Graduale (sanctorale only), 15th-16th century. Hufnagelschrift on ink staves. The front flyleaf bears the remark Liber presens est ecclesie xenodochij maioris civitatis busciducensis (= Groot Gasthuis in 's Hertogenbosch).
The names of the cantores have been written on the flyleaves (perhaps the book was used in St.-Janskerk); several feasts and sequences display a special devotion for Franciscus; many saints point towards the diocese of Luik.
The sequentiary starts on fol. 117r with Sacrosancta hodierna festivitate. Nevertheless some sequences are written in the Graduale-part. Among the sequences:
Theodardus: fol. 144r: Urbs legia leta plaude | |
Lambertus: fol. 145v: Christi laude predicemus | |
Maternus: fol 147v: Sion gaudens flore verna | |
Franciscus: fol. 152r: Letabundus francisco decantet; fol. 152v: Surgit victor; fol. 155r: Eructetur dulce melos | |
Triumphus Lamberti: fol. 158r: Letabundus laus beato | |
Martinus, fol. 167r: Sacerdotem christi martinum | |
Quattuor doctores, fol. 172v: Sancti visu columbino |
Some chants are written in rhythmicized notation:
fol. 104: Credo I | |
fol. 105v: Credo IV | |
fol. 91: another rhythmicized Credo | |
fol. 75r: sequentia Mittit ad virginem | |
fol. 115r: a Sanctus with trope Qui ianuas morte confregisti |
There are some 2 part troped Sanctus:
fols. 115v-116r: Sanctus O quam dulciter ... / Sic et nos laudemus ... / Tu qui solus facis ... | |
fols. 116v: Sanctus Ab eterno pater ... / Sanctus Incarnatus patris ... / Sanctus Ab utroque ... |
Besides the tropes mentioned above, there are:
fol. 114: Sanctus ... Osanna Angeli et Archangeli throni dominatusque celi te laudant cherubin et seraphin Sanctus Sanctus Sanctus in excelsis ... Osanna Tibi laus salus sit christe benedictus | |
fol. 177r: Kyrie Magne deus | |
ibidem: Kyrie Fons bonitatis | |
ibidem: Kyrie inclyte pater et rector virginis marie (rubric: De domina) |
Some Marian tropes are in the Kyriale cycles elsewhere in the manuscript
Fol. 62r: All. Vox exultacionis (ded. eccl.) is sung by the cantores, and interspersed with melisms sung by the choir.
