Jaque de Cambrai (fl.c.1260-80) had been a rather obscure figure. This is the first attempt to perform his devotional songs from the Bern Manuscript (of trouvère repertory) as a cycle.

Another recording from a manuscript associated with a confraternity:

Missa Transfigurationis
Libellus confraternitatis Transfigurationis Domini in ecclesia Tornacensi
Tournai, XVe - XVIe siècles
Psallentes - Hendrik Vanden Abeele
Musique en Wallonie 1576
