Description: The second alto part (Sextus) sings the motto: Nosce te ipsum (Know thyself) on a so called soggetto cavato melody. It means that the melody is determined by the vowels of the motto (O, E, E, I, U), which are interpreted as solmization names: sol, re, re, mi, ut, and they are rendered in the hexachordum naturale (C-A) as G, D, D, E, C, and in the hexachordum molle (F-D) as C, G, G, A, F. Lassus uses this melody G-D-D-E-C, C-G-G-A-F first in long note values then in ever shorter note values.
