin motet; no. 23 f. 35'-36; Flemish chanson; one piece f. 36'38; French chansons; nos. 24 and 25 f. 38'-39; Flemish chanson; one piece f. 391-40; Latin motet; no. 26 f. 40-42; Flemish chansons; two pieces f. 42'-45; French chansons; nos. 27, 28, and 29 f. 45'-49; Flemish chansons; three pieces

They were widely respected as members of the musical assemblages of the music-loving princes, kings, and other nobles of France, Italy, Spain, and the Holy Roman Empire, as well as the Burgundian Nether- lands. The following composers are named among the fifty- three works from London Add. 35087: Agricola (2 pieces),
Appenzeller (1), Compere (1), Fevin (1), Ghiselin (Verbonnet)
(1), Mouton (1), and Vyzeto (1). Many other compositions are attributed to these and other composers through concord- ance: Appenzeller (1), Brumel (1), Busnois (1), Compre
(3), FAvin (3), Hayne (1), Josquin (3), Lepetit (1), Mouton
(3), Obrecht (1), and Prioris (2). 5
London Add. 35087 is arranged in the popular choirbook
form of chansonniers of the time. The voice-parts are placed
on two facing leaves, so that the performers might read from
the book resting on a table. The upper two-thirds of folio verso contains the superius; the staves below the superius are either left blank or contain the residuum of the contra.
The upper half of folio recto is reserved for the tenor and the lower half, the contra. The parts are labeled in the following few instances. The tenor is named in three pieces, nos. 34, 50, and 51, while the contra is labeled bassus in two works, nos. 34 and 52. The residuum of the contra of no. 50 is named on folio 90 verso.
In contrast to the foregoing arrangement, the contra is set on the folio verso below the superius in two pieces, nos. 5 and 44; the residuum of no. 44 continues on the recto of the succeeding leaf (f. 84). No. 3, one of the two pieces left incomplete by the first missing folio, follows this arrangement also. The superius and contra are found on folio 3 verso; the tenor is lacking. Perhaps the missing superius and contra of no. 4 might have been placed on the verso side of the missing leaf; the tenor of no. 4 is given on folio 4 recto. Ten works show residua of their three voice-parts on the next following opening.
The writing of both words and notes is bold and clear, and there are few instances of omission of notes. Partial or fragmentary texts are found under the music of all voices. 6
Little concern is shown for matching words and syllables to appropriate notes. A partial text may be a chanson refrain, a single stanza of a free chanson, or a single line of a mo- tet. Pieces which contain only fragmentary texts are nos. 23,
36, 42, 50, and 53; no. 11 gives the textual incipits only.
All others contain partial texts that are more nearly com- plete. One additional stanza is placed below the superius of no. 31 on folio 53 verso.
Most of the manuscript (f. 1-93) is the work of the same three scribes: one for the notation, one for the text, and one for the initials. The last two pieces, nos. 52 (f. 93'-94) and 53 (f. 94'-95') are the work of two other groups of scribes. The notation and calligraphy of these pieces are far inferior to those of the foregoing works. This suggests that these pieces might have been later additions to the original manuscript.
Historical Background
Modern Research Concerning the Manuscript
Johannes Wolf's edition of the Flemish pieces of London
Add. 35087 is a noteworthy early study of the manuscript.
Wolf reveals that through the efforts of Barclay Squire the
British Museum acquired the manuscript from Herbert Thompson
6 Wolf, 25 driestemmige Oud-Nederlandsche Liederen. 7
in 1897.7 No further information concerning its early his- tory is given. Wolf claims that the twenty-five Flemish
chansons comprise a unique body of works, the majority of which do not appear in other manuscripts.8 His transcrip- tions of these compositions provide a practical edition for both scholar and performer.
Separate lists of the motets and chansons from London
Add. 35087 are published by Hughes-Hughes.9 By mistake, he labels the residuum, Adieu myn lief (f. 48t-49), to the
Flemish piece, Ghisternavent was ic maecht (f. 47'-48), as a separate composition. This accounts for his total of seventy- nine rather than seventy-eight pieces in the manuscript. A limited concordance with other British Museum manuscripts accompanies the lists.
Several pieces included, in London Add. 35087 are con- tained in the nineteenth-century edition by Robert-Julien van Maldeghem, Tre'sor musical, which appears in two series, one of secular and one of sacred music. 0 Gustave Reese has pointed out some shortcomings of this edition, such as wrong notes and attributions, alteration and substitution of texts,

cations.' 3 A complete listing of modern editions containing pieces in London Add. 35087 is found in the List of Sources

Manuscripts such as London Add. 35087 were costly luxury
items. They were not only prized for their musical and tex-
tual contents but also for the elaborate decorations and
beautiful illuminations which many contained. Their visual
beauty was as much a source of pride and personal edification
to their owners as was the aural beauty represented within
their leaves.

At the turn of the sixteenth century only members of the aristocracy, royalty, and wealthy bourgeoisie could afford to collect manuscripts for their libraries. The London, British
Museum, MS Harley 5242 belonged to Frangoise de Foix, mis- tress of Francis I. '4 The Paris, Bibliotheque Nationale, MS
Fonds fr. 1597 contains the coat of arms of Rene'de Vaudemont, duke of Lorraine, and. MS Fonds fr. 2245 from the same library was probably written in 1496 by the singer Crespinet for the count of Orleans, later Louis XII.' 5 The Brussels, Biblio- theque Royale de Belgique, MSS 228 and 11239 are familiarly called the "Chanson Albums of Marguerite of Austria.",16
London Add. 35087 was compiled for another aristocrat,
Jerome Lauweryn (Hieronymus Laurinus). Jerome Lauweryn,
Laurin, or Lauwerin, served in the governments of three re- gents of the Burgundian Netherlands: Maximilian, regent from
1482 to 1493; his son Philippe le Beau, regent from 1493 to
1506; and his daughter Marguerite of Austria, regent from
1507 to 1530. Jerome was counselor, chamberlain, and treas- urer general of the finances of Philippe le Beau (Philip the
Handsome), archduke of Austria, king of Castille, and one of

Jerome reclaimed, land in an area of northern Flanders be- tween the present towns of Boekhoute and St.-Jan-in-Eremo.
Philippe le Beau built three fiefs on this land and gave them to Je'r'ome and his heirs. These were Waterdizk, Waterland, and Watervliet. Watervliet was the most important of the fiefs, and Lauweryn enclosed the town, built a beautiful church, and established the craft of cloth-making.18 The following information from the documents of the Chambre des
Comptes of the Archives generales du Royaume in Brussels confirms Jerome Lauweryn's activities as treasurer to the re- gents:

No. 23117 This account of taxes collected on the sale of beer at Bruges (1492-93) contains a transcription of the let- ters patent from Maximilian and Philippe le Beau (Inns- bruck, September 4, 1493) discharging Jerome Lauwerin of the farm of Grute of Bruges because it had caused him nothing but losses.
From a statement found on folio 9 of account no. 7141, it is clear that Jerome Lauweryn was dead by December, 1509; this is verified by a remark on folio 7 of account no. 17425.19
Jerome's death in 1509 is substantiated in other sources.
Records of the Archives departementales du Nord in Lille dis- close that following Jerome's death in 1509 his heirs re- ceived payment before July 10, 1510, on loans made by Lauweryn to Maximilian and Philippe le Beau.20 Gaillard, in his ac- count of the Laurin family, gives July 21, 1509, as the date of Jerome's death and the Church of St. Bavo in Ghent as his
19 Letter from L'Archiviste general du Royaume, Archives generales du Royaume, Brussels, August 24, 1966; he also points out that Roersch ("Guido Laurin") lists Lauweryn's death date as August 1, 1519, and burial place as the church in Watervliet, both of which are erroneous. 20 Letter from Rene Robinet, Conservateur en Chef, Archives departementales du Nord, Lille, April 11, 1967. 12 burial site.2 1 Vocht also states that Jerome died. in 1509 and, that both he and his wife, Jacqueline Pedart (died 1502), are buried in St. Bavo's Church in Ghent.2 2
Jerome was no doubt a man of learning and, a connoisseur of art forms. He was probably acquainted with some of the famous musicians, painters, and men of letters at the courts of Maximilian, Philippe le Beau, and Marguerite of Austria.
The excellence of the court chapel and the active musical life at the court of Philippe le Beau may have stimulated
Lauweryn's appreciation of music and may have led directly to the compilation of London Add. 35087. Although it is impossible to determine definitely, the contents of the manu- script indicate that it was written in 1505 or 1506, prior to the death of Philippe le Beau in Spain.
Jerome Lauweryn was the ancestor of a family of Renais- sance humanists. His sons Matthias (died 1540), Marc (1488-
1546), Peter (1489-1521/22), Charles (1506-1552), and James
(died in 1512) were all acquaintances of Erasmus of Rotter- dam.2 3 The eldest son, Matthias, inherited his father's estate and became lord of Watervliet and treasurer general of

2 3 Ibid., II, 67-68. 13 the finances.24 He also became a member of the Council for
Flanders in 1538.25 He shared with his brother, Marc, a love for the principles and ideas of classicism. Erasmus wrote Matthias concerning these subjects in a letter ad- dressed from Basel in 1523. Matthias and his wife, Franioise
Ruffault, were the parents of two great antiquarians, March and Guido (or Guy). Matthias died on September 9, 1540, and was buried in Watervliet.2 6
Jerame's second son, Marc, was born on May 17/18, 1488.
He was appointed canon of St. Donatian's Church in Bruges in
1512 and dean of the chapter on September 24, 1519. He dis- tinguished himself by his taste for letters and was the cen- ter of an eager group of young humanists. Marc was a close friend of Erasmus and often welcomed him to his home. He also maintained a steady correspondence with the great hu- manist; one letter written by Erasmus to Marc, dated Febru- ary 1, 1523, in Basel, contains much valuable information on the life of the learned man. Marc died on November 4, 1540, and was buried in the church where he had officiated for nearly thirty years.2 7 The Sylvula Carminum, an edition of

Bruges in 1544, contains epitaphs on Marc Laurin written by
Georges Cassander and other poets.28
Jerome Lauweryn's grandsons, Marc and Guido, continued in this scholarly tradition. Marc was born at Bruges in 1530 and died at Calais in 1581. He succeeded his father, Matthias, as lord of Watervliet on September 5, 1541. From early child- hood he engaged in the study of ancient history. His wealth enabled him to assemble an imposing collection of literary and archeological treasures, which were greatly admired by the erudite men of his time. Renowned as a numismatist, he was led by his study of antique medallions and coins to write a biography of Julius Caesar and to illustrate it with draw- ings of Caesar's coins. Hubert Goltz, an accomplished painter and draftsman from Wtrzburg, prepared representations of the coins, and Marc's brother, Guido, provided descrip- tions of them. The work was published around 1563.29
Guido Laurin was born at Bruges in 1532 and died at Lille in 1589. After earning a law degree at Dle on March 24,
1555, he set up practice at Bruges in 1557. Guido was keenly interested in Roman jurisprudence and his brother's numis- matic endeavors and greatly influenced all those who devoted themselves to the same studies. The lawyer Raevard dedicated

