The Libro primo de la croce stands at a crucial position in the transition from the late frottola to the early madrigal. Including works by Sebastian Festa, Marchetto Cara, Francesco Patavino, and Fra Ruffino, the music of the Libro primo de la croce best represents the contradictory, almost paradoxical, trends in the frottola during its final decade.  "Prizer's useful and thoughtfully-executed edition has been handsomely produced to make a volume exemplary in its satisfaction of scholarly and practical criteria." Iain Fenlon, Early Music, January 1980.
