Commentary
Intabulation of the secunda pars of Willaert’s motet for Mid-Lent Laetare Sunday “Laetare sancta mater.” The text of the secunda pars is drawn from the Gradual of the Mass on the feast of St Augustine. First published in Venice in 1539.

Song Text
Augustine lux doctorum firmamentum ecclesiae
malleus hereticorum summum vas scientiae,
pro tuis fidelibus roga Deum que sumus.
Augustine, light of the wise, support of the church
the hammer of the heretics, the greatest weapon of science
pray for your faithful God who we are.
