Commentary

Setting of the Doxoogy in mode 6, as a conclusion to the preceeding mode 5 Fabordon. The setting is in five voices and much more more ornamental than the largely homophonic fabordon settings. The original vocal polyphony shows it to be the doxology from the anonymous setting in E-GRmf 975, fols. 51v-52r (ruiz2022).
