- Edition notes: Reformatting of #35709, with minor corrections to the underlay. Note values halved. MusicXML source file(s) in compressed .mxl format.

- Edition notes: Down a fourth for lower voices (as suggested by Gabrieli's use of high clefs). Various voice combinations might work: SSTTB, AATTB, SSTBarB, AATBarB. However, the Lilypond source code is specially designed to be easy to transpose, change clefs, change music font size, change paper size etc, so users are encouraged to experiment. Corrections and constructive criticism welcomed.

- Edition notes:Original source is in high clefs, so performance pitch was probably lower. With this score I've chosen to go down a tone for SSATB.

Description: A short, but melismatic and lyrical Marian motet suitable for all liturgical contexts associated with the Virgin Mary.
Source: Andreae Gabrielis Sacrae Cantiones […], Liber Primus, published Antonio Gardano, Venice 1565. See the main CPDL page for this publication for more commentary and links to the other motets in the volume.
As suggested on the 1565 title page, instrumental support or substitution is optional but worth considering. The source is in high clefs, so downward transposition for performance was likely.
