In the 13th century missals with neumes decreased in favour of missals with music on lines, which flourished until the end of the 14th century. ... In 15th-century missals very little music was noted: the liturgical recitatives belonging to the celebrant (Preface, Pater noster) and the intonations of the Ordinary (Gloria in excelsis Deo, Credo in unum Deum); and sometimes also the Ite missa est, sung by the deacon. These pieces were reproduced from 1476 onwards in the first printed missals with music...)
