Brief Commentary:

* This listing is taken from the Kyrie. Févin's Missa de feria is a canonic mass in which one voice is realized from written instruction. This occurs for all five-part sections and the à 6 Agnus [III]. However, in both the JenaU 4 and JenaU 2 transmissions (ff. 66v-67r & 33v-36r respectively), for example, all voices of the Kyrie are fully written out. The following table lists the remaining sections of the mass with canonic directions.

Canons in the JenaU 4 transmission of Févin's Missa de feria:

In the 's HerAB 72A transmission (ff. 38v-41r) the Kyrie is also transmitted with canonic indicators as follows: Kyrie [I]- contratenor (4th above), Christe- tenor (octave above), Kyrie [II]- tenor (5th below).