1564. Guido's letters to Hadrianus Junius (H. Junii epistolae,
Dordrecht, 1652, p. 617) and to Stephen Pighius (Pigii epistolae, Bibliotheque Royale de Belgique, MS 7700) refer to his scholarly activities. Guido wrote a large amount of
Latin poetry, all of which is lost except for a fragment of twenty-eight verses. He left Bruges with his brother in 1580 to reside in Lille, St.-Omer, and finally Calais. Following his brother's death he became lord of Watervliet and returned to Bruges in 1584.30
Jerome Lauweryn and his heirs served within a varying political framework as a result of the following course of events. The death of Charles the Bold at the battle of Nancy in January, 1477, brought an era of Burgundian power and splendor to a close. Fear of French aggression forced Marie of Burgundy, Charles' daughter and heir, to marry Maximilian, the Hapsburg archduke of Austria, in August, 1477. The births of their children, Philippe le Beau in 1478 and
Marguerite of Austria in 1480, reawakened loyalty to the dynasty and contributed to the successful rebuilding of the
Burgundian Netherlands.
30 Ibid., columns 457-461. 16
Marie's death in 1482, as a result of a riding accident, weakened Maximilian's authority. But his signing of the
Treaty of Arras with his father-in-law's old antagonist,
Louis XI of France, strengthened his hold on the regency.
Under the provisions of the treaty Marguerite was betrothed to Charles, dauphin of France, and her dowry consisted of
Artois and Franche-Comte. The treaty also allowed the estates to install Philippe le Beau as the count of Flanders, the fig- urehead for their alternative government.3 ' Marguerite lived at the French court from 1483 to 1491 under the guardianship of Anne of Beaujeu, daughter of Louis XI and regent for her brother Charles.3 2
After the death of Louis XI in 1483, Maximilian compelled the estates to restore his son to him. Philippe le Beau was then entrusted to the care of his step-grandmother, Margaret of York, widow of Charles the Bold, who lived at Mechlin.3 3
In 1485 Maximilian traveled to Germany to be crowned king of the Romans, and upon his return he involved his estates in another war with France. His attempts to recover the entire inheritance of the former dukes of Burgundy failed, and in

1488 he was imprisoned by the irate citizens of Bruges. When his father, Frederick III, emperor of Austria, approached the city with an imperial army, Maximilian gained his release and returned to Germany. In 1489 he made peace with France at
Frankfurt, and the Burgundian estates again recognized him as regent.
In December, 1491, Charles VIII of France married Anne of Brittany, who had already married Maximilian by proxy the year before. Charles' action annulled Maximilian's marriage as well as his own betrothal to Marguerite of Austria. War ensued when Charles failed to release Marguerite and her dowry. Maximilian allied with Henry VII of England and the
Catholic kings of Spain, and in 1493, induced Charles through the Treaty of Senlis to restore Marguerite to him, along with
Artois and Franche-Comte. Charles retained the county of
Burgundy.
The Treaty of Senlis marked the end of Maximilian's re- gency. In the treaty year Frederick III died, and Maximilian succeeded as Holy Roman Emperor and ruler of Hapsburg lands.
The Treaty of Venice of 1495 represented Maximilian's most significant political achievement. The betrothals of Philippe le Beau and Marguerite to Juan and Juana, children of Ferdi- nand and Isabella of Spain, assured the future power of the house of Hapsburg. The son of Philippe and Juana, Charles V,
34 "Maximilian I," Encyclopedia Britannica, Vol. XV (Chicago, 1963). 18 became the ruler of the Empire, Spain, and the Burgundian
Netherlands.3 5
In 1493 Philippe le Beau attained his majority and the regency of the Burgundian Netherlands. Unlike his father and grandfather (Charles the Bold), Philippe's tact and mod- eration proved popular with his subjects and rival heads of state. His regime achieved more unity among the estates than at any time since the death of his mother.36
In 1496 Philippe married Juana in Flanders, and in 1497 the Spanish celebrated the marriage of Juan and Marguerite in
Burgos.3 7 Juan died in that same year, and Marguerite re- turned to her brother and father. In 1500 Philippe and
Juana fell heir to the Spanish crowns when Don Miguel, the nephew of Ferdinand and Isabella, died. The birth of
Charles V, the first child of Philippe and Juana, also took place in 1500.38
Philippe visited Spain twice, in 1501 and 1506. The citizenry cheerfully acclaimed him as he traveled across
France in 1501, and on the return trip he visited his sister

Marguerite in Savoy.3 9 In 1504 Isabella of Spain died, and
Philippe and Juana prepared for a second journey. They set
sail in January, 1506, but bad weather forced them to disem- bark in England, where they remained as guests of Henry VII
for three months. In April, 1506, they arrived in Spain and were crowned king and queen of Castille, Leon, and
Granada. Philippe's illustrious career ended when he died
September 25th of that year. The shock of her husband's death rendered Juana insane and incapable of ruling, and the
Burgundian court plunged into chaos.4 1
In 1507 the estates recalled Maximilian, who assigned the regency to his daughter Marguerite, along with the guard-
ianship of Charles V and his three sisters. In 1501 Mar- guerite married a second time, to Philibert II le Beau, duke of Savoy, but this marriage was short-lived. Philibert died in 1504, and Marguerite once again returned to the Burgundian
Netherlands. Martin Picker gives a full account of Mar- guerite's regency (1507-1530).42

Music at the Court of Philippe le Beau
Music played a leading role among the arts at the Bur- gundian Netherlands court during the fifteenth and early
sixteenth centuries. Sacred and secular music served impor- tant functions in the daily activities of the court. Members of the court chapel, called chaplains, provided sacred music for Mass, Office Hours, and other religious solemnities.
Many chaplains were priests as well as singer-composers, or- ganists, and music teachers; and their high social rank is an indication of the esteem in which they were held. This combination of religious and musical employment attracted many of the foremost musicians of the time to the court. The chaplains also composed secular chansons, which they them- selves performed for courtly entertainment.
The musical assemblage further included instrumentalists who furnished music for dancing, the hunt, entertainments, and processions. Occasionally, they were called upon to join with the chapel in performing music for sacred services.
Contemporary accounts tell us of the admiration reserved for music. Tinctoris, the eminent theorist and music di- rector to Ferdinand of Aragon, reveals the original purpose of the Burgundian and other court chapels of the time:
The most Christian princes . . . have set up chap- els for the glorification of the service of God, after the example of David; in these they kept various singers at great expense in order to praise God pleasantly and fittingly with harmonious voices. And because the 21
princely singers win honour, renown, and wealth, many have taken such wonderful progress in these days that a new art appears to have risen. 3
Jean Molinet, chronicler of the dukes and regents of
Burgundy and a great lover of music, praises the art in the following terms:
For music is the resonance of the heavens, the voice of the angels, the joy of paradise, the hope of the air, the organ of the Church, the song of the little birds, the recreation of all gloomy and despairing hearts, the persecution and driving away of the devils.
During Philip the Good's famous Feast of the Golden
Pheasant in 1454, music greatly enhanced the festivities:
"When the noise had somewhat abated, the peal of church bells was heard announcing the first interlude. Then the choir boys sang and a tenor chanted a lovely Benedicte; after this a shepherd played a new air on the bagpipes."45
In 1431 at Dijon, the third duke of Burgundy, Philip the Good, created the court chapel for the singing of Mass daily.46 Hayne van Ghizeghem, the great chanson composer, entered the duke's service around 1457 and continued under
Charles the Bold as singer and "valet de chambre" (1467)

46 Picker, The Chanson Albums of Marguerite of Austria, p. 22. 22 until 1472. 4 After Philip's death in 1467, his son, Charles the Bold, endeavored to maintain the artistic quality of the chapel. In 1474 Charles' chapel contained forty members who performed at Office Hours and at Mass.48 Charles became the first of the aristocratic amateurs to take an active part in the musical life at court. Others included his daughter,
Marie of Burgundy, and grandchildren, Philippe le Beau and
Marguerite of Austria. Antoine Busnois, the most illustrious second generation composer of Burgundy, taught counterpoint to both Charles and Marie and served in their chapels from
1467 to 1482.49
The chaotic conditions at court that followed the death of Charles the Bold in 1477 precluded the further development of the chapel, and many members sought employment elsewhere.
Individual musicians like Busnois, however, continued their duties in the chapel under Marie of Burgundy and her husband,
Maximilian. Following Marie's death in 1482, Maximilian at- tempted to restore the court chapel to its former degree of brilliance. He took great pride and pleasure in his chapel and afforded its members endless opportunities to perform.

In May, 1481, the chapel performed the Office Hours during the reunion of the Order of the Golden Fleece in Bois-le-duc.
On October 12, 1488, Maximilian honored the chapel with a banquet in appreciation of their services and awarded each member six pounds.50
The chapel accompanied Maximilian on his many trips to
Ghent, Brussels, and Mechlin. In 1496 the chapel traveled to Germany to take part in the coronation ceremonies when
Maximilian became king of the Romans. At this time his chapel included Busnois; Nicolas Mayoul, "chappellain de la premiere basse messe"; Pierre Beurse, the organist who in- structed Marie in clavichord playing; and Jean Cordier.
After 1488 Maximilian's children, Philippe le Beau and
Marguerite of Austria, received excellent music instruction at the palace of Margaret of York in Mechlin. The chapel exerted a powerful influence in molding Philippe's musical tastes. In 1492 Philippe purchased an organ and received instruction from the organist, Govard Nepotis, who took the place of Pierre Beurse in that same year.5 1
With the succession of Philippe to the regency in 1493, the court chapel returned to its former artistic level. The first list of Philippe's chapel musicians is dated October 2,
50Doorslaer, "La Chapelle musicale de Philippe le Beau," p. 34. 5 1 Edmond Vander Straeten, La Musigue aux Pays-Bas avant le XIXe siecle (Brussels, 1867-1888), III, 213. 24
1495. According to the account, the twenty-five members of
the chapel, which included Mayoul, "premier chapelain,"
Nepotis, and Pierchon (Pierre) de la Rue among eight
"chantres," had not been paid from November 17, 1492, when
Maximilian retained them in his service, until September 30,
1495, at which time they were transferred to Philippe's
chapel.52
During the time in which Philippe and his court resided
in Mechlin, the chapel frequently entertained at banquets in
addition to the daily singing at Mass and Office Hours. Per-
formances by the chapel also enhanced the inaugural cere-
monies when Philippe became regent on March 27, 1494, and the
marriage ceremony of Philippe and Juana on October 25, 1496.
The religious services of Philippe's court were celebrated
in the parish church of Sts. Peter and Paul, or, for more
grandiose occasions, the collegiate church of St. Rombaut.53
With the establishment of Philippe and Juana's court in
Brussels, the chapel was reorganized into two organizations: a randeg chapelle," which contained the chief musicians and which in 1496 included fourteen chaplains, two clerics, two "sommeliers" (caretakers), two "fourriers" (quartermasters), and three other servants; and the "petite chapelle," which contained two chaplains, six clerics, and two "sommeliers."
5 2 Doorslaer, "La Chapelle musicale de Philippe le Beau," p. 34. 5 3 1bid., p. 43. 25
The "grande chapelle, " which again contained Mayoul, "premier chapelain," Pierre de la Rue, and now Jaspar Dodemere (Gaspar van Weerbecke), celebrated High Mass and Office Hours for the bulk of the court, while the "petite chapelle" performed at
Low Mass in Philippe's oratory, next to his private apart- ments. Alexander Agricola, "chapellain" and "chantre," ap- peared on the list of 1500, along with Henry Bredemerch
(Bredemers), who replaced the deceased Govard Nepotis as court organist.54
Philippe's musical assemblage further consisted of several instrumentalists. A list of 1501 named ten trumpet- ers including the famous Augustin de Scarparye; eight of these ten are again mentioned in a list of twelve trumpeters, dated 1506. Sackbut (trombone) players, lutenists, violists, and tambourin players, whose lively music heightened the gaiety of court life, completed the list of household musi- cians. 5 5
The two trips to Spain, in 1501 and 1506, were probably the most significant events of Philippe's reign, and on both journeys, his chapel constituted an indispensable part of his entourage. On the first trip, undertaken when Philippe and
Juana became heirs to the Spanish crown, he took most the chapel with him to provide music during the long journey

across France. At Blois, Louis XII met Philippe and his
court and honored them with five days of feasts. On Decem-
ber 13, 1501, a Mass was celebrated in which "the singers of
the King [Louis XIIJ sang one part, while those of the mon-
seigneur [Philippe1 the other. After the Mass, they all sang
the Te Deum together."56
After their arrival in Spain, the chapel, along with
Augustin, took part in a Mass on May 15, 1502, in Toledo:
"The singers of the King (Ferdinand) sang one part of the
Mass, the singers of monseigneur, the other part; master
Augustin played the cornet with the singers of monseigneur,
which was good to hear with the singers." 5 7 On the return
trip Philippe's chapel performed in Avignon and Lyon. Master
Augustin is further singled out for praise when the chapels
of Philippe and Philibert II, husband of Marguerite of Aus-
tria, joined in singing Mass at Easter of 1503 in Savoy:
"IPhilippe's) singers and those of the duke tof Savoy) sang very well, one after the other, and master Augustin played
his cornet with the singers, which was good to hear." 5 8
Philippe then traveled to Innsbruck, where his chapel and
that of Maximilian sang together with the accompaniment of
56 Molinet, Chroniques, II, 504.

