Martin Peudargent (c. 1525/30-d. after 1587): Libertas Christiana (SAATB) [Liber primus sacrarum cantionum, 1555]

Martin Peudargent (c. 1525/30-d. after 1587) was a Flemish composer in the service of the Duke of Kleve as Kapellmeister. In his first work, the Liber primus sacrarum cantionum, published in Dusseldorf in 1555, he referred to himself as ‘musicus’ in the court of Duke Wilhelm V of Jülich-Kleve-Berg in Düsseldorf.

Libertas Christiana (SAATB) is the third motet in the Liber primus sacrarum cantionum and has a very unusual text:

Libertas Christiana tandem licentiam non Christianam devincet, libertas Christiana nos ad superos vehet, licentia vero non Christiana ad inferos demerget, fruamur igitur Christo auspice libertate spiritus, fruamur deliciis Paracleti et a servitute carnis peccati et diaboli abstineamus, ne regnet in nobis peccatum et inferorum servitus. Alleluia.
