Jacobus Barbireau (c.1455-1491) - A discography

This discography is presently in a preliminary state. It is believed to contain a substantial percentage of an eventual full listing, but has not been scoured for completeness or organized into sections based on individual works. It should prove informative nonetheless.

Note that the vast majority of these citations are for the song Een vroylic wesen (& various other spellings), and that this is also the most likely item to be under reported here, as it was previously misattributed.... (Note further that Barbireau was once confused with Barbingant, and so some citations for the latter have been omitted here.)

Discographic material below has been collected to this stage with substantial help from Pierre-F. Roberge.
