Description

The cycle consists of nine motets. The texts of motets 3-9 are stanzas from the Passion hymn Patris sapientia, used in the Short Office of the Cross; the first two motets set a passage from Philippians 2 (used as an ingressa for Palm Sunday in the Ambrosian rite) and an expanded version of the antiphon for the Holy Cross Adoramus te Christe, respectively.
