Guillaume de Machaut - Kyrie I & III, Messe de Nostre Dame, Machaut MS ‘A,’ (ca. 1375) (Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, MS fr. 1584) [Note that the first ligature in the top voice is written incorrectly: it should have a tail on the final note to indicate that it is a long; that is, it should end like the first ligature on the next line, but without the dot, since the long thus indicated will be imperfected by the two semibreves in the next ligature, whereas the long in the ligature at the beginning of the second line is perfect.] |
