This Christ-tide motet, written at St Mark's (Venice) exploits the acoustics of that building in a setting copied from Baldassare Donato, whose prototype setting is also a notAmos edition. Instruments may be used to replace or reinforce the voices.
Lyrics: Anon

Virgo decus nemorum
Geminasque audita per auras
Quaeque sonos ludis
Concava saepe meos
Hic quis clamor [Amor]
Quis natus Virgine magnus [Agnus]
Dic oro curita clamat [Amat]
Est ne torus mollis sibi stravit quem pia mater [Ater]
An est Echo causa tua [Ausa tua]
Hunc quis de caelis duxit [Lis duxit]
At istam dic vincet [Vincet]
Num moriens [Oriens]
Diligere hunc ergo par est
super omnis Christum [istum]
Quid gravius in amore [morae]
De flores [Ores]
Nunc est Deus ille [Heus ille]
An gratum me forereris [Eris]
Ad praesepe iter ergo alacres teneamus [Eamus]
Munera parva feram [Feram]
