This interpretation takes into account the recent determination that what was once called Dufay's Missa Sine Nomine is actually based on his ballade Resvellies vous. In this setting, the Credo is the simplest section, and actually omitted from some previous interpretations.

The fairly technical discussion of the construction of the masses in the liner notes can be broadly informative.
