Commentary
The title indicates that this is a four-voice setting composition using the plainchant of the hymn “Ave maris stella” as the bass voice. The bass voice is shown in red ciphers and the text of the hymn is underlaid beneath the tablature.
Hymn melody is from ST 193 (Bruno STÄBLEIN, Hymnen I., Die mittelalterlichen Hymnenmelodien des Abendlandes; Monumenta monodica medii aevi 1, Kassel und Basel, 1956).