an organ and other instruments. On September 26, 1503, Mass
was performed and "the sackbuts of the King [Maximilian3 began
the Gradual and played the Deo gratias and the Ite missa est,
and the singers of monseigneur sang the Offertory." 5 9
In 1504 Isabella of Spain died, and Philippe and Juana
became king and queen of Castille, Leon, and Granada. For
their second journey to Spain in 1506, five hundred members
of the court sailed with them in early January. Bad weather
forced their ships, one of which carried the members of the
chapel, to the English coast. For three months Henry VII en-
tertained the shipwrecked party at Windsor, where instrumen-
talists of both princes performed at a festive banquet.6o
Philippe set sail again for Spain and died shortly after
his arrival on September 15, 1506. The last list of his
"grandechapelle," dated July 22, 1506, at Valladolid, men-
tioned Agricola, Pierre de la Rue, Marbriano de Orto, and
Antoine Divitis among its thirty-three members.61 Since
Agricola's name did not appear on the list of the chapel
drawn up at the order of Juana in October, he may also have died at about the same time as Philippe. Since the strain
of her husband's death rendered Juana incapable of governing

the affairs of the court, most of the chapel dispersed.
Those who returned home performed at a Requiem Mass in honor
of their dead sovereign: "The singers of the late King began the Introit of the Requiem, singing in piteous lamenta-
tion . . .62
Under Marguerite of Austria, who became regent in 1507, music continued to play a leading role among the arts at the
Burgundian Netherlands court. An interesting and comprehen-
sive study of the musical life of Marguerite's court has been prepared by Martin Picker.6 3

NOTATION
London Add. 35087 is written in the white mensural nota- tion of the late fifteenth century. In transcribing the
French, Italian, and Latin compositions of the manuscript in- to modern notation, a reduction of 2:1 is used; thus, a half note of the transcription is equal to a semibreve of the original. All ligatures of the old notation are shown by a
in the transcription.
Clefs
In the manuscript the C clef placed on the first, second, or third staff lines and the G clef on the second line are em- ployed in the superius parts; the C clef on the first, third, or fourth lines, the G clef on the second line, and the F clef on the third line are used in the tenor parts; the C clef on all five lines and the F clef on the third or fourth lines are employed in the contra parts.
Eighteen different combinations of clefs are found among the fifty-three compositions. The most favored is the combi- nation of the C clef on the first line (superius), C clef on the fourth line (tenor), and F clef on the fourth line
29 30
(contra), used for sixteen pieces. 1Eleven compositions uti- lize a combination of C clef on the first line (superius), C clef on the third line (tenor), and F clef on the third line
(contra).2 The employment of so many different clefs and the variety of clef combinations indicate the scribe's intention of keeping each voice part on the staff and restricting the need for leger lines.
Most of the transcriptions of this edition employ the treble clef for the superius, the treble clef to be read an octave lower for the tenor, and the bass clef for the contra. To avoid the extensive use of leger lines, various other combinations are needed for nine works.3
Modes
The compositions of the manuscript are written in the widely used ecclesiastical modes of the time. The modes have been identified from the roots of the final cadential chords in connection with the prevailing key signatures.
The following statistics have been compiled on this basis:
'Nos. 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 23, 25, 27, 28, 30, 37, 38, 40, 41, 46, and 49. 2Nos. 9, 15, 29, 31, 32, 34, 39, 43, 44, 47, and 48.

Grand Total: 53
This table shows that the Dorian mode--either in un- transposed position with the final on D or once transposed, with B flat in the signature and the final on G--is employed for almost one-half of the compositions. Since the Lydian mode never occurs without a flat in the signature, it can also be considered the once transposed position of the
Ionian.5
Cadences
In forty-eight of the fifty-three compositions all parts close on the final of the mode. Four others close with the fifth of the chord in one voice, the roots appearing in the
5 Gustave Reese, Music in the Renaissance (New York, 1959), pp. 185-186. ~~~ 32
remaining voices.6 The one composition written in the
Phrygian mode concludes with two roots and a minor third. 7
In this work the second resolving downward to the final is
considered the leading tone and the seventh remains un-
raised. 8It should be noted further that the majority of
the pieces begin with either the final or the fifth of the
mode in one or more voice parts.
Key Signatures and Partial Signatures
Twenty-seven compositions show blank key signatures.
This indicates that these works are written in the untrans-
posed position of the modes. Twenty-four compositions show
one flat in the signatures of all voice parts, indicating
the use of a once transposed position of the mode (up a
fourth or down a fifth).
Two works give partial or conflicting signatures. Both
in Fortuna desperata (no. 9) and Plaine dennuy / Anima mea
liquefacta est (no. 46), the tenor and contra show one flat
in their signatures while the superius contains none. Since
the number of B-naturals in the superius of Fortuna desperata
is small, the existing accidental (measure 54) and the normal
6 No. 20 contains two roots and a fifth in a three-part work, and nos. 24, 33, and 44 contain three roots and a fifth in four-part works.

application of musica ficta obviated a need for a flat in
the key signature.9 This is substantiated by the following
list of variant conflicting signatures found for this work
in other manuscript sources, most of which contain a fourth
voice:

In Plaine dennuy / Anima mea liguefacta est, however,
no accidentals occur in the superius and much musica ficta
is required. Perhaps this indicates an error of omission in
the scribe's work. This also can be verified by a list of
full signatures found for this piece in other manuscripts:

Accidentals and Musica Ficta
All accidentals found in the manuscript are placed on
the staff in the transcriptions. No sharps are given, but
B-flat and E-flat occur. These are employed to prevent
cross relations, melodic augmented fourths and diminished
fifths, or diminished fifths and octaves between voices.
One flat occurs before "f" (no. 18, superius, measure 34) to
help the singer identify this note outside the gamut.10
Flats are also placed before the sixth degree of the Dorian mode in accordance with the rule una nota supra la semper
est canendum fa.
The customary rules of musica ficta have been applied
to all compositions as a supplement to the sparse usage of accidentals. These rules are summarized as follows:
Melodic:
1. the melodic augmented fourth or diminished fifth
should be rendered perfect;
2. Subsemitonium modi must be used at cadences in the
Dorian, Mixolydian, and Aeolian modes; this does not apply to the Phrygian mode;"
3. the sixth of the Dorian mode must be flatted when between two A's in accordance with the rule una nota supra la semper est canendum fa.
10 Ibid., pp. 254-256.
"See p. 32. 35
Harmonic:
1. all fifths, octaves, and twelfths must be perfect;
if not perfect according to the signature, they must be ren-
dered perfect;
2. the third expanding to the fifth must be major; the
third contracting to the unison must be minor;
3. the sixth expanding to the octave must be major;
the sixth contracting to the fifth must be minor.12
The general observation of these rules by the performers
of the time is indicative of the strong leaning toward the
later establishment of tonality.' 3
Meter Signatures
The majority of compositions in the manuscript use
tempus imperfectum diminutum or proportio dupla. This is
transcribed as 2/2 (*=J). In no. 28 the meter signature of
the contra is omitted by the scribe, but is clearly meant to be . The superius and contra of no. 19 show C 2, which is another symbol for proportio dupla and is transcribed as
such.14 Measures 1-16 of no. 22 employ C , tempus im- perfectum, in all voices and are transcribed in 2/1 (O=o)).
'2 See Gustave Reese, Music in the Middle Ages (New York, 1940), p. 381.
'3 Edward E. Lowinsky, Tonality and Atonality in Sixteenth- Century Music (Los Angeles, 1962), pp. 1-2.
'4 Willi Apel, The Notation of Polyphonic Music 200-1600, rev. ed. (Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1953), p. 1I7. 36
Four works employ 4 3, which would appear to be a combi-
nation of dupla and tripla called proportio sextupla. How-
ever, f at the beginning of the sixteenth century was used
in the sense of C , so that "the figure 3 does not combine
with the dupla-stroke, but only modifies its meaning to indi-
cate tripla rather than dupla."1 5 Thus, J 3 may be considered proportio sesquialtera in which three semibreves in the pro-
portion equal two in proportio dupla ( 340=('4). 4 3 is therefore transcribed as 3/2. No. 23 is written entirely in
3, while three others utilize it only in part: no. 22, measures 17-23; no. 51, measures 35-42; no. 39, measures 57-
58 in the tenor only as the other voices continue in
creating a momentary cross rhythm.
There are a few instances in which the penultimate measure of a composition contains three beats instead of two.
This fifteenth century practice of holding off the final chord by elongating the preceding measure is indicated in the transcriptions by the insertion of a 3/2 penultimate bar.16 Other 3/2 bars are required before chords in inter- mediary cadences.17
Blackened Notes
Coloration occurs throughout the manuscript. The blackening of semibreve and minim, minor color (+ ), is used
15Ibid., p. 157. 16Nos 14, 25, 31, 32, and40.
'7 Nos. 25, 31, 32, and 40. 37
interchangeably and as an alternate to -f.18 A few in-
stances of half-blackened ligatures c. o. p. contain minor
color as follows: 6 = 4=44-.19 Occasionally, the blackening of breve and semibreve, minor color temporis, is
employed (==.;=Q 1-) . 2O Brackets Ef~~are placed
above all examples of coloration in the transcriptions.
Subsidiary Sumbols
The purpose and use of the signum congruentiae, corona, repetition signs, double bar lines, and custos found in the manuscript are discussed as follows.
Signum Congruentiae
The signum congruentiae "-. provides points of reference
in the various parts. In free chansons signa mark the be- ginning of the last section.21 A signum marks the beginning of the last statement of the cantus firmus in yet another composition. 22
The symbol is used in three canonic pieces to indicate the entrance of the comes (consequent of the canon). In no. 24, Coment peult avoir joye, a signum is shown over the

In no. 33, Je le lairay, a signum shown over the second note of the superius marks the entrance of the imitative altus at the interval of the fifth below. In no. 44, Salve mater Salvatoris, a signum is found over the first dotted semibreve of the contra (which starts on d) along with the instruction "Canon Qui se exaltat humiliabit(ur)." This passage is taken from the second half of Luke 14:11, which reads: "quia omnis gui se exaltat, humiliabitur et se humiliat, exaltabitur." The English ver- sion is as follows: "For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."
Canon by inversion is implied here; the altus is realized by starting on d' at the signum and imitating the contra in contrary motion.23 All signa congruentiae found in the manu- script have been placed in the transcriptions.
Corona
The meaning of the corona (\ is that of "hold," the same as that of the modern-day fermata, which it resembles.
It, like the signum congruentiae, marks the close of a

Repetition Sign, Double Bar Lines and Custos
The repetition sign -indicates the repeat of a sec- tion and is used in free chansons. Double bar lines, placed on the staff after the final longa in each voice, mark the end of the composition. The custos i- is used throughout the manuscript at the end of a staff to indicate the pitch of the first note of the next staff. 2 7 4 2 Nos. 1, 4, 5, 14, 17, 25, 34, 37, and 49.

