O beata infantia - Piéton, Loyset

"Published by Attaingnant, Paris, 1534/5. Additional source: MS Capp. Sist. 24. Christmas motet. In the sources, so before the transposition applied in this edition, the work was scored with a key signature of two flats, with some ficta A flats also implied; after transposition, it looks less exotic."
