Missa Puis que je vis (Dufay?)

Cappella Sistina Ms. 14 contains a marvellous mass that could very well be by Dufay. The rich harmonies and elegant duets clearly speak in his favour.

The model was the tenor from the chanson ‘Puis que je vis le regard gracieux’ – transmitted several times and unfortunately anonymously. The treatment of the tenor in the mass is very free and remarkable.

There is a very fine recording with the Binchois Consort on hyperion.
