Further notes: 

SCHMIDT 2017, 31 underlines that the three concordances of this cycle transmit it following Compère's cycle C44 In nomine Iesu / Officium de cruce, also linked to the Holy Week. According to him, the two cycles are stylistically similar and Compère's authorship of the cycle Popule meus has to be considered seriously.

C59 Popule meus quid feci tibi

[Compère, Loyset (?)]