FORMS OF THE TEXTS
The texts found in London Add. 35087 are limited to ron-
deaux refrains, single stanzas of free chansons, and single
lines of motets. Only one piece, Adieu solas tout plaisir
(no. 31), provides more: one additional stanza lies beneath
the superius of this free chanson. The texts occur under all
voices, and the lines of text usually coincide with matching
musical phrases.
Five compositions contain fragmentary text only. More
complete texts to two of these works, Ut queant laxis (no. 23)
and Fors seulement (no. 42), have been found and are given
in the Transcriptions. However, the texts to Que nest il vray (no. 36), Je ML soloye aller (no. 50), and. Dicant nunc
Judaei (no. 53) have not been located and remain incomplete.
Another piece, Pauper sum ego (no. 11), gives only the tex-
tual incipits; the full text found in Psalm LXXXVII:16
(E.V. LXXXVIII:15) is used in the transcription of this song motet. Where London Add. 35087 shows an omission, the missing words, found elsewhere, are placed in the Transcrip-
tions in brackets, with a footnote identifying their source.

Chansons
Like many manuscripts compiled at the end of the fif- teenth and the beginning of the sixteenth centuries, London
Add. 35087 includes examples of the two important types of
French secular music of that time: the courtly chanson musicale and the more popular chanson rustique. The formes fixes used for the chanson musicale dealt with the courtly themes of unrequited love, inconsolable grief, and melancholic thoughts of death, all treated in a sophisticated and affected style. The three principal formes fixes were the rondeau, virelai, and ballade.
The manuscript has no virelai or ballade, but does con- tain five rondeaux. Two of the five, Mon souuenir (no. 18) and Mais gue che fut (no. 19), are rondeaux quatrains with refrains of four lines. Mais gue che fut may serve as an example of this form: Text Music Mais aue che fut secretement A A En aulcum lieu ou le diroie B James homme n'escondiroie B B Pour ung petit cop seulement A CQui priroit trop longuement I Pour le second ie le feroye b a Mais gue che fut secretement A En aulcum lieu ou je diroie B tSi en vouliez plus largement a Je cuyde que ie noseroye b J Par dieu ie men aduiseroie b Dy trouuer bon appointementJ'a

ABBA, and falls into two musical sections, A and B, with a medial cadence occurring between the two sections in meas- ures 12-13.
The first two lines of the second stanza follow an ab rhyme and are sung to the music of the first part of the re- frain; the remainder of the stanza is a repetition of the words and music of the first part of the refrain. The third stanza incorporates both the rhyme-scheme (abba) and the music (AB) of the full refrain, after which comes the final recurrence of the refrain.
The structure of the rondeau quatrain may also employ an alternate rhyme-scheme: ABAB abAB abab ABAB. In sources having full rondeaux texts, repetitions of the refrain are often indicated by the first hemistich, called the rentrement. 3

Three other pieces, Cest mal sarchie (no. 25), Sourdes regretz (no. 37), and Fors seulement (no. 42) are rondeaux cinquains with refrains of five lines. Sourdes regretz will serve as an example of this form:
Text Music Sourdes regretz environes mon ceu A Tout de sospirs de peines et de] doleur, A A Puis qu'ainsy est quay ma dame perdue, B J'aimaisse mieulx james l'avoir veue, B B Pour en estre s lontemps en languer. A

The final refrain line of a rondeau cinquain rhymes with one of the preceding pairs. In this example the fifth line rhymes with the first pair: AABBA. The refrain again falls into two musical sections, A and B; the close of the first sec- tion is marked by a corona above each voice in measure 30.

The two remaining stanzas follow the scheme of the rondeau quatrain.5 It is possible that the scribe of the Brussels manuscript made an error and either omitted a line from each of these stanzas or copied the stanzas of a different Sourdes regretz. Although the rhyme-endings of the stanzas agree with those of the refrain, their reversed order produces a different rhyme-scheme: ba baab. Pugh presumes that the stanzas belong to a rondeau cinquain but suggests only that the third stanza lacks a line.6 However, a third line must also be added to the short stanza to provide sufficient text for its musical section (first part of refrain setting). If one assumes the stanzas to be incomplete, the piece could be performed today with the repetition of line two of the short stanza and any one line of the third stanza.
In Fors seulement because of the instrumental style of the long opening duet between superius and contra, only the tenor has been given the refrain text of this rondeau cin- quain. This interpretation of the work as a vocal-instru- mental arrangement is also necessitated by the absence of a

Two medial cadences occur, but in neither do all voices cadence at once. The close of the third line of text falls in measures 29-30 in the superius, measures 36-37 in the tenor and contra.
By the beginning of the sixteenth century, the chanson rustigue supplanted the chanson musicale as the predominant form of secular music. The preponderance of chansons of a more popular genre in London Add. 35087 is an indication of the decline in the use of the formes fixes at the end of the fifteenth century. Whereas the formes fixes treated courtly life and love, the chanson rustique dealt with everyday life with its variety, wit, and realism. Its poetry treated love in a bucolic and naive manner or as a subject for satire and irony; favorite subjects were the cuckolded husband, the young girl married to an old man, and the amorous adventures of members of the clergy.7
There are thirty-three free chansons in the manuscript.
Their texts are strophic or consist of a single through- composed stanza. Refrains punctuate the strophic structure of several works, and there is a tendency toward assonance rather than genuine rhyme in many texts. The musical phrases, which will be discussed in the succeeding chapter, follow the

Nine pieces (nos. 10, 13, 16, 29, 33, 40, 45, 51, and
52) take both text and music from the two monophonic chan- sonniers of the period: Paris, Bibliotheque Nationale, Fonds fr. 9346 and Fonds fr. 12744. A discussion of eight repre- sentative chansons with and without refrains follows:
No. 28 Je voy je viens Text Music Je voy, je viens, mon ceur s'en volle, a A Je me tue, et ne sgay pourquoy. b B Vous est-il point ainsi de moy? b Nenny, je ne suis pas si folle. A A t
This is a chanson with refrain. The one-line refrain follows the stanza of three lines. Three other stanzas are provided by Howard Brown. The stanza and refrain together employ a rondeau quatrain rhyme-scheme: abbA; the music has a simple ternary structure. The poem is heterometric: 9 8
8 9. The text recounts how a man entreats a woman to love him.
No. 31 Adieu solas tout plaisir Text Music Adieu solas, tout plaisir, et liesse a A Mon poure ceur sy bit en grant tristesse a Sc'Test du regret gue Pay de mon amy B B Ellas, il m'a fally. B

This chanson with refrain has a stanza of two lines fol- lowed by a two-line refrain. The second stanza is found only in our manuscript. Each stanza shows a paired rhyme as does each refrain. The text is set to two musical sections, the second being repeated in London, British Museum, MS Harley
5242, f. 20'-21. The wording of the first line of the refrain changes slightly in the second stanza. Elisabeth Heldt calls this rather curious procedure "Refrainwechsel" or "changing refrain." Note also that the first word of the second re- frain line, ellas, is repeated in the second stanza making a line of eight syllables rather than six. The poem is hetero- metric: 11 11 10 6 (8). The text is a lament of a lost sweetheart.

This chanson with refrain has a six-line stanza followed by a refrain of two lines with the last line repeated twice.
The monophonic source gives one stanza of text with the first line beginning, A l'ombre d'ung buissonet.1 Three other stanzas, whose two-line refrains are quite similar to ours, are taken from another monophonic source, Aupres d'un jolys boucquet.12 The stanza is set to three musical sections, whereas the refrain utilizes four. The stanza shows two dif- ferent cross rhymes and the refrain one: ababbc BC(CC). The poem is heterometric: 7 8 7 8 8 7 9 8 (8 8). The text is similar to that of the earlier pastourelle; it relates a scene between a shepherd and a shepherdess in rather base language.13

This is another chanson with refrain. The two-line stanza has a paired rhyme, aa, and the four-line refrain with the last line repeated has the rhyme-scheme, ABBB(B). The seven lines are set to five musical sections. The monophonic source supplies the missing word, donc, needed to complete the rhyme of the third refrain line as well as six other stanzas which employ "changing refrains." The first line changes with each new singing of the refrain, whereas the second line of the refrain is retained in six of the seven stanzas. The third and fourth lines remain unaltered in each of the stanzas. The poem utilizes octosyllabic lines: 8 8
8 8 8 8 (8). The text shows the anxiety of a young woman who is separated from her sweetheart.15

This is a six-line strophic chanson. The stanza con- sists of two equal sections, each following the rhyme-scheme of the bar-form: aab aab; the text is set to two similar musical sections. London, British Museum, MS Harley 5242, f. 22' contains eight other stanzas, and the monophonic source has four extra stanzas. The poem is heterometric:

This is another strophic chanson. The five-line stanza with the last line repeated twice has the rhyme-scheme,

'8 Heldt, Die Liedformen, p. 4. 51 aabba(aa), and is set to a seven-part musical structure. The insertion, est, is derived from the monophonic source, which also includes two other stanzas.19 The second of these two extra stanzas appears to be incomplete, having only three lines with the rhyme-scheme: aab. It is possible that two of these lines were to be repeated for the fourth and fifth essential lines of the stanza. Or, perhaps three lines of the first stanza were meant to be inserted after the above three lines, in the same manner as the first part of a rondeau refrain follows the short stanza. Paris 12744, f. 46, gives four stanzas of a somewhat different text, and its melody, beyond the initial phrase, is not related to the above com- position.20 The poem is heterometric: 8 8 7 8 8 (8 8); the text is yet another lament of a mal mariee.

The stanza of this eight-line strophic chanson employs two different cross rhymes: ababbcbc. The lines of the text

frustrations in courting a woman.
The two pieces with Italian texts, Fortuna desperata
(no. 9) and Consummo la mia vita (no. 17), are included among the thirty-three free chansons. Both are through-composed songs with two- and four-line stanzas. A discussion of
Fortuna desperata follows:
Text Fortuna desperata a iniqua maledicta a che di tal dona electa a la fama ay denegata a
The poem is heterometric, 7 7 8 8, and each line ends with the same rhyme: aaaa. The music is through-composed and follows the style of the Burgundian song. The text is a complaint to the goddess "Fortuna," who played an important part in Renaissance thought; 2 1 the text is the basis for many chanson settings of the late fifteenth century (see
Concordance).
Motet-Chanson
London Add. 35087 contains one motet-chanson--a work combining French and Latin texts. Plaine dennuy / Anima mea liquefacta est (no. 46) unites a rondeau quatrain refrain in
2 1 Edward E. Lowinsky, "The Goddess Fortuna in Music," The Musical Quarterly, XXIX (January, 1943), 65. 53 the two upper voices with a Latin passage from the Song of
Solomon V:6 and 8, in the contra.22 Maniates gives the fol- lowing description of the texts: "In the French poem, a lady welcomes death as a relief from the pain of disappointed love; the Latin text appropriately expresses the despair of a bride searching for her beloved." 2 3 Martin Picker points out that
"the import of the Biblical passage in this context is evi- dently secular rather than sacred. "24
Song Motets
Closely allied to the motet-chanson is the song motet.
London Add. 35087 includes nine of these works: nos. 1, 2,
3, 4, 8, 11, 23, 26, and 34. Stylistically, these resemble chansons and are more often included in chansonniers of around 1500 than in motet collections for church use.2 5
Contrafacta have been found for some of the works, which in- dicate their existence also as motet-chansons. The distinction

No. 1 0 vos omnes
0 vos omnes u transitis per viam, attendite et videte si est dolor sicut dolor meus; quoniam vindemiavit me, ut locutus est Dominus in die irae furious sui.
The text of 0 vos omnes is derived from the first part of the Lamentations of Jeremiah I:12.27 Its English transla- tion follows: All ye that pass by, behold and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow. Several manuscripts show the music as a setting of this text, whereas two different contrafacta are also found associated with our music.
Brussels, Bibliotheque Royale de Belgique, MS 228 gives the work as a motet-chanson (f. 59'-60) with a French text, 0 devotz ceurs, in the two upper voices over 0 vos omnes in the contra. The French text expresses the mourning of Mary for the dead Christ.2 8
Three other sources (see Concordance) give a rondeau refrain, Tant ay dennuy, for this piece; the full rondeau

