Isaac is credited with carrying the style to Germany, being appointed court composer to Maximilian I in 1496. Of course Obrecht died in Ferrara. De La Rue is another French composer appearing in this anthology.

Despite several secular works, including untexted selections from Obrecht, the emphasis here is certainly on the larger Latin works.
