Subject: RE: Piae Cantiones, 1582 Songbook
Thanks to Neale and Helmore, many of these tunes and in some cases translated texts are in the hymn books we currently news. Not listed in Joe's link, unless I have missed it, is Divinum Mysterium. Neale set this to his translation of a much earlier poem by Prudentius, which became the fairly well known Christmas Carol "Of the father's love begotten". And of course the list in Joes link contains one top 10 and one top 20 hit.
