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.
