Attribution

The concordant motet M101 is attributed to "Loyset" in I-Mfd 1.

Description

This hybrid cycle consists of a Sanctus (without Benedictus) preceded and followed by a motet. The texts derive from liturgical items associated with Advent and Christmas.

Modern Editions

CMM 15.4 (O admirabile commercium); AMMM 13, 151-156 (O admirabile commercium); AMMM 6, 12-16 (Sanctus, from I-Mfd 2)

Notes

All movements have concordances elsewhere in the Libroni (for the Sanctus, see I-Mfd 2, ff. 35v-36r); therefore, it is possible to access the full score of the cycle in spite of the damaged state of the reference source (notice, however, the reworkings pointed out by WARD 1986, 512-515, and see the further notes to M103).

WARD 1986, 506, 508-515 proposes and discusses the reconstruction of a “virtual” five-movement cycle including two additional motets from I-Mfd 1, ff. 149v-151r.

Reference Source

I-Mfd [4], ff. 65v-68r
