Preces ecclesiasticae ad numeros musices redactae. Authore Eustachio Du Caurroy, Regiae Capellae musices praefecto.Reginae Margaretae dicatae. Liber secundus. Sexta pars
A 1609 Paris printed collection of sacred choral music (motets) by Eustache Du Caurroy, director of the royal chapel, dedicated to Queen Margaret and published by Pierre Ballard. The pages pair large decorative initial letters with square-note polyphonic staves and Latin text beneath them. A designer could take the cast of ornamental capitals framed by foliage and the tidy alignment of music notation with lyrics.
