Intabulation of the 2ª pars of Josquin’s motet “Benedicta es regina caelorum”. The setting is in two voices and is quite literal but with some divisions added earlier in the piece to match the faster notes in the ending of Josquin’s original which, on the vihuela, results in extended passages in parallel thirds. The complete motet is available at https://imslp.org/wiki/Benedicta_es%2C_coelorum_regina%2C_NJE_23.13_(Josquin_Desprez), accessed 10/10/2022. The text of this section is as follows.
Per illud ave prolatum
Et tuum responsum gratum
Est ex te Verbum incarnatum,
Quo salvantur omnia.
(Through that spoken "Hail" / And your pleasing response / The Word became flesh from you / By whom all are saved.)
The earliest printed copy of the model is in RISM 1520/4, fols. 59v-68. A list of manuscript sources is on DIAMM (https://www.diamm.ac.uk/compositions/35882/)
