C02 Beata progenies
https://www.motetcycles.ch/cycle/399
The cycle consists of three motets, whose texts are variously associated with Marian feasts (notably the Nativity of the BVM).
WARD 1986 listed the first two motets of this cycle (cited only by their foliation, ff. 64v-66r) among the “possibile motetti missales cycles in the Gafurius codices” (p. 523, footnote 56). GASSER 2001 was the first to propose a larger, three-motet cycle. As the same author admits, however, the third motet has a different tonal type (p. 347). While this “may seem to throw out the possibility of a unified, tri-partite cycle”, Gasser observes that all three motets “share the same hexachordal identity of cantus mollis” and feature “similar musical techniques and a consistent approach to composition, including some potential thematic connections” (ibid.).
