Composition? edit

The article currently speaks of "settings of the four passions, Liber in quo quatuor passiones Christi Domini 1604". However, the piece shown in the new image of this book, File:Quatuor Passiones Christi.jpg, doesn't really count as a musical "setting". As far as I can see these pages show some very simple, traditional plainchant, i.e. merely a spelled-out version of the gospel as sung in its conventional reciting tone. A "setting", i.e. an original composition, in the early 17th century context, would at least imply some polyphony. Fut.Perf. 12:38, 14 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
