ascending from above streams of water, | |||
the scent of whose garments was like | |||
roses and lilies of the valley. | |||

as terrible as an army arrayed for battle? Alleluia.}} | |||

Description: This is one of seven settings of text from the Song of Songs (Canticum Canticorum) among Manchicourt's output of more than seventy motets, and his only surviving eight-part motet. It is the opening work of two printed collections — Attaingnant's 1545 reissue of his 1539 volume of Manchicourt motets, and the first volume of Berg & Neuber's Thesaurus musicus. It also appears in three hand-copied manuscripts — two from Bavaria and one from the Kassel court of Philip of Hesse. Also appearing in the same volume of Thesaurus musicus is a contrafactum of this motet, Salva nos Christe Salvator, attributed dubiously to Jacobus Clemens non Papa.
