Philippe de Vitry’s Petre Clemens/ Lugentium Siccentur. 

Any time I see a French medieval composer, I am sure to like the music. But then again, I am a fanatic for anything to do with the French language. 

Late last year, I was introduced to medieval composers from France whom I had not heard of before (my knowledge being limited to Guillaume de Machaut, Gilles Binchois, and Philippe de Vitry). 

I find music from this era particularly suitable for long writing periods, so if you are a writer, consider returning to the Middle Ages!

The pure sound of the French Middle Ages, as epitomised by Philippe de Vitry. Here is Tribum, que non abhorruit/quonam secta latronum/merito hec patimur.
