[2] Summers, William John: The Repertory of Three-Voice Music Notated in Score from Fourteenth-Century England: English Discant and Free Settings (2 vols., Ph.D. dissertation, University of California, Santa Barbara, 1978), especially pp.65–277 Google Scholar, where an inventory of voice ranges is supplied for all the then known three-voice settings. One might like to examine, for example, just two works not mentioned by Bowers that deviate significantly from his general rules for voice-range: the Deo gratias on f.4v of Durham Cathedral Library C.I.20, where the lowest voice drops to G and extends well beyond an octave above; and the Gloria Spiritus et alme from Durham Cathedral, Dean and Chapter Muniments, Communars Cartulary, flyleaf, which has two lower voices with exceptionally wide ranges. These examples are not totally isolated, and should have been dealt with as significant works within the three-voice repertory.
