Description: This piece has become famous because of the anecdote attached to it: when the singers of the Papal chapel, who sang it regularly and loved it, heard from the visiting Willaert that it was not by Josquin, as they believed, but by him, they didn't want to sing it anymore. Willaert's pupil Zarlino related this story in his 'Le istitutioni harmoniche'.

Verbum bonum et suave,
Personemus illud Ave,
Per quod Christi fit conclave,
Virgo mater filia.
Per quod Ave salutata
Mox concepit fecundata,
Virgo David stirpe nata,
Inter spinas lilia.
Ave, veri Salomonis
Mater, vellus Gedeonis,
Cuius Magi tribus donis
Laudant puerperium. Alleluia.
Ave, solem genuisti,
Ave, prolem protulisti,
mundo lapso contulisti
vitam et imperium.
Ave, sponsa verbi summi,
maris portus, signum dumi,
aromatum, virga fumi,
angelorum domina.
Supplicamus, nos emenda,
emendatos nos commenda
tuo natu ad habenda
sempiterna gaudia. Alleluia. Amen.
