Composer: Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina
Number of voices: 4vv Voicing: SATB

Description: Palestrina follows a common practice of his time by setting only odd-numbered stanzas (five of them) of the Gregorian chant Mode 3 hymn text, it being understood that the even-numbered stanzas would be chanted (and the first stanza chanted as an introduction). It is interesting to note that the hymn text, by Caelius Sedulis (5th-century) has the peculiar feature that the stanzas begin with successive letters of the alphabet: A, Beatus, Castae, Domus, Enixa, Foeno, Gaudet, etc.
