Textual Commentary
[edit | edit source]“Sy fortune mace bien purchase” appears in three voices in H. The piece is listed in the manuscript’s table of contents as the forty-first work. Stevens notes that it is probably Anglo-French (Stevens M&P 404) as well as the lack of connection between this song and those of similar titles (in the Buxheimer Organ-book or Oxford, Bodleian MS Canonici Misc. 213 [f. 109r]; MCH8 105#46).
This piece is reprinted in Stevens M&P (404) and Stevens MCH8 (37).
