Musique de la Renaissance Music - L'Europe Musicale au XVe et XVIe

An excellent selection of the chansons which gained great fame for Pierre Certon (d.1572), composer for the Royal Chapel in Paris, accompanied by a mass setting. The monophonic tune which serves as the basis for the mass is not the same as the one commonly known today.
