Catalogue Note
De toutes les éditions d'époque de Gombert, un seul livre (une partie séparée, première édition de 1539) est passé en vente publique depuis la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. En bibliothèques, le RISM compte seulement deux jeux complets de la présente édition en-dehors de l'Italie.
Nicolas Gombert était "l'un des trois compositeurs de musique polyphonique sacrée les plus importants durant la période délimitée par Josquin et Lassus" (G. Reese, Music in the Renaissance, 1959, p.343).
Rare:We can trace only a single record of any contemporary editions of Gombert appearing at auction since the Second World War (a single part-book from the first edition of 1539). In libraries, RISM lists only two complete sets of the present edition outside Italy.
Nicolas Gombert was "one of the three most important composers of sacred polyphony in the period between Josquin and Lassus" (G. Reese, Music in the Renaissance, 1959, p.343).
