Description: Many sources of this work pre-date Attaingnant's 1534 collection, suggesting that Richafort might have composed it while serving in the French Royal Chapel in the 1510s. The marking Mon souvenir in Attaingnant's Superius partbook acknowledges Richafort's having employed the Tenor line of Mon souvenir me fait mourir by Hayne van Ghizeghem, a prolific chanson composer of the late 15th century. The only other known setting, by Jacquet of Mantua (1483–1559), also appears in the Rusconi Codex and is based on the same chanson.