No. 4 Parce Domine
Parce Domine, populo tuo, Qui Pius es et misericors, Exaudi nos in aeternum Domine.
The first line of this text is taken from Joel 11:17; the second line is from Ecclesiastes 11:13, whereas the third line is an invocation which has not been found.3 ' Its English translation follows: "Have mercy, 0 Lord, on thy people, For thou art kind and merciful. Hear us forever, 0 Lord." 3 2

Five extended motets, which unlike song motets do not resemble chansons, are also found in London Add. 35087: nos. 12, 38, 39, 44, and 53. For the most part these are lamentations or prayers of repentance. Peccantem me guotidie

MUSICAL FORMS
The fifty-three compositions of this study represent an interesting cross-section of French, Italian, and Latin mu- sical genres from the end of the fifteenth and beginning of the sixteenth centuries. These genres will be discussed separately, and each discussion will include commentary on representative examples. Secular music comprises the bulk of the works in London Add. 35087, including five courtly ron- deaux and thirty-three free chansons. One motet-chanson, nine song motets, and five other extended motets complete the forms.
Rondeaux
Fifteenth-century rondeaux by Hayne van Ghizeghem
(no. 18), Alexander Agricola (no. 25), and Loyset Compere
(nos. 19 and 37) constitute the earliest stylistic group of pieces in our manuscript. Generally, the superius is the predominant voice in these works. The tenor provides an effective counterpoint to the superius melody, whereas the contra is subjugated to a more harmonic and accompanying role.
In the period from 1460 to about 1480 Hayne van
Ghizeghem was one of the foremost chanson composers of the
57 58
Burgundian school. Both Eloy d'Amerval in his Livre de la
Deablerie and Guillaume Cretin in his Deploration sur la mort de Ockeghem attest to Hayne's fame.2 Following his death (1472?), his works appear to have been neglected until the beginning of the sixteenth century when a number of manu- scripts and Petrucci prints incorporate them.3
Hayne's Mon souuenir (no. 18) contains a melodic superius with long, rounded phrases. To this is joined a conjunct tenor in similar rhythmic motion to produce occasional thirds and sixths, and they often cadence together. The independent contra begins one measure after the entrance of the superius and tenor and remains behind them throughout the piece. The cadence of each phrase of the contra thereby overlaps the be- ginning of each succeeding phrase sung by the upper voices.
Only in the final cadence does the contra catch the other two parts. Little use of imitation is observed: Cf. superius, m. 9f. with tenor, m. 10f.; superius, m. 19ff. with tenor, m. 20ff. and contra, m. 26f. The work is written in a "non- quartal" style (without harmonic fourths) and could be per- formed with the contra omitted without disrupting the

correctness of intervals between the other two voices.
Each line of text is set to a separate musical phrase,
but little regard is given to the proper accentuation of the
words. The musical phrases, which vary in length, begin syl-
labically with breves and semibreves before changing into
melismas with minim and semiminim values. Hayne limits his
harmonies to triads in root position or first inversion.
Open fifths and octaves are usually reserved for cadential
points. Overall, the melodic style of the piece dominates
the musical structure.
Cest mal sarchie (no. 25) is one of ninety-three secular
pieces composed by Alexander Agricola. This highly esteemed
member of Philippe le Beau's chapel wrote in a style similar
to Hayne's. The song-like superius of his work is the domi-
nant voice to which is added a lyric tenor in almost note-
against-note counterpoint. Unlike the lowest voice of Mon
souuenir, Agricola's contra begins with the other voices and
more directly supports them as a harmonic bass. The third
and fourth phrases show imitative beginnings in all voices:
Cf. contra, m. 14ff. with tenor, m. 15ff. and superius,
m. 16ff.; contra, m. 21ff. with tenor, m. 22ff. and superius,
4Charles W. Fox, "Non-Quartal Harmony in the Renais- sance," The Musical Quarterly, XXXI (January, 1945), 33-53. In fifteenth century composition all fourths were prohibited between voices except as passing tones, neighboring tones, escaped notes, suspensions, anticipations, etc. The rule applied to all instances except when the contratenor was a middle voice. Mon souuenir contains a single harmonic fourth in measure 8, at which point the contra is above the tenor. 60 m. 23ff. After the fourth note in each voice, however, the work returns to the preceding harmonic style. Minim rests serve to break up the phrase structure and prepare short syncopated passages: Cf. tenor, m. 31ff. with contra, m. 32ff.; all voices, m. 38ff. These rests also create po- etic caesuras in the second phrase after the second accented syllable (m. 11), whereas coronas are employed on the fourth syllable in the first phrase (m. 4).
One source contains an added si placet voice for Cest mal sarchie.5 In general, this voice is unlike the three principal parts. Its wide range, abrupt skips, and dissimilar style indicate that it was not part of the original composi- tion but a later addition to serve as a "filler" or an in- strumental accompaniment for the other voices.
Two important rondeaux by Loyset Compere appear in our manuscript: Mais che fut (no. 19) and Sourdes regretz
(no. 37). The great diffusion of Compere's works in the manuscripts of the end of the fifteenth century is an indi- cation of his importance as a chanson, motet-chanson, and song motet composer. Petrucci included sixteen of Compere's pieces in Odhecaton, six in Canti B, and five in Canti C.6
5Harmonice musices Odhecaton A (Venice, Ottaviano Petrucci, 1501), f. 14'-15; Helen Hewitt, editor, Harmonice musices Odhecaton A with edition of literary texts by Isabel Pope (Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1942), p. 244. 6Ludwig Finscher, "Loyset Compere and His Works," Musica Disciplina, XII (1958), 120. 61
Stylistically, Mais gue che fut and Sourdes regretz re- semble Hayne's work in many respects: the melodic superius coupled to the tenor, the harmonically supporting contra, and the rounded, singable phrases of unequal length which begin syllabically and become more melismatic toward the cadences.7 Like Agricola, however, Compere employs short imitative patterns, but his imitations are more carefully organized than those of his contemporary.
In Mais gue che fut (no. 19) all phrases except for the first utilize some imitation between the two upper voices, but in no instance do the imitative passages extend past the fourth syllable in a text line: Cf. superius, m. 14ff. with tenor, m. 15ff.; superius, m. 21f. with tenor, m. 22ff.
Thus, these bits of imitation provide poetic caesuras as- sociated with the rondeau text.
Sourdes regretz (no. 37) employs systematic imitation at the beginnings of phrases in all voices: Cf. tenor, m. 1ff., with contra, m. 2ff.; and superius, m. 3ff.; contra, m. 35ff. with tenor, m. 36ff. and superius, m. 37ff. Yet, the imitation does not continue through to the cadence but breaks off in the middle of the phrase, after which the harmonic, note-against-note style resumes. The phrases are of a more uniform length, and a corona instead of a signum
7Martin Picker, The Chanson Albums of Marguerite of Austria, MSS 228 and 11239 of the Biblioteque Royale de Belgique, Brussels (Berkeley, 1965), p. 60. 62 marks the medial cadence in each voice, the only such usage
in the manuscript. Martin Picker comments on Compere's
cadential formulas by stating that his "cadences include well-defined areas of subdominant as well as dominant:
II5-V-I cadences occur in . . . 'Sourdez regretzT (m. 11)."8
Compere also employs text declamation briefly in his work: m. 18-20, 26-28.9
Helen Hewitt thinks that the anonymous setting of Fors
seulement (no. 42) in the manuscript is an important link between the original rondeau written by Ockeghem and those works which contain the "new" cantus firmus.10 Our piece begins with a long opening duo between the superius and contra before the tenor enters in measure 9. The first five measures of the superius condense and imitate the first six measures of Ockeghem's contra; in measures 6-9 the superius then paraphrases measures 7-10 of Ockeghem's contra. Ac- cording to Hewitt, the tenor of our setting does not appear to be borrowed but can be considered the source of the "new" cantus firmus.11 Since the cantus firmus is prefaced by that

of Ockeghem, this piece acknowledges Ockeghem's work as the number one setting of Fors seulement.
Our setting has several interesting features: points of
imitation occur between the two outer voices in the opening duo (Cf. superius, m. 1-3 with contra, m. 2-4); strong ca- dences arise throughout the piece (Cf. superius and contra, m. 9; all voices, m. 19, 30, 37, 54). These cadences and the clear-cut phrase structure of the tenor clearly indicate
that the work is a rondeau. However, the long opening duo disrupts the coordination of the lines of text, so that no medial cadence can be found which is common to the third text line ending in all voices. This prevents a joint return to the beginning after the completion of the short stanza. A possible solution may be text repetition: following the en- trance of the tenor in measure 9, the first line of text could be repeated in the next musical phrase of the superius and contra, beginning in measure 10; this would involve crowding the text lines of the contra and would conflict with the setting of the refrain text in the outer voices as shown in the Antico collection.12 Since the problem appears in- soluble and because of the instrumental style of the opening duo between the outer voices, only the tenor has been assigned the text and will be sung to the accompaniment of the superius and contra.

The following Fors seulement settings are patterned after our piece with its "new" cantus firmus. Pipelare's four-part
Fors seulement has the "new" cantus firmus in the tenor, and like our piece opens with a duet between two outer voices.13
Another setting by Antoine de Fevin is a parody on Pipelare's chanson. Hewitt states that all of the phrases of the "new" cantus firmus except the first two are found, in the superius or tenor of this piece.14 A four-part anonymous setting con- tains the "new" cantus firmus in its tenor; in addition several phrases of the cantus firmus are anticipated in one or another of the upper parts.15 Still another anonymous setting from the "Diane de Poitiers" Codex has the "new" cantus firmus in its superius and the first eight measures of
Ockeghem's tenor in its altus. Thus, this setting and our work form interesting links between the chansons based on
Ockeghem's Fors seulement and those based on the "new" cantus firmus.
Free Chansons
The thirty-three free chansons of our manuscript divide into three rather distinct styles of composition. Pieces in all three types employ chanson rustique melodies, and many

'5 Cambrai, Bibliotheque de la Ville, MS 124 (125-128), f. 144'. 65 borrow tunes from the two monophonic chansonniers: Paris,
Bibliotheque Nationale, Fonds fr. 12744 and Fonds fr. 9346.
As Howard Brown has indicated, these "melodies are simple and straightforward; the ranges are narrow, the phrase struc-
ture regular, and the rhythm uncomplicated. Usually each phrase of a melody begins with a short concise rhythmic mo-
tive .16 The phrases tend to be syllabic as the melodies mirror the shape of the words, the meter, and the rhyme schemes.17
Twenty-four of our free chansons are composed in the first of these three styles. They include works by the most
important composers of the beginning of the sixteenth cen-
tury: Josquin, Mouton, Brumel, and Lepetit. In general,
these pieces contain the chanson rustique melody, the cantus prius factus, in the tenor, around which a freely-imitative
superius and contra are fashioned. All three voices are
similar in their melodic and rhythmic structures as well as being equal in range; but the tenor can be distinguished as the cantus prius factus usually in the following ways: it alone preserves the repetition scheme; it is less embellished, and it may be sung alone as an independent melody.18

The imitative texture is smoothly worked out and although the voices enter separately at the beginning of a phrase, they all cadence together. Often, each successive phrase of the tenor is prepared by anticipatory imitations in the outer voices; this elaborate treatment forces the composer to state each phrase of the cantus prius factus in unadorned form, to enable it to cadence with the other voices.19 Cadence for- mulas lean toward a rudimentary tonality and tend to fall regularly into a few distinguishable types. Many could be termed authentic or half cadences; often the authentic type contains a 2-1 melodic progression in the tenor, 8-7-8 sus- pension in the superius, and 5-1 in the contra.
All of the above features are embodied in two interesting works by Josquin: Quant fe vous voye (no. 6) and En lombre dung buisonnet (no. 10). According to Brown, Josquin may have composed both chansons at the court of Louis XII of
France.20 Quant je vous voye is a remarkable little piece only found in one other source.21 This chanson with a two- line refrain is set to a simple but carefully planned ternary form in which the lines of the refrain are sung to the two

