Description

Only ascription "Okeghem" in Trin amongst musical sources, but also quoted by Tinctoris as an example of varietas. Its inclusion in ms. Tr93 on paper dated 1454 makes it the oldest datable song of Okeghem. Fallows suggested that the poem might be by Chartier because of its localisation Roh. O'Sullivan notes that the words "d'estre sans per" can remind of the locution "d'une sans per" which he found in 2 poems by Jean de Bourbon, including Allez regretz. He thus proposes that the song might be a setting of a poem written by the young Jean when Okeghem served in the Bourbon chapel around 1448 (O'Sullivan 2024, p. 141).
The text itself, and the text underlay raise several problems discussed by D. Fallows and R. O'Sullivan.
