All of the music on this program is from the series on the Ricercar label examining the first great generation of Franco-Flemish composers who dominate the musical life of Europe for more than two centuries beginning in the late 14th century. The performance features a number of Flemish ensembles: the Capilla Flamenca, directed by Dirk Snellings, Psallentes under the direction of Hendrik Vanden Abeele, and the Clari Cantuli, directed by Ria Vanwing.
The CD number is RIC 207.

The primary work on the recording is by Arnoldus de Lantins (d. 1432), who was from Liege and joined a number of singer/composers from that area in a chapel assembled by Bishop Pandolpho Malatesta in Pesaro. He was known to be in the Papal chapel in Rome by 1431.
LANTINS: Missa verbum incarnatum ("The word made flesh"--for Christmastide).
The chant material is from a Gradual preserved in the Treasury of the Collegiate Church in Tongres; it dates from the end of the 14th century:
--Introit: Gaudeamus.
--Epistola: Dominus possedit me.
--Graduale: Benedicta et venerabilis.
--Sequence: Letabundus fidelis chorus in Maria.
--Evangelium: Liber generationis.
--Offertorium: Felix namque.
--Communio: Regina mundi.
--Ite missa est.
Two other composers are represented from Lantins' circle:
JOHANNES BRASSART (c. 1400--1455):
--Ave Maria/O Maria.
--Regina coeli.
JOHANNES CESARIS (?late 14th c.--?1460):
--A virtutis ignitio/Ergo beata nascio.
