Conradus was an Italian representative of the manneristic school of composers known as the ars subtilior, closely associated with the courts of the schismatic popes during the period of the Avignon Papacy.
Prior to coming to Bologna but after his election to the schismatic papacy in 1409 Alexander had been in Pistoia, Conradus's likely birthplace.
Conradus was probably a singer at San Reparata in Florence, where employment records show he joined the choir in December 1410.
The new antipope, newly arrived in Florence in late 1410, had a close connection with the Medici family, and Conradus was probably associated with his court as well.
One is on a Latin text indicating his association with a papal court; the other is a secular work in French.
