General Information
Title: Recordare, Domine, testamenti tui (2.p. Quiescat, Domine, ira tua)
Composer: Pierre de Manchicourt
Number of voices: 5vv Voicing: SAATB
Genre: Sacred, Motet, Introit from Mass for the Deliverance from Death in Time of Pestilence

First published: 1553 in Susato, Liber XIIII ecclesiasticarum cantionum quinque vocum [Antwerp], no. 5
Description: Manchicourt's setting juxtaposes a Phrygian cantus firmus and Dorian polyphony, giving rise to many simultaneous false relations (a regular feature of music of this period that many modern editors have sought to expunge through dogmatic mis-application of so-called 'rules' of counterpoint).
