"Josquin de pres" (MotettiLQ)
Description

The cycle consists of seven motets, the last divided into three partes (for alternative configurations, see Further notes and compare the shorter cognate cycles C53b Ora pro nobis virgo and C53c Sancta dei genitrix). The texts derive from Marian antiphons and prayers, and contain litanic interpolations (the last one, in M232 Christe fili dei, addressed to Christ).

Notes

Compare the shorter cognate cycles C53b Ora pro nobis virgo and C53c Sancta dei genitrix.

MACEY 1989 proposed an extended and partially reordered cycle, including Josquin’s “little” Ave Maria and his Tu lumen, tu splendor patris. Elders discusses the hypothesis in the critical notes to the edition of the work in NJE (CC) 25.

See information on this cycle as part of The Josquin Research Project.
