Commentary

Intabulation of Verdelot’s four-voice motet “Repleti sunt quide, spiritu sancto,” the secunda pars of “Virtute magna.” The text of “Repleti sunt” is drawn from Acts 4:31 and used as a responsory for the mass on Easter Wednesday. The version published in “Motteti del fiore… libro primo” (1532) is attributed to Mathieu Lasson. The version in “Symphoniae iucundae atque adeo breves quatuor vocum” (Wittenburg: Georg Rhau, 1538) is attributed to Verdelot and corresponds to this intabulation.

Song Text

Repleti sunt quidem spiritu sancto
loquebantur cum fiducia verbum dei.
Testimonium resurrectionis jesu christi
domini nostri alleluya alleluya.

They were indeed filled with the Holy Spirit
and spoke the word of God with boldness,
bearing witness to the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
our Lord. Alleluia.
