- Edition notes: Transposed up from likely performance pitch (still down a tone from publication pitch) to be suitable for SATTB. The Lilypond source code is specially designed to be easy to transpose, change clefs, change music font size, change paper size etc, so users are encouraged to experiment: see my | easy guide here. Corrections and constructive criticism welcomed. See https://github.com/guidallambert/Gabrieli-AveSanctissimaMaria

- Edition notes: High clefs suggest an original performance pitch down a fifth from the published source for ATTTB but other voicings should work - ATTBB, ATBBB, STTTB, STTBB or STBBB etc. The Lilypond source code is specially designed to be easy to transpose, change clefs, change music font size, change paper size etc, so users are encouraged to experiment: see my | easy guide here.

Description: A short, but charming Marian motet suitable for all liturgical contexts associated with the Virgin Mary.
Andreae Gabrielis Sacrae Cantiones […], Liber Primus, published Antonio Gardano, Venice 1565. See the main CPDL page for this publication for more commentary and links to the other motets in the volume.
As suggested on the 1565 title page, instrumental support or substitution is optional but worth considering. The source is in high clefs, so downward transposition for performance was likely.
