about

Anonymous setting of the Communio for votive Mass of the Blessed Virgin Mary after Nativity.
This piece comes from the choirbook Jena,Thüringer Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek, MS 33 that originally belonged to the castle church in Wittenberg under Frederick the Wise. It contains several cycles of polyphonic propers of the Mass for the feasts of Saints as well as several setting of the ordinary. It has been speculated they might have been composed by Adam Rener, Kapellmester to Frederick the Wise between 1507 and 1517.
This piece is an example of strict cantus firmus technique, chant is presented in bass in equal breves (to be read in double proportion), without any rest or interpolated notes.

lyrics

Beáta víscera Maríæ Vírginis, quæ portavérunt ætérni Patris Fílium.

Blessed is the womb of the Virgin Mary, which bore the Son of the eternal Father.
