Adieu m’amour, adieu ma joye
O generosa nata David
O gloriosa regina mundi
Mais que ce fut secretement
O castitatis lilium
O florens rosa
Fors seulement
O gloriosa regina mundi in varia prolationes species
Maginifcat Quarti Toni
Mon oil lamente
Missa Mon oil

Tonrroutt, Thauranth, Tauront, Taurath, Torenth... few composers have had their names mangled by scribes so badly as the protagonist of this recording. The identity of the composer behind these variants has long remained shrouded in mystery. It is known that a certain Johannes Tourout was cantor in the chapel of Emperor Frederick III of Habsburg. The composer must have been very popular in Central Europe: a large number of his works can be found in important manuscripts from that region. Given the stupendous craftsmanship evident in his compositions, it is surprising that modern musicians have not paid greater attention to them.
