The publication of the fragments known as the 'York Masses' offers a prime opportunity for re-evaluating the wider context of English polyphonic Mass composition in the final decades of the fifteenth century. This source stands out as the only extended collection devoted entirely to music for the Mass Ordinary, and as such it provides a significant example of developments after the Brussels Masses. It can also suggest important correctives to the traditional historiographical idea of insular conservatism in Mass composition. The volume contains four Kyries, including Horwod's O rex clemens, two each of Gloria-Credo and Sanctus-Agnus pairs, the Missa Venit dilectus meus attributed to Johannes Cuk, and a Gloria-Credo a 3.

Comp lemented by Professor Strohm's facsimile edition of the entire source by the University of Chicago Press, the publication of eight Mass settings from the Lucca Choirbook is a signal contribution to our understanding of the dissemination of English music in fifteenth-century Europe. Only two are ascribed, to Walter Frye and Henricus Tik, but the insular provenance of the music is confirmed on grounds of style, repertoire and performance procedure. None of the Masses is preserved complete, but three are unica, and three others have been completed from concordances reflecting the significant influence of native-born composers on European music at this time.

The majority of pieces in this volume show a strong melodic and rhythmic independence of voice, close in style to the contemporary French chanson; but there are also examples of pieces in the simpler, homorhythmic idiom of English descant. Votive antiphon and votive mass, or lady mass, were the main forms employed in the important early 15th-century repertoire of devotional and liturgical music for household use.

Engl ish composers in the first half of the 15th-century created the unified mass cycle, and even though most of the repertoire is anonymous, a distinctly 'national' style can be recognised. The four works in this volume were probably composed between 1420 and 1440, and each possesses a long, troped Kyrie of a kind not found in continental sources.

In a composite manuscript ascribed to the Burgundian court, a mass each by Richard Cox and John Plummer, with three such works by Walter Frye, survive alongside a pair of Dufay masses and all but one of the surviving motets of Busnois. The strong political and cultural association between England and Burgundy at the time explains their presence, as does the varied and masterful style - held in high regard by continental contemporaries.
