Toelichting:
The Bavarian State Library (Bayerische Staats Bibliothek in Munich, Germany) has a unique collection of large folio format choirbooks from the Bavarian court music ensemble, predominantly from the time of Orlando di Lasso serving as court music director. Several splendidly illustrated choir books originally belonged to the personal collection of the Bavarian dukes. The most beautiful one is the collection of motets by Cipriano de Rore for Duke Albrecht V, also available at Donemus. Choirbooks have all the parts on two facing pages, in contrast to the separate books for each voice that we see mostly in Renaissance editions. So a page turn had to come at the same moment for all the voices.
The original choirbook this bundle is taken from consists of a number of motets, 6 of which were composed by Clemens non Papa and have been transcribed earlier and are being published by Donemus.
In this bundle there is another motet by Clemens (Ierusalem), 5 or 6 motets by Ludwig Daser and some by other composers like Ludwig Senfl (the psalm In exitu Israel), and Anthonius Bhoris, a name that is unknown to me. Nevertheless his work Beati omnes in this book is very attractive. It is obviously 16th century and of the same school as Senfl and Daser.
Then there is a Confiteor without a composer mentioned in the original source. To me it sounds like Jean Mouton (c.1459-1522). The text setting is unmistakably French.
Remarkable however is the different hand that has written the Confiteor, compared to the rest of the choirbook. Was it added later?
The first work in this book is a Passion based on the 4 canonic Gospels. Although there is no composer mentioned, I am rather sure it is written by Ludwig Daser. The two arguments for this are the presence in this choirbook with many more works by Daser, and the mentioning in literature of Daser having written a Passion on texts from the 4 canonic gospels. There is no composer to my humble knowledge that has performed the same piece of art.
