In a composite manuscript ascribed to the Burgundian court, a mass each by Richard Cox and John Plummer, with three such works by Walter Frye, survive alongside a pair of Dufay masses and all but one of the surviving motets of Busnois. The strong political and cultural association between England and Burgundy at the time explains their presence, as does the varied and masterful style - held in high regard by continental contemporaries.

The publication of the fragments known as the 'York Masses' offers a prime opportunity for re-evaluating the wider context of English polyphonic Mass composition in the final decades of the fifteenth century. This source stands out as the only extended collection devoted entirely to music for the Mass Ordinary, and as such it provides a significant example of developments after the Brussels Masses. It can also suggest important correctives to the traditional historiographical idea of insular conservatism in Mass composition. The volume contains four Kyries, including Horwod's O rex clemens, two each of Gloria-Credo and Sanctus-Agnus pairs, the Missa Venit dilectus meus attributed to Johannes Cuk, and a Gloria-Credo a 3.
