Most of the motets, like the poems, related to the politics of the time. The number of surviving works lies between 11 and 26, with 16 attributions being generally accepted; Polyphonic music of the fourteenth century v. 1 contains Leo Schrade's edition of the Complete Works with 14 motets, all for 3 or 4 voices.
