General information

Title: Modulationes aliquot quatuor vocum selectissimae

Full title: Modulationes aliquot quatuor vocum selectissimae, quas vulgo modetas vocant, à praestantiss. Musicis compositae, iam primum typis excusae

Editor - Compiler: Johannes Petreius

Publication date and place: 1538 in Nuremberg by Johannes Petreius.
Description: A collection of motets for four voices. This volume contains sixteen works by French, Belgian, and German composers and was printed as four part books. As Petreius explains in his forward to the reader (dated the last day of August, 1538), he published this book while working on the second volume of Psalmorum selectorum, since that tome, which he had already promised, was taking longer than expected.
