This may be a stupid question, but is Aliénor de Bretagne the same as Aliénar d’Aquitaine? The former has a lovely recording by Laurence Bisset (De Caelis), the latter a lovely recording by Marcel Pérès (Ensemble Organum)

Anyway, De Profundis, even if not, you should check out both, they’re very good.

Thomas Forrest Kelly has written a very highly regarded book on musical notation, I haven’t read it but I know it has a CD by the US group Blue Heron, they sing a polyphonic piece by Petrus de Cruce, a macaronic motet, so I guess he’s discussed in the book. David Munrow recorded one of the motets with The Early Music Consort of London, I like it very much.
