Commentary
This five-voice motet is attributed to Morales by Fuenllana. Angles transcribes Fuenllana’s version in the Appendix of morales1952, VIII, 117 (MME34). When that edition came out, no polyphonic source was known. The work appears as an anonymous composition in Musica quinque vocum: motteta materna lingua vocata. Venezia: G. Scotto, 1543 [RISM 1543/2] Jacobs (lviii) also suggests that the work is in Motetta trium vocum ab pluribus authoribus composita (Venezia: A. Gardane, 1543) [RISM 1543/6] but this appears not to be the case. Lewis gives the additional RISM 1549/6 print (Lewis1992, 657) where it is once again anonymous. The anonymous 1543/2 version is definietely the same work intabulated here.
