Guillaume Dufay - Vergene bella
Unicorn Ensemble
Bernard Landauer

The lauda was a type of vernacular, monodic sacred song—monk meets troubadour, if you will—which was popular in the early 15th Century in Italy at the time when Guillaume Dufay was probably the most respected composer in Europe. His Vergene bella is a setting of a poem by Petrarch. 

(April plate, from Les très riches heures du Duc de Berry)
