Biography
Planchart : Rénaud Liebert: Lieber was magister puerorum from 1425 to 1428 and from 1430 to 1434. His arrival is noted in an entry of 05 May 1425 in the grand métier [LAN, 4G 5059, 22r] and his activity is recorded in a number of entries in the aumosne. On 08 August 1425 he collated the matutinalia of the parish church of Sainte Croix [CBM 1056, 152v]. By 25 July 1428, when Jacques de Savoie was paid for a notarized inventory of Liebert’s goods, he was no longer the magister puerorum [LAN, 4G 5063, 36r]. His return is noted in an undated entry in the aumosne for 1430-31 [LAN, 4G 7761 (1430-31), 7v], but by 14 July 1434 he was relieved of his charge [LAN, 4G 7761, fascicle of 1434-45, 10r]. Liebert, like Loqueville, was married; he must have died not long after 1434. The chapter helped his son, Jehan Liebert, during an illness in 1441-42 [LAN 4G 7762 (1441-42), 9v] and his widow and daughter upon the wedding of the daughter in 1442 [LAN, 4G 1090, 8r, 05 September 1442].

• Libert, Reginaldus [Liebert] (fl c1425--35). French composer. He is sometimes identified with a Reginaldus who was magister puerorum in Cambrai in 1424. Stylistically his works belong to the period around 1430. The most interesting of these is the Marian mass (in I-TRmp 92). It resembles the Missa Sancti Jacobi of Du Fay in including settings of both Ordinary and Proper. All the movements except the Gloria and Credo are based on an ornamented form of the appropriate chant melody. Musical unification is achieved through the use of similar mensuration patterns throughout. Two rondeaux are attributed to him in GB-Ob can.misc.213, Mourir me voy and Mon cuer s'en va. Both are set for three voices, with only the highest voice texted. He also wrote a four-voice Kyrie (in I-TRmp 92). (All his works are ed. in CMM, xi/3, 1966, pp.62--96.)