A sections, one an exact repetition of the other (m. 1-8;
32-39). The cantus prius factus begins in the tenor in meas- ure 2 following anticipatory imitations by contra and superius.
The phrases of tenor and superius continue to show imitation
throughout the rest of the work and are supported by a freer, less imitative contra. Further imitation in the contra is restricted to the 5-3-1 head motive, which begins the repeti-
tive A section in measure 31ff., and to a tentative restate- ment of the first half of the first refrain line in measures
19ff. (Cf. all voices, m. 1-4 with m. 19-22). Rhythmic vi-
tality is achieved through the imitation of groups of four minims, minim rest and three minims, semibreve in all voices.
These devices also provide good text declamation. Polyphonic
cadences paralleling the harmonic authentic cadence appear in measures 8, 31, and 39.
En lombre dung buisonnet (no. 10) was one of the most
celebrated chanson texts of the fifteenth and sixteenth cen-
turies. The Concordance lists nine different polyphonic
settings of this song: three by Josquin; one each by Busnois,
Issac and Gombert; and three anonymous works. The Busnois piece is a four-voice bergerette with three different texts
(see related piece no. 9). Rabelais included the text among the one hundred eighty chansons in the thirty-third chapter of the fifth book of Pantagruel. 2 2

Our setting is a chanson with a two-line refrain with the last line repeated twice. The stanza of six lines is set
to three musical parts of which the first two are alike
(m. 1-11; 11-21); whereas the refrain is set to four musical
sections, the last three being somewhat similar. The cantus prius factus is derived from the monophonic chansonnier, Paris,
Bibliotheque Nationale, Fonds fr. 9346, f. 1041, A l'ombre d'ung buissonet.2 3 The melody first appears in the tenor and
is immediately imitated at the fifth above by the superius.
This imitation continues over an independent contra until the last phrase of the borrowed tune. At this point the cantus prius factus is paraphrased by all voices. In measure 32ff. the tenor shows the phrase melody under a superius counter- point derived from the preceding phrase, whereas the contra rests. Then in measure 36 the contra is given the melody as the tenor provides the above counterpoint under a tacit
superius. Finally, the superius picks up the last repetition
in measure 39 before the contra ends its phrase in the next measure, after which the two lower voices provide harmonic
support up to the final cadence. The final cadence appears to parallel a strong V-I progression.
Vray dieu damour (no. 45), composed by Josquin's con- temporary, Antoine Brumel, is unique among our free chansons

in two ways: the use of the Ionian mode and the soprano
tessitura of all voices. The range of the three parts falls
between c' and g", which suggests that the work was written
for high voices. The piece is a chanson with a four-line
refrain with the last line repeated and is set to a five-part musical structure: AA'BBC. The fourth section repeats the
third exactly, but the second is a modified repetition of the
first.
The tenor is derived from the monophonic chansonnier,
Paris, Bibliotheque Nationale, Fonds fr. 12744, f. 6'-7.24
The cantus prius factus follows the monophonic source except for the last phrase, where the tenor progresses up a seventh rather than a sixth as shown in Paris 12744. Following anticipatory imitations by superius (m. 1ff.) and contra
(m. 2ff.), the tenor enters with the head motive of the first phrase (m. 4-5). At this point the tenor stops as the superius and contra proceed with a little duet in thirds
(m. 5-7) before the tenor re-enters with the remainder of the phrase. Apparently, Brumel is fond of this device because in the modified repetition of the first section, he provides a similar duet for the outer voices around sustained longas in the tenor (m. 17-19; 20-22).

Apart from the initial point of imitation (m. 1-5) and
its repetition (m. 12-17), imitation is limited to the last three sections. Beginning with measure 29, the two lower voices follow anticipatory imitation by the superius through the next two phrases in a manner which produces cross-rhythms and full triads (c-e-g chords in m. 30, 35, 44; f-a-c chords
in m. 33, 34). In the last phrase (m. 41-46), the contra begins followed by the imitative upper voices. Several
strong cadences are observed in this work with dominant-tonic feeling. However, the melodic progressions of the two upper voices at these cadential points are reversed from those found in the two preceding works: the superius has the 2-1 progression; the tenor has the 8-7-8 suspension (m. 11-12; 33-34; 40-41; 45-46).
Dieu gard de mal (no. 51) is the longest chanson in the manuscript and is one of the finest examples of polyphonic
secular music derived from a pre-existent melody. It was composed by Josquin's most gifted successor, Jean Mouton.2 5
The setting follows the melody and form of the cantus prius factus, Paris, Bibliotheque Nationale, Fonds fr. 9346, f. 32'-33, quite closely.26 The overall form is ABA, and through this ternary structure the composer projects two compositional types: the imitative style now under
25 Gustave Reese, Music in the Renaissance (New York, 1959), p. 280. 6 2 Gerold, Le Manuscrit de Bayeux, No. 32. 71
consideration is employed for the A sections; whereas, the
middle section utilizes a note-against-note, syllabic style,
which resembles the later "Parisian" chanson.
As in Josquin's pieces, Mouton's imitation is extensive
and well organized. Reese and Karp suggest that the cantus
prius factus is found in the superius;27 whereas Chaillon
thinks that the tenor shows the complete melody.28 Study
confirms Chaillon's opinion: initially, the first phrase of
the melody is set imitatively between the two upper voices; but in measures 27-34, the superius rests as the tenor and
contra continue the imitative development of the second phrase. Thus, the tenor is the only voice which contains all of the melody of the first section and therefore must be con- sidered the cantus prius factus. This is further verified by a comparison of the two outer sections. In the tenor meas- ures 47-70 contain an exact repetition of measures 4-27; whereas modifications are made in the superius and contra in measures 43-70, which are not found in the first section in measures 1-27. Note that the two-voice passage between tenor and contra in measures 27-35 is not repeated in the shorter, final section. The middle section is clearly set off from the others as a result of its homorhythmic style, larger note

This section also more definitely establishes the tenor as the cantus prius factus. Again, the dominant-tonic feeling recurs in the final cadence: 5-1 me- lodic progression in contra, 2-1 in tenor, and 8-7-8 suspen-
sion in superius.
Another interesting work is Nino Lepetit's Cest donc par moy (no. 43). Like Dieu gard de mal (no. 51) this piece appears to contain features of both the imitative and "Pari-
sian" styles. However, here the styles are intermixed with the imitative type dominating the other. The initial melodic motive is presented in a duet between the two upper voices in thirds and sixths, before the contra enters in imitation in measure 3. The imitation which follows is not so well or- ganized as it is in the works previously discussed and is restricted to patterns of minims and semibreves, which begin on the up-beat or weak portion of the beat (Cf. tenor, 17ff. with superius and. contra, m. 18ff.).
In measures 28-36 two other features of the imitative style are observed: repetitions of text and music. A part of the third text line in the contra, au monde nest gue mo, is set to a g-g-e-f-g-c-g motive in measures 28-30; both text and motive are repeated without the final g semibreve in meas- ures 31-33 and again without the final g but with the c now a breve in measures 34-36. Imitation also takes place: the superius imitates the contra in measures 28f. before the tenor answers the contra in imitation in measures 30ff.; 73 following the first repetition of the contra (m. 31ff.), the
imitation recurs in the superius in measures 32ff. Finally,
the contra repeats its motive for the second time in measures
34ff.
A number of shorter, less sophisticated free chansons
written in the imitative style appear in our manuscript. The most important of these are Mon mary ma diffamee (no. 13), an anonymous piece, Jayme bien mon amy (no. 29) by Johannes
Ghiselin, and Je voy je viens (no. 28), another anonymous work.
Mon mary ma diffamee is a chanson with a four-line re-
frain. Hewitt gives a comprehensive discussion of the poetic form of this text and explains the features of its changing refrain.2 9 The cantus prius factus, derived from Paris 12744, f. 75'-76, is shown in the tenor.3 0 This voice enters last
(m. 5ff.), following the statements of the contra (m. 1ff.) and imitative superius (m. 3ff.). As is customary in these works, the tenor is the simplest and most direct voice in the texture and is freely imitated by the outer parts. The contra appears to be written in an instrumental style with a wide range and abrupt skips of as much as an octave (m. 8-9;
16; 17-18; 32). This suggests that the part was designed to be performed by an instrument. At any rate, words have been placed in this voice to be sung, if desired.

