Leenia,
This may save you some time. If you want to research the actual notation of the pink album you can go to the following site:IMSLP / Petrucci Music Library--
The free public domain music library.
Link = http://www.imslp.org/wiki/Main_Page
I downloaded the SATB for the "Musique de joye" which contains the Jacques Moderne works that start side 1 of the pink album.
Go to the main page.
Browse scores (on the left) and select "composer period".
Select "renaissance".
Select "Moderne, Jacques".
Select "Musicque de Joye (Moderne, Jacques" (the only option).
Download the files.
The 3 Branle de bourgoigne are (start from the numbers at the back) 17, 18, 24 and the Branle gay nouveau is # 27. Start from the back because the work appears to be in two numbered parts.
Number 17 is the unmistakable first cut on the pink album. I was somewhat verklempt to see it notated for the first time after loving it for 40 years. The clefs are tough but seem to be easy to figure out. (I think)
I have played the superius and bass starting on "D" and it seems to work--but I am not a renaissance clef expert.
I will try to find some of the other selections on this site.
Have fun!
