Commentary
Intabulation of the “Agnus Dei” from the six-voice “Missa Si bona suscepimus” by Jacquet of Mantua. Fuenllana’s rubric explains that it “has two voices in a canon in unison; one of them is written in mensural notation, the other is in tablature in red ink, because singing both of them the canon can be enjoyed. Pitch the voice to the second [course], third fret.”
As well as the 1542 print listed under intabulations, the mass is also found in I-Rvat MS Capp. Sist. 13, fols. 97v-100. There is no modern edition of this mass.
