Description: The source is Attaingnant's 12th book of motets, which is devoted to Marian antiphons. Although few works by the composer (fl. 1534-60), who wrote both songs and motets, have survived, this setting is a surprisingly successful and sonorous one, notable both for its length and for the number of voices used. The voices are sometimes divided into two four-part choirs, and the variety in the number of voices used suggests a composer who thought about what would work effectively.
