Attribution Note
A-Wn Mus.Hs. 18832 is untexted, but a fully-texted version appears in the "Diphona amoena et florida" of 1549, where it is attributed to "PYRSON DE LARUE." This source is well after the death of both Pierre de la Rue and Loyset Compére. The duo also appears as "Le renvoye" in D-Mbs 260.
The first voice is essentially the same as the top part in Compére's 3-voice "Le renvoy dung cueur" (down an octave), and the first 6 notes of the lower voice match those of the tenor in Compére's rondeau (also down an octave). The rest of the lower voice is quite different, so may have been written by La Rue, or another. (WG Kempster)
