Commentary
This intabulation of “Pater noster,” the Lord’s prayer, by Guerrero gives the altus voice in mensural notation as well as the full four-voice texture in tablature. The rubric at the opening of this setting states: The altus voice that carries the plainsong melody is given so that by singing it the work may be enjoyed better. The mensural voice starts on the second [course] on the third fret.” The vocal model is in his Sacrae Cantiones of 1555.
