- Samenvatting:
- Brussels, Royal Library, MS 9126, is one of the most significant manuscripts for sacred polyphony from the first decade of the 16th century. It was produced in the workshops of Petrus Alamire, which is a guarantee for superb illustrations of excellent quality. This manuscript was intended as a special gift for Philip the Fair, and one of the miniatures is a unique portrait of the duke and Joan of Castile. The choirbook consists of works by composers who were directly associated with Philips court chapel, such as La Rue, Agricola and de Orto, who belonged to the chapel themselves, or by Josquin, for instance, who was then well known at the court: 3 masses and 4 motets by Josquin; 4 masses, 2 magnificats and 2 motets by La Rue; and a further 2 masses, a magnificat and 4 motets by Agricola, Barbireau and de Orto.
