Commentary

An intabulation by Valderrábano of a five-voice motet that the vihuelist attributes to Verdelot but does not appear in any source with his authorship, but corresponding to a composition by Jean Richafort in numerous sources. The motet text is a tenebrae responsory for Holy Saturday. The Richafort version was published five time prior to the publication of Silva de Sirenas:
Secundus liber cum quinque vocibus (Lyon: Jacques Modeme, 1532), no 22
Motettorum Liber octavus (París: Pierre Attaignant, 1534), no 13
Mottetti del fiore. Secundus liber (Lyon: Jacques Modeme, 1539), no 8
Selectissimarum mutetarum (Nuremberg: Georg Forster, 1540), part 1, no. 1
Das Dritt Buch Ein new kunslich lauten (Nuremberg: Hans Gunter, 1544).

Song Text

Hierusalem luge
et exue te vestiibus
induere cinere et cilicio
quia in te occisus est salvator Israel.

Mourn, O Jerusalem,
and put off your garments of rejoicing;
cover yourselves with sack-cloth and ashes:
for the Saviour of Israel has been slain in your midst.
