Description: A motet by a composer who died young, and few of whose works have survived. Intriguingly, the Italian theorist Giovanni Lanfranco mentioned him in the same breath as Willaert, Festa and Jacquet of Mantua, suggesting that he was highly thought of and also that, like those others, he may have worked in Italy for a time, although beginning and ending his life in France. This is a very consonant work and, despite some contrasts (notably one homophonic passage contrasting with the otherwise more contrapuntal texture), I am not sure that its inventiveness is of the very highest order, although others may now judge that for themselves.
