Bassus. Huitieme livre de pseaumes de David mis en musique a quatre parties en forme de motetz par Claude Goudimel.
A 1566 Paris part-book of four-voice motets setting David's Psalms by Claude Goudimel, printed by Robert Ballard for choir singers and the bass part. The pictures show open music pages with large decorated initial letters, staves of black square-headed notes with Latin and French text beneath, and a title page framed by ornate strapwork and grotesque figures. A designer could draw on the dense typographic texture, the lettered initials, and the cartouche framing of the title page.
