The Conductus Collections of MS  Wolfenbüttel 1099, Part 3

The polyphonic conductus appeared in northern France in the late twelfth century and continued to flourish until the mid-thirteenth century as one of four main polyphonic genres of the time. The manuscript Wolfenbüttel 1099 (W2) is a significant source for these works. This edition includes modern transcriptions of the thirty conductus in the W2 fascicles, as well as ten contrafacta and ten alternate readings. All known manuscript versions of this important twelfth- and early-thirteenth-century repertory were consulted in the preparation of this edition.

Austro terris influente

Minor natu filius

Sursum corda elevate

Quod promisit ab eterno

Crucifigat omnes

Pater noster qui es in celis

Ave Maria, gratia plena

Transgressus legem domini

Fraude ceca desolato

Helysei manubrio

Ave gloriosa mater salvatoris

Verbum bonum et suave

Si Deus est animus

Notum fecit dominus

Rege mentem, et ordina

Regnum Dei vim patitur

Omni pene curie

Beata viscera Marie virginis

Entendez tuit ensemble

De la sainte Leocade