The musical form resembles the ballade: AAB. The four
lines of the stanza are set to two like sections, one a repe-
tition of the other (repetition signs are given in m. 18); whereas the refrain is given a third and completely different
setting. There are strong cadences at the end of the A and B
sections (m. 18 and 34), but elsewhere phrases overlap in
such a way as to avoid the formation of a strong cadence.
Jayme bien mon amy (no. 29) is one of the shorter chan-
sons in the manuscript: 18 measures. This little work, attributed to "Verbonnet" (Ghiselin) in London Add. 35087, contains a variant statement of the popular tune in the tenor.
This melody is derived from Paris 9346, f. 29'-30.31 The tenor shows the cantus prius factus in its untransposed state with only minor changes in figuration. The first phrase (m. 1-4) is repeated twice for the last line of text and its repetition (m. 12-15; 15-18). One deviation from the version of the melody given by Gerold is that the first note of this phrase each time is c", not aT as in Ghiselin's setting.
In contrast to the simple, straightforward rhythm of the tenor in longer note values, the outer voices feature dotted minims, semiminims, and fusas in a running style, set off by occasional large leaps. Possibly, these voices were intended to be played by instruments; however, words have been placed
31G- Gerold, Le Nanuscrit de Bayeux, No. 29. 75
in the parts so that they may be sung, if desired.
Je voy le viens (no. 28) is a more homogeneous work with
the borrowed melody again in the tenor. All voices enter
jointly on the weak portion of the beat, and imitation is restricted to the development of motives within the homophonic framework of the phrases. The one-line refrain is set in imitation between the contra (m. 16ff.) and a superius-tenor duo in sixths (m. 17ff.). Homorhythm is featured at the be- ginning of the second phrase (m. 9ff.), where all syllables of the text line except the last are set syllabically to minims. Strong dominant-tonic cadences occur in measures 8-9 and at the end in measures 25-26.
Two of our free chansons are composed in a second style in which the borrowed melody is stated in two-part canon with two other voices added to fill out the texture. These pieces are Je le lairay (no. 33) by Jean Mouton and Coment peult avoir joye (no. 24) by Johannes de Vyzeto. In Je le lairay the superius enters with the cantus prius factus followed by the altus half a measure later in canon at the fifth below. The signum found over the second note of the superius signals the entrance of the altus. These two voices progress through the entire composition with their joint statement of the melody. As may be expected in a strict can- on, the melody is plain and straightforward, utilizing long note values (semibreves). The melody is derived from 76
Paris 9346, f. 67'-68, with variations in pitch and note values.32
In contrast to the two-voice canon, the lower two voices are distinguished by smaller note values, dotted rhythms, wide ranges, abrupt skips, and a more instrumental style.
Both voices serve necessary supporting roles to the canonic parts above them.
The work follows a five-part musical form: ABCAA. The two lines of the refrain--one line of eight syllables and a second line of four--are set together to the first phrase and the last phrase (the third A section).
In Coment peult avoir joye (no. 24) the direction "In dyatesseron" and a signum above the third semibreve in the highest given voice indicate a fourth, canonic part. Thus, the superius follows the altus two beats later in canon at the fourth above. The melody is a variant of a German folk song, "Wohlauf, gut G'sell von hinnen." The two lower voices imitate four-note head motives of several phrases, but beyond this they do not take part in the imitative structure and are subjugated to supporting roles. The music falls into a four- part AABA form.
Hewitt explains that our setting contains the most com- plete text of all related French pieces.3 3 However, our poem
32 Ibid., No. 66.
33Hewitt, Canti B. numero cinguanta B, p. 47. 7?
contains seven lines to which must be added another line
following our first line, makingan eight-line text with the rhyme-scheme: abab cdcd. This missing second line, Qui
Fortune contrent, is found as the second of four lines in a quodlibet from Florence, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, MSS
Magl. XIX.164-167. Hewitt expounds further as follows:
Since these four lines are the only bit of French in a text otherwise completely Italian, it is not strange that an Italian scribe gave a highly distorted reading. If the French equivalent is substituted for "che fortuna" this line will read "Qui Fortune contrent."34
The third compositional style prevalent among our free chansons comprises the following features: a plain, direct statement of the cantus prius factus in either superius or tenor; a homorhythmic accompaniment in the other voices; oc- casional points of imitation; phrase repetition; compactness, and brevity. The six chansons in this style (nos. 14, 15, 16,
31, 32, and 40) anticipate the homorhythmic "Parisian" chan- son made popular by Claudin de Sermisy and his contemporaries in the second quarter of the sixteenth century.
Two of these works, Si jayme mon amy (no. 16), an anony- mous work, and Buuon ma commere (no. 40) by Benedictus
Appenzeller, take both texts and melodies from the monophonic chansonniers. In Si jayme mon amy the cantus prius factus is given to the superius, which follows the monophonic source,
Paris 12744, f. 80'-81, quite closely.35 In our setting the
4Ibid.,p. 48.
35Paris and Gevaert, Chansons du XVe siecle, No. 118. 78
six-line stanza is divided into two musical sections, one a modified, repetition of the other (Cf. m. 1-8 with in. 8-15).
This chanson differs from all others in two important aspects: it is the shortest chanson in the manuscript, num- bering only fifteen measures; and it is completely void of
imitation. All voices enter simultaneously with three-minim anacruses and continue in a homorhythmic manner, which is
conspicuous for its succession of minims (Cf. all voices, m. 1-3; 8-10; 12-13). Although the work is notated in duple meter, the poetry seems to indicate 3/2 not 2/2. During the
Renaissance it was common practice to conceal triple rhythm within duple meter. This could be done because the tactus is completely independent of rhythm and accent.36
Appenzeller's Buuon ma commere (no. 40) combines a homorhythmic tenor-contra duo with a slightly imitative, more elaborate superius. The text and melody of this happy drinking song stem from Paris 9346, f. 15-16, and this cantus prius factus is placed in the tenor of our setting.3 7 The form of the piece is a simple ABA with the refrain line sung to both A sections (m. 1-7; 19-24) and the two-line stanza set to the longer middle section (m. 8-18). Note-against- note homophony in all voices occurs in measures 8-10, and
6 3 Curt Sachs, Rhythm and Tempo, a Study in Music History (New York, 1953), p. 242ff.
3 7Gerold, Le Manuscrit de Bayeux, No. 15. 79
points of imitation are shown in measures 13-18, again in
all parts.
Antoine de Fevin's Adieu solas tout plaisir (no. 31)
joins an imitative melodic voice with a two-part homorhythmic
accompaniment. Brown states that "presumably, then, [the]
top voice is a pre-existing melody, although the tenor might
just as well be, for when it is not imitating the superius it
is moving in parallel sixths with it." 3 8 He further points
out that the initial triadic progression of I-vi-V, the fol- lowing "three quarter note anacruses," the shape of the melody, and the light imitation are all reminiscent of
Claudin1 s chansons.3
The two-part musical form mirrors the rhyme-scheme of this chanson with refrain. The two-line stanza, which forms a paired rhyme, is set to identical phrases within the larger first section (m. 1-6; 7-12). The two-line refrain forms a different paired rhyme and is placed to another, shorter musical section (m. 13-18). Siena given at the beginning
(m. 13) and end (m. 18) of this second part may indicate a repetition of this refrain section as found in London,
British Museum, MS Harley 5242, f. 20'-21. In its use of the
Lydian mode with B flat in the signature and cadences on g, g, and f, the piece approaches a more tonal design.40
38 Brown, "The Genesis of a Style," p. 26. 3 9 Ibid. 4 OIbid. 80
Mouton's James naymeray (no. 32) is similar to Adieu
solas tout plaisir (no. 31) in the following ways: the
initial chord progression of I-vi-V; the Lydian mode with B
flat in the signature; the three minim anacruses (m. 3, 15);
the repetition of phrases; and the lightly imitative cantus
prius factus in the superius accompanied homorhythmically by
the two lower voices. The overall form is AABA; however,
signa appear above the beginning (m. 17) and end (m. 20) of
the second half of the last A section. This rather common procedure of repeating the last phrase and line of text is
confirmed in two early printed collections, which contain the work (see Concordance).
There are two free songs in our manuscript with Italian
texts: Fortuna desperata (no. 9) by Antoine Busnois and Con-
summo la mia vita (no. 17) by Johannes Prioris. These pieces have several features in common: a simple, straightforward melody; through-composed form; tentative use of imitation; and long note values, mainly semibreves and breves.
Busnois' three-voice Fortuna desperata (no. 9) was one of the most celebrated chansons of the fifteenth century.
This setting was enlarged to a four- or five-part work by the addition of an altus, or a bassus, or both. The Concordance shows five such arrangements. The Paris, Bibliotheque
Nationale, Nouv. acq. fr. 4379 and Seville, Biblioteca
Colombina, Cod. 5-1-43 contain one of the more popular four- voice settings, which is also found in several other 81 manuscripts, early printed collections, and modern editions
(related composition no. 1). Another four-part work, whose
altus differs from the preceding one, is located in Bologna,
Civico Museo Bibliografico Musicale, MS Q16 (related composi-
tion no. 3). Still a third setting includes a different
altus and the text of a lauda, "Poi ch te hebi," given in
Florence, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, MS Panciatichi 27
(related composition no. 4). The London, British Museum,
MS Add. 31922 shows yet another setting with a divergent
altus (related composition no. 5). A five-voice setting,
which draws four voices from the Paris 4379, Seville 5-1-43
piece, is taken from Rome, Vatican City, Biblioteca Ap.
Vaticana, Cappella Giulia, Cod. XIII.27 (related composition
no. 2).
A group of other multi-voice chansons and motets are
based on the tenor as a cantus firmus (related composition
nos. 17-27), whereas others employ our superius (related
composition nos. 8-16). Heinrich Isaac utilizes both melo-
dies: he sets our superius into a framework of three four-
and five-voice works (related composition nos. 10-12) and
places our tenor in the superius of a three-voice piece
(related composition no. 17). Two important mass settings
by Josquin and Jacob Obrecht are also based on the tenor
(see Concordance). 82
Burney thinks an ancient ballad, "Titus Andronicus's
Complaint," was the original text for our tenor. It is certain, however, that for some time the melody in the tenor had been the vehicle for the Italian text before composers of the fifteenth century employed it in their polyphonic works.42 The goddess "Fortuna," to whom the text is directed, captivated the Renaissance mind. Not only through the many chanson, motet, and mass settings was she glorified, but in all the other arts as well. Painters, poets, philosophers, and sculptors all courted "Fortuna" through their respective skills.43
According to Lowinsky, it is not surprising to find our song set to music in the Lydian mode (with B flat in the signature). This mode is associated with the planet, Jupiter, the stronger "Fortuna." The piece begins in a homophonic style and shows only a few traces of imitation. These exist between the superius and tenor only (m. 4ff., for example).
The contra is the most disjunct voice with a wide range and several leaps, indicative of its supporting role. Overall, the music and text of this work are striking in their

simplicity and present a great contrast to some of the re-
fined French chansons by the same master. Busnois, the con-
temporary of Hayne and Ockeghem, was the acknowledged leader among the second generation of Burgundian composers.
Consummo la mia vita (no. 17) was composed by Johannes
Prioris, a contemporary of Josquin, around 1500. The work
is set for three voices in three other manuscripts and is
given a four-part setting with added altus in three more manu-
scripts (see Concordance). The compositional style of the
piece resembles that of the earlier Burgundian song: upper voice duet with little imitation over a free, supporting
contra.
According to Bukofzer, "the most remarkable musical fea-
ture of the setting is the gymel structure of soprano and
tenor. These voices move almost constantly in similar rhythm
in thirds and sixths; they are patently the two essential voices on which the structure of the whole depends."45 The
tenor may be the cantus Arius factus, but this cannot be de-
termined since the source is unknown.46 Fermatas figure prominently in breaking up the chordal structure; in the
short span of 25 measures (the length of the work), coronas
occur above all voices in four places: m. 3, 8, 17, and 25.
A basse dance, Consumo la vita mia a XVI [notes], is quoted

4 6 Ibid. 84
in a treatise, Ad suos compagnones studiantes (c. 1519), by
Antonius de Arena. Bukofzer explains that since the music
of this work has not survived in written form, it is impos-
sible to determine the relationship, if any, between our
chanson and the dance.4 8
The work's two-line text is located in only two of the
seven manuscript sources: Cambridge, Magdalene College, MS
Pepys 1760, which attributes the composition to Prioris, and
London Add. 35087. The word, audar, is substituted in the
Cambridge manuscript for our word, ardisco, in the second
line of text. The absence of text in the other manuscripts
has led Rokseth to believe that the work was intended for
instrumental performance.4 Bukofzer has already pointed
out that our two lines of text agree with the first two lines
of a strambotto by Alessandro Mantovano, found in the Antico
collection.5 0 It seems possible that our text is therefore
the surviving remnant of a strambotto.

Motet-Chanson
Plaine dennuy / Anima mea liquefacta est (no. 46) by
Compere is the only piece combining French and Latin texts:
the two upper voices show a rondeau-quatrain refrain, and
the contra contains a Latin passage from the Song of Solo- mon V:6 and 8. Stylistically, this work resembles the late
Burgundian chanson with its superius-tenor duet over a sup- porting contra. Picker discusses the piece as follows:
The contra is virtually identical with the opening and closing phrases of the tenor of Gaspar van Weer- becke's four-part motet, "Anima mea liquefacta est," composed to the same Latin text. A Gregorian source for the melody has not been found. The identity of rhythm between Comp'ere's contra and Gaspar's tenor, with but a few ornamental notes and expanded pauses be- tween the phrases of Compere's version, strongly sug- gests that Comp'ere borrowed the melody directly from Gaspar. The melody in both works is unified by a clear relationship between the first and last phrases (Com- p'ere's setting, m. 5-11, 31-36). Compare increases the formal coherence by repeating the penultimate phrase (m. 20-23, 24-28), producing the form ABCCA'.51
The superius and tenor show anticipatory imitations of the contra (Cf. tenor, m. 1ff. with superius, m. 3ff. and contra, m. 5ff.). In general, however, the superius is the predominant voice in the texture because of its high position and more melodic style. At the end, the composer writes a superius-tenor melisma over a dominant pedal-point in the contra.

