i would say that even Jacques Berthier is just one of thousand of plagiarists of this melody because it is known from Renaissance! i have it in a score of renaissance pieces and later will tell you the author's name if i would be able to find it out of a mass of scores i have.
Somehow that doesn't surprise me. It does sound much older, doesn't it?

I'm not sorry I said anything, though. Like it or not, Berthier's estate has the copyright on it now.
