Vincenet: The Collected Works

This edition of four settings of the Ordinary of the mass and four secular songs—works that were previously unavailable in a modern edition—provides a new repertory of quattrocento polyphony. The introduction examines archival documents for biographical details on Vincenet, who may have been a singer in the Papal Choir or a cantor for the Spanish king at his court in Naples. Two secular songs by Bruolo and Touront, the models for two of the masses, are appended to the edition to allow study of Vincenet’s parody technique.

Masses:

Sine nomine

Eterne rex altissime

Entrepris suis par grant lyesse

O gloriosa regina mundi

 

Songs:

Villancico, "La pena sin ser sabida"

Rondeau, "Triste qui spero morendo"

Rondeau, "Ou doy je secours querir"

Rondeau, "Fortune, par ta cruaulté"