Gaspar van Weerbecke's motet, which is quoted above, is found in Brussels 228, f. 47t-48. 86
Song Motets
"Song motets are small works for three voices which hold a place midway between the large, festive tenor motet (four or more voices) and the chanson."52 Stephan points out that pieces in this genre, like motet-chansons, are composed in the style of the Burgundian song: upper voice duo over sup- porting contra.53 The principal difference between the two types appears to be the text: the motet-chanson unites a
French text in the two upper voices with Latin in the contra; whereas the song motet contains the Latin text in all voices.
Song motets are most often found in the chansonniers around
1500 and not in motet-collections.5 4 This is a clear indica- tion of their close stylistic association with chanson reper- toire. Because of the presence of contrafacta for many of these works, the same musical composition may be considered a motet-chanson in some sources and a song motet in others.
London Add. 35087 includes nine song motets: nos. 1, 2,
3, 4, 8, 11, 23, 26, and 34. Pre-existing melodies placed in the contra have been found for two works, whereas others ap- pear to be freely composed. Compere's 0 vos omnes (no. 1) has been wrongly attributed to Jacob Obrecht in several

modern editions, possibly on the strength of one source--
St. Gall, Stiftsbibliothek, Cod. 463, No. 19--which names
Obrecht. It is ascribed to Compere in Bologna, Civico Museo
Bibliografico Musicale, MS Q17, f. 11'-12 and in Rhau 15428,
No. 15. Two diverse contrafacta have already been discussed
in the preceding chapter.
Reese comments that "this little work, for all its seri-
ousness, is a fine example of the airy lyricism that charac-
terizes Compere." 55 Both Rokseth and Stephan note that the
contra resembles plainsong in the first half of the work.5 6
Picker has identified the cantus firmus as a paraphrase of
the recitation-tone of Lectio III of Tenebrae (Lesson III of
Maundy Thursday), which "after measure 33 . . . ceases to draw on the Gregorian melody and its motion is accommodated to that of the other voices." 57
Like Comp'ere's rondeaux (Sourdes regretz, no. 37, for example), imitation is restricted to phrase beginnings and remains subordinate to the melodic design. Note the brief imitation between tenor and superius in measures 15ff. and again in measures 33ff. All three voices join, near the end, in imitating the head motive of the last phrase. At the

beginning the tenor and the superius precede the contra in
rhythmic diminution of the cantus firmus. All the melodic
phrases begin syllabically in long note values before changing
to melismas near the cadences. After measure 33 the contra
drops its cantus firmus role to become the supporting bass
for the upper voices.
Parce Domine (no. 4) is a work of Obrecht's maturity,
written probably just before 1500.58 Glarean uses the piece
in his Dodecachordon as an illustration of the Aeolian mode.5 9
He further explains that our three-voice work is the original
setting to which a fourth voice was added later.6 The
contra presents the cantus firmus in long note values (longas, breves, and semibreves), which declaim the text syllabically.
The cantus firmus is probably based on plainsong which has not been found. In direct contrast to the lowest voice, the two upper parts unite in a melismatic style which produces parallel thirds and sixths, and they often cadence together.
Only suggestions of imitation are observed at certain phrase beginnings in the superius and tenor.

59 Heinrich Glarean, Dodecachordon, translation, tran- scription, and commentary by Clement A. Miller (Rome, 1965), II, 327. 6 OIbid., p. 252. 89
Tristis est anima mea (no. 8) is an interesting composi-
tion, exhibiting more imitation than normally found in the
other song motets. The contra again provides the long-note
cantus firmus in short phrases interspersed with periods of
rest. In contrast, the superius and tenor contain rounded,
more melodic phrases with melismas and few rests. Imitations
between the two upper voices are quite frequent: Cf. tenor,
m. 1ff. with superius, m. 3ff.; superius, m. 18ff. with
tenor, m. 20ff.; tenor, m. 25ff. with superius, m. 26ff.
Only at one point, however, is the contra brought into the
imitative scheme: Cf. tenor, m. 38ff. with contra, m. 40ff.
Josquin's Pauper sum ego (no. 11) is characterized by a
melismatic duet between superius and tenor and a slow-moving
contra punctuated by rests. The most fascinating aspect of
the piece is the structure of the contra, which repeats the
cadence-formula of Psalm tone VIII as a transposing ostinato.
The pattern begins on a and descends to e stepwise (m. 4-8);
it then is employed sequentially so that the starting note
of each succeeding pattern is the next lower pitch of the
original ostinato: E to d, m. 11-15; f to c, m. 18-22; e to
B, m. 25-29; d to A, m. 32 to 36. The final pattern is a
repetition of the original a to e ostinato (m. 39-43).
Picker notes that "the final melodic phrase exhibits Josquin's acute sense of climax; it insistently repeats the tones of
the descending tetrachord c"-g' in the superius, increasing 90
tension by constantly shifting accents, and unexpectedly
descends to e', then skips upward to c" (m. 40) to reach a
climax on d" (m. 42)."61 Overall, the work employs sporadic
imitation and an abstract melodic style not conducive to
good text declamation.6 2
Dulcis amica dei (no. 34), like Parce Domine (no. 4),
exists in an original three-voice setting as well as later
four-part versions with added alti. Our three-voice setting, a favorite in its day, is found in five other manuscripts of
which Cambridge 1760 attributes the piece to Prioris. Each
of three diverse four-part settings includes our three voices with a different altus (see Concordance). The four- voice work in Cambrai, Bibliotheque de la Ville, MS 124
(125-128), f. 133', is one measure longer than our piece: at the end of the first text line a ligature of breve and longa is given in Cambrai 124, whereas London Add. 35087 has breve, breve.
Unlike the foregoing works in this genre, Dulcis amica dei places the cantus firmus in the superius.6 3 Rokseth thinks that this melody may have been a hymn tune which has disappeared from the Catholic liturgy.64 Its simple,

6Rokseth, Treize motets et un prelude, p. ix.
64 Ibid., p. xiv. 91
straightforward style within a narrow range lends itself well
to a note-against-note accompaniment in the two lower voices.
In many respects the work resembles Prioris' secular Consummo
la mia vita (no. 17): it is in chordal, syllabic style with
little imitation; there is a preponderance of long note
values (breves and semibreves); and the end of each line of
text is made very clear by a corona marking the cadence.
Rokseth further opines that in spite of its simple style our
song motet was a late work, composed between 1470 and the end
of the century for the following reasons: the brief outline
of imitation in all voices at the beginning; the dissonance made through retardation of the tenor in measures 20-21; and the shape of the final cadence in the Lydian mode with B flat
in the signature.65
Latin Motets
Our manuscript also includes five extended motets in which the cantus firmus is more fully developed in all voices through imitation (nos. 12, 38, 39, 44, and 53). Sancta
Maria piarum piisima (no. 39) is the longest work in London
Add. 35087 (109 measures). Imitation abounds throughout.
At the beginning the cantus firmus appears in the contra
(m. 1ff.), followed by tenor (m. 3ff.) and superius (m. 7ff.) in imitation. The long notes of the initial phrase (breves and semibreves) are in direct contrast to the more florid
65Ibid., p. xv. 92
lines in minims and semiminims observed further on in the
piece (m. 15ff.). Other phrase beginnings contain imitation:
Cf. tenor, m. 23f. with contra, m. 23ff. and superius,
m. 24ff.; contra, m. 30ff. with superius, m. 31ff.; contra,
m. 34ff. with tenor, m. 35ff. and superius, m. 36ff.; superius,
m. 46ff. with tenor, m. 48ff. and contra, m. 50ff. Often
parallel tenths occur within the imitative framework between
superius and contra: Cf. 13ff., 40f., 72ff., and 83ff. Thus,
there appears to be an alternation between a well organized
imitative structure and a simple harmonic style. A cross-
rhythm is formed between the tenor and the outer voices in measures 57-58 through the combination of duple and triple meters.
The four-voice Salve mater Salvatoris (no. 44) by Mouton
employs canon by inversion between the bassus and altus. A
signum over the fourth note in the contra along with the in-
struction "Canon Qui se exaltat humiliabit(ur)" signals the
entrance of the altus. Glarean includes the work in his
Dodecachordon; he discusses it as follows:
He [Mouton) has arranged the bass . . . so that one may sing the alto no less from the bass voice, if one takes a position on the opposite side, and also uses the same notes, but as they face one. Thus, from one melody two may sing each his own melody. And in this way they accompany themselves at the distance of an octave and of two tempora, so that the bass may begin on large D [d, the alto on small d [d'J after two temporal, and moreover

CONCORDANCE
In the following Concordance the French, Italian, and
Latin compositions of London Add. 35087 are listed in the
order in which they occur in the manuscript and are numbered accordingly. Following the number and textual incipit of
each composition, the composer's name as shown in the manu-
script above the superius is indicated; if the composer is not named, the term "Anon." is inserted. Next, the folia-
tion of the composition is given in an abbreviated form;
for example, "f. 21'-22" denotes the location of a composi-
tion on folios 21 verso and 22 recto of the manuscript.
Since all the compositions are written in three voice-parts,
no indication of this fact is made. The addition of a
fourth, canonic voice to nos. 24, 33, and 44 is explained in
the concordance on each piece.
All sources containing any composition similar to any
in the manuscript are listed next alphabetically in the fol-
lowing order: Manuscripts, Early Printed Collections, Modern
Editions, Monophonic Versions, and Related Compositions.
Sources are referred to by abbreviations found in the List
of Sources.
The first line of each entry will include the abbrevia-
tion of the source, the abbreviation of the foliation or
114 115 pagination, and the composer's name; if no name is shown in
the source, then "Anon." is inserted. Next, the amount of
text is indicated along with the number of voice-parts. The
term "text" is employed to signify the presence of either
full or refrain text. If an incipit is found in a voice-part
in place of full or refrain text, it is listed in the Con-
cordance as it is shown in the manuscript. If an incipit is
found in more than one part, the best spelling is selected
to represent the multiple entries. When no text accompanies
a composition, no further information will follow the first
line entry.
Monophonic sources, which provide the cantus firmi for
many of the manuscript's compositions, are recorded next.
Compositions in the sources that contain one or more
voices related musically or textually to a London Add. 35087
composition are listed under the heading of related composi-
tions. Explanations are presented regarding the similarity
of these pieces to those of the manuscript.
Footnotes indicate the sources for Latin texts and
Gregorian melodies used as cantus firmi of the various motets.
Voice classifications found in the sources are set down
in this Concordance. Thus, superius and discant are used
interchangeably to indicate the highest voice-part. Contra,
bassus, and baricanor represent the lowest voice, and tenor,
secundus tenor, altus, and vagans indicate various inner
voices. 116

This important setting of the "Fors seulement"
text contains two cantus firmi associated with many
other arrangements of the text. The "new" cantus
firmus enters in the tenor following the statement
of Ockeghem's contra in the superius of an opening
duo between superius and contra. This work serves 161
as an important link between those settings employing
Ockeghem's melody and those which carry the "new"
cantus firmus. "Fors seulement" texts are found in
the following:

VARIANTS IN THE MUSICAL READINGS
The data compiled in this chapter comprise a list of musical variants found through the comparison of each French,
Italian, and Latin composition in London Add. 35087 with a reliable reading of the same work from another manuscript and/or early printed, collection.
The variant readings were selected either because they contained corrections of errors in London Add. 35087 or be- cause they contained as complete a version of the text as could be found. Purely literary sources are not recorded, since it can be assumed that they carry complete texts. When a fourth voice is encountered, this part is included in its entirety.
Two readings were chosen for each composition whenever possible. One will notice that the Concordance may give only one source for a composition or perhaps none; musical vari- ants are then taken from the one source available or none are given. An attempt has been made to utilize as many dif- ferent manuscripts and early printed collections as possible.
Sources are cited by the abbreviations given in the
List of Sources. Voice classifications as shown in these manuscripts and early printed collections are referred to by
180 181 the following abbreviations:
S = Superius CT = Contratenor
D = Discantus B = Bassus
A = Altus Bar = Baricanor
C = Contra
The following abbreviations are employed for the listing of variants:
m = measure sbr = semibreve
mx = maxima min = minim
1 = longa smin = semiminim
br = breve
These abbreviations, coupled with numbers which indicate the measure and beat, designate the exact location of variants.
For example, "m5:1, A sbr, G min, F, E smin" signifies that the variant begins on the first beat of the fifth measure and continues as long as the succeeding note values indicate:
A semibreve, G minim, F and E semiminims. A variant be- ginning on the second half of a beat is shown in a similar manner; for example, "m5:1:2, E smin" signifies that E semi- minim is given on the second half of the first beat of the fifth measure.
Ligatures and minor color are not listed except when they show some variation in pitches or note values.
