Description

This cycle consists of a Sanctus, whose second part is written in the style of Elevation motets, and a motet, whose text is a compilation of Marian hymns.

Modern Editions

AMMM 6, 12-19; AMMM 13, 145-147 (motet only); CMM 15.4, 30-31 (motet only)

Notes

Only the motet Ave virgo gloriosa Maria mater gratiae is clearly attributed to Compère in a concordant source (I-Rvat CS 46). For the attribution of the Sanctus see M281.

According to WARD 1986, 506, Sanctus and Ave virgo gloriosa Maria mater gratiae are parts of a five-pieces cycle, whose components are dispersed in the four Libroni. In WARD’s hypothetical cycle, however, the motet O genitrix gloriosa M292 is placed between the Sanctus and Ave virgo gloriosa Maria mater gratiae.
