Source of pieces in Choralis Constantinus II: Both pieces probably copied from RISM 1545⁵ or a copy of it. They form part of an Isaac group in which a Kyrie and Gloria separate the introit and alleluia. See also D-D MS MUS I/E/24.

Choralis Constantinus II contents:

• Mass 1
  • Introit-Puer natus (no. 23)
  • Alleluia-Dies sanctificatus (no. 25)

Character of variants in Choralis Constantinus II repertoire: The introit combines the antiphon section from Choralis Constantinus II with the verse from another setting of the same introit by Isaac in RISM 1545⁵ (D-p. LVII; A-p. LXVIII; T-p. LXV; B-p. LIX). The antiphon shares a distinctive pitch variant with the version in RISM 1545⁵.
