This volume brings to a conclusion a series devoted to Masses and associated pieces composed by Robert Fayrfax, also featured in EECM volumes 43 and 45. It includes Fayrfax's well-known Masses Regali and Albanus, as well as a reconstruction of his fragmentary, possibly nuptial, Mass Sponsus amat sponsam. Although some of the manuscript sources were copied many years later, these works date collectively from the years immediately preceding and following the turn of the sixteenth century, and as the editor demonstrates in his introduction, they show the composer's mastery of largescale proportional planning.

The first volume of several to be devoted to Latin church music by composers of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, EC43 contains all that survives of Fayrfax's O bone Iesu trilogy. From the material shared between the Mass and antiphon (an early example of English parody technique) it has been possible to reconstruct part of the latter, of which only the mean survives. In addition, the Appendix contains the conclusion of a fragmentary composition from the Jena Choirbook, which may also be the work of Fayrfax.

Both large-scale masses by Robert Fayrfax included in this volume are believed to be late works. O quam glorifica, in particular, was composed in 1511 for his supplication for the degree of Doctor of Music at Oxford, and in it the composer comprehensively explores the possibilities of extended structural planning. A feature of this edition is the restoration of the metrical character of the original, distorted in all surviving copies. Probably predating O quam glorifica, Tecum principium exhibits a simpler form, and is remarkable for the stylistic feature of unprepared dissonant fourths in the final section of the Agnus dei.
