This motet had variously been described as being composed of 4 choirs (of varying sizes between 6 and 16 voices), or 10 choirs of 4 voices; however, it shares identical voicing with Striggio's 40-voice Missa sopra Ecco sì beato giorno, which is for five SATB-SATB choirs; unlike the mass, some choir entries include extra voices from adjacent choirs, blurring such clear delineation.
