== Magister Albertus's Extant Works? ==

There is a contradiction between what is stated in the article and what is stated on a site referred to, the French Encyclopédie Larousse http://www.larousse.fr/encyclopedie/musdico/Albert/165760. On that site Magister Albertus is credited with having written the earliest known 3 voice piece in Western music, the conductus "Benedicamus Domino" from the Codex Calixtinus while in the article it is said his only extant piece is the conductus "Congaudeant Catholici" (number of voices?) and the source is the New Grove. How can the two statements be reconciled? Signed: Basemetal ( write to me here) 01:37, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Note: Actually Larousse says "the earliest known piece in 3 voices" ("la première pièce à 3 voix connue") but they must mean "in Western music" since I doubt they took explicitly into account the Georgian Orthodox Church's 3 voice polyphony (but then again they may have or may have happened by chance to be right even with this broader statement).
