"The Codex Speciálník is a large anthology of polyphony that flourished in Bohemia from the 14th century onwards. The selection here is arranged broadly in chronological order, but with some concession to textual considerations. Like the Codex itself, it is probably best dipped into rather than swallowed whole. To take the oldest pieces first, these can be described as the remnants of the Czech Ars Antiqua and Ars Nova. The Codex contains some 50 pieces whose roots reach back to around 1300, corresponding to compositions found in dozens of 14th to 16th century sources in western Europe. The most striking renaissance features are to be found in the works of Petrus Wilhelmi de Grudencz, the Master of Krakov University, who spent some time in Bohemia on his way back to Silesia from travels in southern Germany and Austria. Two of the pieces performed here are 'rotuli', or rounds, which in later sources were treated as multiple-texted motets. All four contain the composer's name in an acrostic (spectacularly so in the case of track 13, which manages to fit in the whole thing)".

"There are some 150 renaissance compositions in the manuscript, and only about one third of these are by composers who can be identified. We know nothing of the two Czechs, Tomek and Gontrášek, and pieces originating from within the local congregations carry the collective designation 'sociorum'- by members or comrades. Many of the anonymous works are based on Czech melodies current at the time (7, 15 and 23). Equally interesting are the imported compositions attributed to 30 foremost European musicians, among them the Englishmen Bedyngham, Frye, Morton and Plummer, and the Franco-Flemish composers Barbireau, Basiron, Compère, Isaac, Obrecht, Agricola, Tinctoris and Josquin. Eight pieces by Johannes Touront suggest that this composer spent some time in the Czech lands. The Codex also contains a number of secular chansons that the Prague brethren furnished with sacred Latin texts, though it is not clear why they should have felt it necessary to replace the Marian text of the Johannes Aulen motet with the involved rhetoric of Terrigenarurrz plasmator (14). We are still searching for the author of the remarkable Missa Petite Camusette, based on the famous chanson by Ockeghem. There is no Agnus Dei according to the Utraquist rite, but why the 'crucifixus' section has been omitted from the Credo remains a mystery". Jaromír Černý
