Meslanges de la musique de Clau. Le Jeune a 4. 5. 6. 8. & 10. parties. Bassus.
A 1587 Paris part-book of polyphonic French chansons by Claude Le Jeune, published by Adrian Le Roy for singers performing the bass line. Its pages show printed staff notation with text set beneath the notes, each opening with an ornate decorated initial letter. A designer might take the historic typography, the calligraphic initials and the dense spacing of staves and lyrics as models for vintage music layouts.
