Commentary
Literal transcription with ornamented cadences of a chanson by Clemens non Papa. The authorship of this piece is sometimes mistakenly attributed to Crecquillon on the basis of his Missa Je prens en gre, but most scholarly opinion points to Jacobus Clemens non Papa as being the composer. This work was popular among 16th-century instrumentalists. It was arranged for keyboard by Venegas de Henestrosa (angles1944, 197-198) and Cabezón (fol. 70v and 72v, the latter being a glosa by Hernando de Cabezón).
