    Three people want to sing this on the First Sunday of Advent. Is anyone familiar with where to find the music featured in the recording?

    Here you are. See "Ex Codicis Tridentinis I" at the bottom of
    Mitchell Trent editions at DIAMM

    Are you certain this is by Guillame Dufay? I do not think you have given me the correct music that matches the audio recording in the initial linked page.

    The music doesn't seem to match the recording - but both are gloriosus!

    Sorry about that, I looked on the DIAMM DuFay Opera Omnia page (which is a work in progress and does not have the Mittit ... ) and saw the Mitchell Trent editions page, mistakenly thinking it was for DuFay as well.

    The "Mittit ad virginem" I gave above is from the Trent Codices Tr91, and I agree with MJO that it is a fine work, apparently anonymous.

    Upon further search, I found that a setting attributed to DuFay in Tr92, leaves 069v, 070r, and 070v, digitizations at Trentino Cultura. The digitization is not that easy to read, and I have yet to find it transcribed, but it is exactly the work that is on the recording above.
