Tenor. Huitieme livre de pseaumes de David mis en musique a quatre parties en forme de motetz par Claude Goudimel.
This is a 1566 Paris part-book of four-voice psalm motets by Claude Goudimel, printed by Adrian Le Roy for singers of the tenor part. The first picture is a decorative ornamental panel with a grotesque mask, cherubs and swags, while the second shows a historiated initial beside staves of black-note music with a dense italic text underlay, offering a designer clear models of Renaissance letterpress hierarchy, ornament and musical notation layout.
