Commentary

A setting of the Magnificat verse “Suscepit Israel puerum suum: recordatus misericordiae suae” (Luke 1:54) in two voices. No polyphonic model has yet been identified. It is ascribed to “Guerrero” without further specification. The setting is not found among the Francisco Guerrero settings published Louvain 1563, Rome 1584, Nüremberg 1591, Venice 1597.
